Eddie W. Scott, 60, of Calamus passed away unexpectedly Monday, March 8, 2021. Funeral services were held at 10 a.m. Friday (March 12) at the Runge Mortuary & Crematory. Visitation was 4-7 p.m. Thursday at the mortuary. Memorials may be made to the Calamus Fire Dept. and/or the Wheatland Fire & Rescue. Online condolences may be shared at www.rungemortuary.com.
Eddie was born Oct. 22, 1960, in Davenport to Noel and Donna Scott. On June 14, 1991, he made a commitment to his love for the last 30 years Janet Donelson. Eddie was retired from the former ALCOA where he had been a machine operator and served as a United Steel Workers Union committee man.
To say Eddie was an outdoorsman was an understatement. He loved hunting, fishing, tending to his huge garden, and mushroom hunting. He enjoyed doing small engine repairs, NASCAR, John Wayne, and was always willing to help others. His day was not complete without a BV & 7 night cap.
Survivors include wife Janet Donelson, Calamus; daughters Linda (Wade) Hamann and Denise Dale, both of Eldridge; grandchildren Maile Satterly and Maddy Dale of Eldridge; two great-grandchildren Hayes and Warren Frick; brother Nolan Scott, Blue Grass; and a niece, Tanya Scott.
Eddie was preceded in death by his parents, a sister Renae, and a grandson Jarin.
