Predeceased by his father Ray Scott, brothers Murray and Robbie Scott, father and mother-in-law, John and Ferne Wickenheiser, brother-in-law Don Leis and sister-in-law, Grace Wickenheiser.

Marty’s enthusiasm for life shone through in his coaching of softball, as he traveled across Ontario, Canada, the USA, and Australia with the 'Boys'. He managed numerous hockey teams, was always volunteering, and, having grown up in 4-H himself, saw it as a great way to pass on those values to his own children. His unwavering support followed them in their 4-H and cattle industry pursuits. During show season, many knew him as 'Uncle Marty,' and he was always eager for the start of calving season.

Though he cherished his quiet moments on the farm, he also relished being out on the lake, fishing. Every outing came with a grand story, as no trip was ever ordinary.

Visitation will be held at the Davey-Linklater Funeral Home, Kincardine on Monday, March 17th, from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m., where the funeral service to honour Marty’s life will held on Tuesday, March 18th, 2025, at 1 p.m., with visitation from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
