Scott Allen Mueller was born on January 29, 1960 to Harold (Chuck) and Beverly (Jones) Mueller in Huron, SD.  Scott grew up on a farm outside of Hitchcock.  He graduated from Hitchcock High School in 1978 where he played football.  After high school he attended Watertown Vo-tech for a short time.

As a young adult, Scott built grain bins, and drove truck before his career as a federal meat inspector.  Upon retirement from this job, Scott helped farm and drive semis for several local farmers until his death, most recently for VanBuskirk Farms.

Prior to Scott's marriage, a daughter Leslie was born.  He married Brenda Chapman in December 1981 in Huron.  During their marriage they were blessed with three daughters, Jessica, Jacquelyn, and Janelle (Nelly).  Scott and Brenda divorced in 2014. During their marriage they raised their family on the Mueller family farm with his parents living across the road.

In his free time you would find Scott gardening, cooking, farming, riding his Harley, bragging about his grandkids, and making people laugh.

Scott is survived by sister Kandice (Rick) Boomsma of Hitchcock; his daughters, Leslie (Brian Peterson) Newquist of Aurora CO, Jessica (Kasey) Kirkham of Brookings, Jacque Mueller, and Nelly (Scotty Cunningham) Mueller of Huron.   Six grandchildren: Julian & Desmond Peterson of Aurora CO, Kolby & Kaleb Kirkham of Brookings, Teagan Mueller of Huron, and Cash Cunningham of Bedford IN.  He is also survived by his niece Jennifer (JoJo) Boomsma-Kelsey, nephews Jeff (Tracy) Boomsma, and Tim Boomsma.

He was also survived by great nephews, great nieces, and many cousins.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Chuck & Bev Mueller, his brother Tom, several aunts, uncles, cousins, and his best friend, Lance Peterson.
