He leaves behind his beloved wife, Mary Jane “Pancho” Edwards; his son, Tyler, and daughter-in-law, Amelia; his daughters, Valen and Dianka; his grandsons, Malcolm and Clark Edwards; his sisters, Cyndy Brauer and Sonja Brauer; as well as many nieces and nephews.

He received his undergraduate degree in geology from the University of Alabama and his master’s degree in environmental engineering from the Air Force Institute of Technology. Scott prided himself on his successful career in government contract work with Northrop Grumman, Booz Allen, and most recently Cherokee Nation Businesses.

Just as notable as his career doing contract work was his career as a football official. He worked his way up from officiating high school games to working in the MEAC, ACC, NFL Europe, and spent 23 years as a field judge and side judge (#3) in the NFL. He worked multiple playoff and championship games, and worked Super Bowls 50 and 52 during his time in the NFL.

Scott’s greatest joy was living in Blanco, where he spent the past 14 years on 3E Longhorn Ranch, a place he built from the ground up. He was heavily involved in the Blanco ISD school board and the Blanco Education Foundation. He loved the Texas Hill Country, football, playing golf, hunting, working on the ranch, and most importantly, he loved being with his family.

A celebration of Scott’s life will be held at a location and date to be determined. Donations can be made in Scott’s name to the Blanco Education Foundation at blancoeducationfoundation. com or to MD Anderson at MDAnderson.org.
