John Scott

John Michael Scott, 67, of McGregor left this life Sunday, November 19, 2017 while on vacation in Omaha, NE. He suffered a heart attack and couldn’t be revived. There will be no services per John’s request.

John started his life in Washington State and joined the Air Force during the Vietnam conflict. He worked for Boeing Aviation the majority of his West Coast life. In the late 1990s he moved to Alaska, where his soon to be good friend connected. He met his friend’s sister, Julie Ball, and they became good friends and were married March 25, 2005. John became a husband, grandpa and great-grandpa all at the same time.  He found the family that he always yearned for and even met his biological father just last year. John could fix almost anything and has left an unfillable hole with his family.

John is survived by his wife, Julie; two daughters, Trina (Jim) Springsteen of Marquette and Kristi (Todd) Shaffer of McGregor; his grandchildren, Ben, Becca, Katlyn and Gunnar; his great-grandson, Kennith; his father, Jack “John” Ourada; two sisters, Paula Brown and Sue Bachmeier; and his brother, Matt Bachmeier. He was preceded in death by his mother, Dolores; and his father-in-law, Marvin Ball.

Rest in peace, John as your next chapter takes you on another adventure of wanderlust.
