Scott Katz, age 47, of Everett, Washington, passed away peacefully at home with his wife, children, sister and neice by his side.
Scott was born March 23, 1965, to Joseph and Roberta (Goldin) Katz in Brooklyn, NY. He lived in and attended school in Hollywood, Fl. until 1978 when his family moved to Everett, Wa. He was raised and educated in Everett, where he attended Evergreen Middle School and later graduated from Cascade High School in 1983. Scott was on the football team at Cascade and made the AllState team. He also wrestled for Cascade and was their first two-time State Wrestling Champion. After high school, he received a football scholorship to the University of Idaho in Moscow, Id. On July 4th, 1988, he met his future bride, thanks to their mother's who had set them up on a blind date. A year later he married Kathleen (Camp) Katz on July 22, 1989. Scott held several jobs before he found work at Boeing and then later found his calling in the mortgage business where he enjoyed helping others realize their dream of homeownership. Due to health problems, Scott had to retire from the mortgage business in 2008, but later found a new hobby in currency trading.
Scott loved attending his son's sporting events and his daughter's choir performances at Glacier Peak and Cascade High School. He truly enjoyed cooking, traveling and doing home improvement projects. He was generous of heart, constant in faith and possessed the beautiful spirit, 1 Samuel 25:3.
Into every family falls some sorrow when a dearly loved husband, father, brother and uncle leaves this world. They may be gone but they are never forgotten--they are loved forever. Scott will forever be in the hearts of his wife, Kathy and children, Bryan and Nichole of Everett, WA; his sister, Randi Edwards of Everett, WA; His neice, Mandi Calderon of Everett,WA; his nephew, Jesse Calderon of Everett, Wa; and his great neice's and nephew, Paris, Brooklynn, Savannah, Kade and Corrine of Everett, Wa. Scott was preceded in death by his parents and brother Brian.
The Family would like to express a heartfelt Thank You to the doctors and staff at The Everett Clinic, Providence Regional Medical Center Everett and the Puget Sound Kidney Center for their hard work, dedication and many years of love and support. We would also like to thank Derek Hudson and the entire Hudson family, Jan Catey, Kirk Edwards and Cascade Memorial for their time and generosity.
I miss you, dad.
Scott was a wonderful character that made life more interesting. My prayers are with his family as this was a very substantial lost to you and all who knew scott.
I was sorry to hear of Scott's passing and to hear of it so late (almost a year late). I knew him in college at the U of I where we were resident adviser partners. We developed a friendship that I regret not following up on after college even though I was invited to Scott's wedding. Scott, I am proud to have known you and will always think fondly about your sense of humor. Condolences to your family.
Scott's spirit shall live on through the beauty of his family. I so enjoyed his smile, his laugh, his sense of wonder. Peace in its time to all family and friends of this wonderful brother.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Katz family. I am so thankful to have known Scott. I first met him at the state wrestling tournament in High school, and then i had the privilege to also play football with him at Idaho. Scott will be truly missed, but never forgotten.
Your Gentle Giant will live forever through each of you! The definition of Champion - One that is clearly superior or has the attributes of a winner. He was a Champion!
Even though I have not had the pleasure to see you since Cascade, you were a person that can be regarded as loved by all who knew you :) Rest in Peace and may God comfort your family in their time of sorrow.
I was so sorry to hear of Scott's passing. I lived across the street from him when we were in jr and sr. high. He was truely like a brother to me. He had a very kind soul! I am so glad he had such a special family to love and grow with... So sorry, My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I'm so sad to hear this news. Scott was a truly great man! While we grew apart over the years I have such great memories of working with Scott. We had great Buzz Inn breakfast meetings and laughed all the time!
Scotty, I was so pleased to have had the privilege of laying ball with you at Idaho. You had an infectious attitude and demonstated a love of life. I was glad to have had the chance to have lunch with you and Kathy and to see your love for Christ shine in spite of difficult circumstances. Enjoy new adventures at home.
Ps 116:15
A great Man is now in a better place. You inspired all of us. You will be missed.
Scotty, you will never be forgotten. So blessed that we briefly reconnected last year. I will never forget your infectious smile and big bear hugs. I know you will always be watching over your family.
but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint
Isaih 40:31
Scott, you are a great guy. We haven't seen each other much these past few years but believe me when I say I missed you and will miss you more. Our friend and co-worker Larry Gusa will be in Heaven to show you the ropes.
Till we meet again.
Bye
