Scott Lorenzen
Scott attended school in Columbus, WI until 5th grade when the family moved to Adams-Friendship. He enjoyed playing volleyball and basketball in High School. Graduating in 1981 he then went to trade school in Wisconsin Rapids. Having his CDL license he moved to Texas working as a surveyor and Vibe Operator for an oil company. After a couple years the company moved him to Montana and Wyoming. He worked out West for 2 ½ years before moving back to Wisconsin. Scott enjoyed traveling and was not a fan of Wisconsin winters so off he went to work in Florida.
In 1987-1988 he moved back home and worked for Rhinehart Building, then for Best Energies as a shipping clerk. When Best downsized Scott joined a tower painting crew then started his own business. When he became ill, and diagnosed with cancer at the age of 59, he took a part time maintenance position for the town of Rome. He was in remission at time of his passing.
Scott had met the love of his life, Sherry Marie Cook. So very kind and good they were to one another.
Scott very much enjoyed strumming away on his guitar, sitting outside watching the wildlife, campfires, spending time with and helping friends. He belonged to The River Rats Camping group.
Scott was preceded in joining the Lord: Mother and Father, Earl Lorenzen and Georgiana Klicko (Lorenzen).
Scott is survived by Sherry Marie Cook (soulmate); Sister Donna Abfall (Lorenzen); Brother-in-law Roger Abfall; Nephew Mac Abfall; Nieces: Jocelyn Feest (Abfall), Georgiana Reichard (Abfall), and Mikkin Budiac (Abfall); and 4 great nieces.

So very sad to hear abt Scott’s passing. He was an amazing man and a good friend to all. Everyone who knew him loved him. His ability to smile and laugh no matter what was such a blessing to all of us who knew him. He was always so kind and happy to see me when ever we ran into each other and I always loved that because seeing him always brought a smile to my face too, he was a dear friend to my uncle Scott so I knew him since I was a kid, he certainly didnt have to talk to me but he always did and he looked out for me a lot in my younger years too when I’d be partying with him and others at Who cares or wherever i happened to be and I’d run into him. Many fond memories of Scott. My condolences to you Sherry and all who knew and loved him. The world is definitely a sadder place without his smile and kind heart in it.

So sorry to hear this news. I got to know him when his family moved to Easton many years ago. He always had a smile and enjoyed a good time. He could always bring a smile to my face when I ran into him. Sending our heartfelt condolences to Sherry and his family.
Ohhh noooo. So sorry, so sad to hear this. I knew Scott from elementary and high school and as a neighbor. My step dad’s brother married his Mom, who I often realized his mom is where he got his good nature from.
Whenever I saw him he ALWAYS had a smile. I love his kindness and quiet way he carried himself. A real genuinely good man. His sister also had the sweetest heart.
I Will always remember him and smile.
God bless you Scott Lorenzen! I feel blessed to have known you my friend. And God bless and comfort all his family and loved ones.
