Shan Stott

Shan Leonard Stott

March 2, 1938 ~ January 21, 2018

Shan Leonard Stott, our beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather, husband and friend entered Heavenly Fathers arms on Sunday, January 21, 2018, at the age of 79.

Shan, the youngest of four children, was born on March 2, 1938 to Leonard and Leone (Adams) Stott in Layton, UT. He loved Layton City, and it remained his lifelong home. He graduated from Davis High School while working at the local cannery, and later spent many years as a mechanic and Service Advisor for the local Cadillac/GMC dealership where he made many endearing friendships. He was also a volunteer firefighter for Layton City for many years. Working hard was always in his blood, and he was a believer that “you make your own luck”.

He was a faithful and active member of the LDS church where he loved to serve. In addition to his faith, he was a talented craftsman who could build or fix just about anything, wood or metal. He was also an avid sportsman and outdoorsman who loved horses, hunting, fishing, boating, 4-wheeling (jeeps and his beloved 74 GMC pickup truck), along with airplanes and shooting sports.  He placed nationally in many pistol and rifle shooting events and you could often hear him brag about hustling the local kids who didn’t believe he could shoot a penny out of the air- He could!

He is survived by his loving wife, Sandra Rogers Stott; his sister, Wanda Shumway; and nine children, Shan “Eddy” (Sandy), Larry, Jerry (Angenette), Donald (Leonie), Debora Stone, Matt (Lisa), Todd (Darcee), Christal Smith (Paul), Mitch (Jessica); multiple grandchildren, and many great-grandchildren which he loved and cherished.

Shan was preceded in death by his parents, Leonard and Leone Stott, and brothers Eldon and Dean Stott.

Fish and hunt in paradise with no more pain; we will miss you dearly Dad!
