Scott lived with an adventurous spirit and embraced every moment, always finding joy in nature and in the people around him. Scott Sager, 54, passed away on October 30, 2025, at the Reforestation Camp, doing what he loved most—being outdoors.

Born in Green Bay in 1971 to Tom and Sharon Sager, Scott immediately made his older brother Keith a proud big brother. The two shared a deep, lifelong bond, one built on adventure, laughter, and the kind of closeness found only between brothers.

Scott grew up immersed in the outdoors, grateful for his Wisconsin roots. From an early age, his parents and grandparents taught him to fish, hunt, and handle a boat, and he spent every season outside. Summer meant long days on the water, winter brought skiing, and any free moment became an opportunity to explore. Weekends were often dedicated to family outings, either on the lake or on ski trips up north, and winter breaks frequently involved loading up the van for adventures in Colorado. Scott's love for adventure was shared with his friend Dave, who joined the family on several of these trips. The boys also bonded over biking and skateboarding, spending countless hours riding together.

At 19, Scott moved to Colorado to pursue snowboarding and attend the Colorado Institute of Art. He lived with Keith and friends near Lake Dillon and, after earning his degree, worked as an art director, graphic designer, and illustrator in the printing industry. Eventually, he traded his desk for hands-on creative work in a primitive bronze foundry, mentored by John Scott. Over 25 years, John became family, and the two bonded deeply over art and the outdoors.

Music was another passion that shaped Scott's life. As a teenager, he played guitar in a band and later worked in a music venue, where he met his forever friend Tommy. Scott extended his love for music by designing a successful Denver music venue. Working the night life allowed him to continue his mountain expeditions during the day.

Scott's life changed joyfully when he met his spouse, Jackie. They shared 20 wonderful years together, building a life rooted in exploration, creativity, and love. They began their life together in a log cabin in Colorado, a place filled with warmth, stories, and memories.

Leaving the nightlife behind, Scott returned to the mountains and began an 18-year career as a snowcat operator at Loveland Ski Area. He convinced his best friend Tommy to join him, and the pair spent winters working hard and summers riding dirt bikes and exploring trails.

Summers also meant travel for Scott and Jackie. They visited family in Oregon and Wisconsin, and Scott adored watching his nieces, Finley and Naomi, grow. After purchasing a sailboat from Keith and Erin, Scott and Jackie toured the world by water, including a five-month journey by RV and sailboat with their dogs, Hershey and Butter. Their travels took them through the Rocky Mountains, along the California coast, deep out in the Pacific, and back to Wisconsin to say goodbye to Scott's grandmother, Berniece Lang.

One memory of Berniece that Scott knew well and so did every member of the Lang family is her strict rule: do not wear shoes in her house! The Langs have always had a lighthearted, spirited energy and Scott loved being part of that dynamic. He and his Uncle Howard shared a similar sense of humor, and the two were perfectly in sync when it came to trading jokes and keeping the family laughing. Scott had a gift for reaching people's hearts through humor, knowing just what to say to brighten your day or lift your spirits.

Throughout the 14 years Scott and Jackie spent together in Colorado, Scott formed a wonderful bond with Jackie's family, celebrating holidays, birthdays, and weekend dinners. One of his most treasured memories was helping fulfill a bucket-list wish for Jackie's grandmother, Peggy: taking her on a snowcat ride to the top of the Continental Divide to watch the sunrise. Scott was always willing to go out of his way to create unforgettable moments for the people he loved, turning ordinary experiences into something truly special.

In 2019, Scott, Jackie, and their labrador Maple returned to Wisconsin to be close to family. Settling in a small town north of Green Bay, Scott embraced a quieter life and rekindled his love for painting. He collaborated with the town to create a beautiful snowy owl mural, inspired by the landscapes he admired.

During the cold Wisconsin winters, Scott and Jackie escaped to Arizona, where they fell in love with mountain biking and the thrill of exploring new trails. Their adventures were often guided by Scott's lifelong friend, Dave. He introduced them to McDowell Mountain Park, a place that quickly became their favorite biking destination.

Scott cherished time with his parents, Tom and Sharon, sharing laughs, adventures, and bike rides. He was deeply grateful for the extra time he was able to spend with them, knowing just how precious those moments were.

Scott will be remembered for his adventuresome heart, his generosity, and his compassion. He had a gift for making others feel valued, and his humor and bright smile could transform any day. He was loved by many and will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Scott was preceded in death by Art Sager, Rachel Sager, Howard Lang, Berniece Lang, Marilyn Lang and John Scott. He is survived by his parents, Tom Sager and Sharon Sager; his brother, Keith Sager; sister-in-law, Erin Sager; his nieces, Finley Sager and Naomi Sager; his uncle Howard Lang; and his spouse, Jackie Steeples.
