Scott Andrew Witte

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Scott Andrew Witte, age 45 of Visalia, California on Feb 9th, 2023. Scott was born on June 4th, 1977, in Faribault, Minnesota to the parents of Dale and Sandra Witte. Scott loved living in Minnesota, he had shared in the past his fond memories of family members and a family farm. Scott loved talking to his great Uncle Harold about the Witte family farm.

Scott graduated from Mt. Whitney High School. Scott attended COS where he focused on automotive repairs. He was a gifted auto technician and had many ASE Certifications. He loved watching car races, attended the Long Beach Grand Prix and many NHRA drag races. Scott loved music (especially metal), history, cars, and his biggest love of all…Miss Kaia.

Scott & Music, Scott was an amazing drummer. He loved music beginning with Iron Maiden, Rush, Metallica, Mudvayne, the list goes on and on. He attended numerous concerts. Scott played in numerous local bands as the drummer, he was nothing short of a truly awesome drummer. He played in gigs as far north as Redding, CA all the way to Hollywood. He dabbled at home playing guitar. He would try to teach his daughter how to play his electric drums (to keep the noise down). Scott bought a beginner's drum set for his daughter to practice on in the garage.

Scott was a father. A great father at that. He loved his daughter fiercely. She had him wrapped around her finger and he knew it. He did anything and everything he could for her. Scott was a great friend, a hard worker, loving dad, a brother, and a loving son. His passing was not expected at all. He had more life to live, but God called him home early. He’s now an Angel watching over us. We just wish Heaven wasn’t so far away.

Scott was preceded in death by Grandparents Robert Barrett, Ralph and Evelyn Witte, Uncle Neil Barrett.
