was united in marriage to the love of his life, Julie Erdmann on April 30, 1977 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Le Mars. Scott & Julie were high school sweet hearts. Their marriage of 41 years was, and still is, an inspiration to many, especially their children. Scott and Julie were inseparable from the start. They never left each other or the kids behind. Together they would attend college at Iowa State University and Scott graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. He began his career as a civil engineer with a firm in Omaha, Nebraska until going to work as an engineer in Le Mars. Shortly thereafter, he then began his over 30-year career with the City of Le Mars in 1988. He started as the City Engineer and later became the City Administrator/City Engineer. Scott was passionate about his work and was devoted to the prosperity of the City of Le Mars. He was dedicated to the City and it was obvious in his ability to state important facts about previous projects. With the help of many others, he was instrumental in the progress of the City Golf Course, Airport, various parks, and more recently the theater, LeMars Shelter House and the WillowTree Camp Grounds improvements. Scott was diagnosed with Stage IV Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2008. Scott proved his strength, will, stubbornness and relentless pursuit to overcome the prognosis while inspiring his family, enduring more than a decade of treatment. Scott's endless pursuit for a cure continues in the afterlife, dedicating his body to science to end the fight for cancer once and for all. Scott spent anytime outside of the office with his family. He was extremely close to his kids, wife, parents and siblings. All trips included family members and his favorite destinations were near the ocean. With the help of his family, Scott built his own home and helped renovate many others. Scott was a teacher, craftsman and mentor.
