Scott Kevin Alberts

On Sunday, September 15, 2024, Scott Kevin Alberts played his last game in the final season of his life. In true Scott fashion, he slam-dunked his way into the family hall of fame, ultimately stealing the title of MVG. (Most Valuable Grandpa) 

Born on November 6, 1952, Scott was the bouncing baby boy of Harry and Ruth Alberts, who preceded him in death. Scott spent the final season of his life defying the odds, rallying from tremendous setbacks, and inspiring those around him.

Team Alberts was preparing for the long game when Scott pulled off a wild fake, taking the victory to the pearly gates. Without a doubt, a crowd was cheering him across the finish line as he was joyfully welcomed onto the winners' stage by his sweet wife, Teresa Lou Sherman, and their baby boy, Kevin Paul Alberts.

Scott served an LDS mission in Hong Kong and upon returning home, he met and married the love of his life Teresa. Together they drafted their "starting lineup" of children: Jaron, Tristen (Dave), Brandon, Camille (Will), and Kevin. His four older children all survive him today as part of Team Alberts. Scott and Teresa had 48 successful years together where they planned and pulled off many celebrations, camping trips, cruises and adventures.

Scott had a rich and varied career, trying his hand at many different businesses, but he found his true professional home in the latter part of his career as a dedicated employee at Temple Square, where he worked until his retirement.

Despite facing medical hardships later in life, Scott's joyful spirit never wavered. He was always playful and full of energy when spending time with his grandchildren Mason, Trinity, Kylee (Thomas), Jeremiah, Alexia, Bentley, Kade, Boston, Gage, Hudson, Parker, Harmony, and great-grandchildren Sariah, and Weston, who were the pride and joy of his life. His sense of humor and love for fun made him a cherished presence in their lives.

He also leaves behind his mother-in-law Connie Lou Sherman, his siblings; Tom (Carol), Frank (Suzie), Janene, Lilly, and countless other in-laws, nieces, nephews, and extended family. 

Scott was a social person at heart. He'd call it the gift of gab. He was able to strike up a conversation anywhere and often ran into familiar faces no matter where he went. His ability to connect with people left a lasting impact on all who knew him, and he will be deeply missed.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, September 20, 2024 at Lindquist’s Roy Mortuary, 3333 West 5600 South. The family will meet with friends on Friday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the mortuary. 

Interment, Hooper Cemetery.
