Scott was very passionate about music, more specifically playing the drums. He started playing as a kid and was in a band at the age of 15 until he started playing with his dad in the Russ Wilson band. He was always a passionate sports fan and enjoyed watching NASCAR, the Packers, and the Badgers throughout the years. He also took great pride in his yard and could frequently be seen tending to it. The most important thing to Scott was his family, especially his grandson, Mack, who he always made sure to spend as much time with as possible.
