Martin “Marty” James Earl Scott of Kincardine, died Sunday, March 9, 2025, surrounded by family, at the South Bruce Grey Health Centre, Kincardine, at the age of 65.

Best friend and husband of Sue Scott (née Wickenheiser).

Loving father of Matthew Scott (Amanda) and Melinda Scott.

Doting pappa of Mason.

Cherished son of Catherine Scott (née Gropp).

Missed by his siblings, Cheryl Penney (Norm), Chris Fries (Greg), Jeff Scott (Sue), Julie Leis (Paul Romanko), and Jamie Scott (Sherri).

Fondly remembered by his in-laws, Don Wickenheiser (Laurie) and Ed Wickenheiser (Lizzy), along with several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbours and friends.

Predeceased by his father, Ray Scott; brothers, Murray and Robbie Scott; father- and mother-in-law, John and Ferne Wickenheiser; brother-in-law, Don Leis; and sister-in-law, Grace Wickenheiser.

Marty’s enthusiasm for life shone through in his coaching of softball, as he travelled across Ontario, Canada, the United States, and Australia with the 'Boys'.

He managed numerous hockey teams, was always volunteering, and, having grown up in 4-H, himself, saw it as a great way to pass on those values to his own children. His unwavering support followed them in their 4-H and cattle industry pursuits. During show season, many knew him as 'Uncle Marty,' and he was always eager for the start of calving season.

Though he cherished his quiet moments on the farm, he also relished being out on the lake, fishing. Every outing came with a grand story, as no trip was ever ordinary.

Visitation will be held at the Davey-Linklater Funeral Home, Kincardine, Monday, March 17, 2025, from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m., where the funeral will be held, Tuesday, March 18, 2025, at 1 p.m., with visitation from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Memorial donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or 4-H Ontario would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy.
