Scott John Monsen
September 22, 1952 – April 30, 2026
Scott John Monsen crossed over the bridge on his way home. He passed as a result of complications coincident to his ongoing battle with cancer. He passed peacefully while surrounded by family and loved ones.
Scott was born to Gale and Doris Monsen in Ogden, Utah on Sept 22, 1952. He was the oldest of 3 children and grew up in Washington Terrace. As he grew up, he formed friendships with other neighbor children while still in church primary. To many of these friends he was called 'Mincemeat,' and these friends would last his lifetime with some beside him in his final moments. Scott played youth baseball, coached by his father. Scott used the lessons learned in his youth as he would later coach baseball teams for his sons and grandsons.
As a boy he spent countless summer days under the big sky of Montana in and around West Yellowstone. His father taught him to fish on Hebgen Lake. Scott went to the Lake virtually every year of his life, passing on his love for the area to his children and grandchildren. His most peaceful moments were sitting on his pontoon boat, trolling through the glassy waters of the lake.
Scott attended Bonneville High School and was a letterman in Wrestling and Soccer. He said that "Soccer was the only girls sport a boy could play without getting laughed at." And "If you can't kick the ball, be sure to kick somebody." During his life he enjoyed playing soccer, baseball, golf, and softball (Mincemeat wasn't an intimidating batter until after he belted it over the outfielders' heads and over the fence). He always insisted playing Ice Hockey was the most fun he ever had playing sports.
Scott served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Southern States Mission, spending much of his time in Missouri. While in Missouri, Scott developed a deep-rooted testimony and faith he continued to profess with his final breath.
Scott had 2 great loves in his life. He met Marcianne Call on a blind date and they were married in the Ogden LDS Temple on Aug. 1974. Shari was born to Marci and Scott in August 1975. Marci passed in July 1976. He met Dana Louise Rogers at Weber State and were married in the Ogden LDS Temple on Nov. 1978. Michael was born in January 1980, and David completed the family in Sept. 1981.
Scott was heavily invested in the Scouting Program. Hundreds of young men and adult leaders can attribute who they are because of Scott's involvement in their lives. In recognition of over 50 years of volunteer service, Scott was the recipient of the Silver Beaver award; the highest award offered by the Boy Scouts of America. Scott led young men and boys on countless adventures, teaching skills and life lessons. He served in multiple Wood Badge staff roles over many years. He took the knowledge and skills he
possessed and passed them on to younger generations of leaders, who in turn taught them to their own units and troops, making Scott's influence in scouting incalculable. Scott was dedicated to improving his community, putting his beliefs into action. He served for over 12 years on the Washington Terrace City Council, voting his heart and doing what he felt was right, even if he voted alone.
Scott's greatest achievement was his family and the love he shared with them. He led by example and gentle instruction. Through his example, both his sons served missions, and all his children married in the temple. Scott being a strong chain link in a generation's long legacy of faith. Many times, in his life he could have chosen the easier way or given up in the face of devastating hardship. But always, Scott persevered.
He is proceeded into the next life by his parents and his sweetheart Marci Call Monsen. He leaves behind his sweetheart Dana Rogers Monsen, his Daughter Shari Lucas (Bret), and his sons, Michael (Camille) and David. He also leaves eleven grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild, his sisters Debbie Eckersley, Shelley Monsen, and you.
