Scott “Scooter” Minnette, 54, of Evansville went home to Jesus on Sunday, December 11, 2016 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Scott was born New Years Eve, 1961 in Princeton, Indiana and was raised in Haubstadt. He was a 1980 graduate of Gibson Southern High School. Scott received his Bachelor’s in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Purdue University and obtained his Law Degree from Valparaiso University. He spent most of his career in sales. The two most important things to him were his faith in Jesus and his children. He loved to take his kids to St. Louis Cardinals games, worship both in private and at church, travel, and cheer on Purdue. He never met a stranger and was always searching for a laugh. He was a loving father, caring friend, and obedient servant of Jesus Christ.

He is survived by children, Nichole Winstead (Erik), Hannah Robitaille (Alex), Rebekah Minnette, Leah Minnette, and Jacob Minnette; mother of his children, Ronda Minnette; siblings, Robert Minnette, Deborah Humpert (Ronald), David Minnette, Timothy Minnette (Rhonda), Cynthia McClanahan (Randal), and Gregory Minnette; grandchildren, Suzanna and Caroline Fritts; and many loving nieces and nephews.
