Obituary

Scott as he was known, was born in Attica, Kansas on April 22nd, 1963 to Everett Joe and Vicky Diane (Ruff) Inslee. Scott was a welcome addition for his sister Tammy Jo. The family added another sister three years later, Cathy Lynn.

Scott's early years were spent in Sharon and Attica until his parents divorced when he was in the 3rd grade. Scott first moved to Wichita with his mom and sisters. They would eventually settle in Roanoke, Texas. He said he hated the 3rd grade because they moved so much that year.

Some of his favorite childhood memories were made in Roanoke. He met his lifelong friend Adrian "Boo Boo" Womack. Scott had several stories about camping out, riding bikes, and dirt bikes at Marshall Creek. He loved to talk about the trailer park they lived at in Roanoke and all the friends and the trouble he got into.

No matter what was going on, Scott always made sure to catch up with Boo when he was back in Roanoke. Scott graduated from Northwest High School in Justin, Texas in 1982. He worked around the Dallas/Fort Worth area for about a year after graduating.

Scott then moved back to Attica, it was where he had spent his summers and holidays growing up. It was those summers spent with his dad Everett that Scott learned how to operate bulldozers, dragline, grader, tractor, and drive a semi-truck.

Scott moved in with his dad and started working for him full time. He had a 72 Nova at that time. Working for his dad he was able to upgrade to a 74 Corvette. In his free time, he hung-out with friends at Sharon, Attica, and Medicine Lodge.

Scott lived in Sharon and Attica while he worked for his dad. In 1988 he moved to Medicine Lodge where he worked for Clark Oilfield.

On January 10th 1989 Scott welcomed Michael Scott. It was then that Everett began talking to Scott about coming back to work for him and owning part of the business. Unfortunately, less than a month later on February 9th, 1989 Everett was killed in a car wreck.

Scott decided to buy some of his dad's equipment and his house. In April 1989 he moved back to Attica and started Inslee Dozer Service. It was hard at first to make ends meet and he always said he had to work 15 years to get his first vacation. Everything worked out, because Inslee Dozer Service was in business for 30 years.

On June 16th, 1993 Scott was handed a piece of paper the name Brayden Joseph written on it. But after a high-risk delivery and his new baby in the NICU, he misplaced the paper and named the baby Brandon Joe, "close" he said.

In his free time Scott loved going to the Sand Dunes at Little Sahara State Park in Waynoka, Oklahoma during the spring and fall. He discovered Beaver Lake in Arkansas in 2003 and was able to make it there a few times each summer. The trips to the dunes and lake always included the kids and eventually grandkids.

Scott traveled to many places in his RVs over the years. He saw places he had never imagined visiting.

In the last few years Scott found a love for mountain biking. He said it was his "cheapest" hobby.

Scott moved to Queen Creek, Arizona and it was there that he took his own life after a short battle with untreated severe depression.
