Scott Kenneth Macdonald December 17, 1957 ~ August 28, 2024

Scott Kenneth Macdonald passed away on August 28, 2024, in Beaver, Utah after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer 10 years ago. 
He was born to Kenneth and Jessie Mae Redd Macdonald on December 17, 1957, and grew up alongside his older sister, Marta, and younger brother, Paul, in Blanding, Utah.
It was there that Scott learned the value of hard work, formed lasting friendships and developed many talents that he continued to share throughout his life.
Scott was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  He was deeply committed to his faith and had an unwavering testimony that carried him through many trials that he faced and endured.
He served a mission in Madrid, Spain, gained a deep love for  the people there and used the language often throughout his life.  He married his sweetheart, Wendy Rynearson, of 37 years, in the Manti, Utah temple on July 10, 1987.
Family was of utmost importance to Scott, as shown through the time he spent with loved ones, the thoughtful gifts he gave, his always-listening ear, and his joy in playing and reading countless books to his children and grandchildren. 
Together, Scott and Wendy are pillars of their family, known for their unwavering support and dedication.  Scott taught valuable lessons, delivered many a lecture, and was a source of knowledge, strength, and inspiration.
Scott endeared himself to his family and everyone he met through his sense of humor, genuine love, and warmth, no one went away a stranger.
With everything Scott did while on earth, his main priority was to leave the person, the communities, or the circumstances better than before.  He shared his many gifts and learned talents to accomplish this, touching countless lives through his selfless service.
He is survived by his loving wife, Wendy, and their children, Katie (Kris) Gundersen, Annie (Nick) Pray, Ken (Draylie) Macdonald, Kellie (Maverik) Shumway, and Taylor (Bree) Macdonald and his 18 (and counting) grandchildren, and siblings Marta and Paul (Lisa).
Scott was preceded in death by his parents, a still born sister Ann Marie and a granddaughter.
A viewing was held on Monday, September 2 at the Beaver Stake Center (1350 E 200 N, Beaver, UT), commemorating a life well-lived and a man deeply loved by all who knew him.
