Tina Frenick says
I was so saddened to hear of the loss of Scotty. Mike often talks of the exploits the friends had together, always ending with a smile. Life brings many challenges upon us, and it always sounded like Scotty managed those challenges with flair and enthusiasm. I had hoped to get to know him better over the coming years, and was blessed to be a part of his life, his children’s, and his grandchildrens. May he find peace now in his heart.
Tony Overstreet says

Thank you again Scotty, for getting me off of Beartooth Pass safely and back to Roberts. Your heart is as wide as the Montana prairie. Ride on, shiny side up!
Condolences to all the families.

Scottie- my brother and friend. I am going to miss the hell out of you and your power-driven life experiences. We have blazed some trails together with lots of laughter and many tears as well. To Scottie’s family and friends I send my deepest condolences and hope your memories of him bring comfort at this time of your loss. Ride on Brother…….
Scott and Wandette Reiner says
So sorry to hear, Gizmo was an awesome guy, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family
Amber Burgess says
Ride on my brother! You had a huge heart and I will never forget you. Let the feathers fly
Mavanee Hoyer says
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families. I know this is a tremendous loss for all. I grew up with Kenneth and he was always one to make everyone smile no matter what kind of day it was. He was an honest hard working guy that was never selfish. He truly will be missed
Wayne Stewart says
Scotty, along with some other nicknames (all of them fitting) can always be described as an absolute true and loyal friend. Having retired from DAC a few years ago, he left impressions on our young guys (and us older guys) strong enough to make them want to work hard, want to learn our craft and respect the trades. His name still comes up often when reminiscing over past projects and all would ask what’s he up to, or where is Gismo these days. I knew Scotty in high school and his personality has never wavered. Outgoing, always willing to help and forever faithful. We will miss the stories, the laughs and the joy only Scotty could create. Will miss you friend!!

With Heartfelt Sympathy to the Garrison Family,

Rob Krause says
My prayers and thoughts to the entire family. Scotty was a good Man and a great Friend! Rest in Peace
Liz Cornish says
I never met Scott face-to-face – only over the phone while helping him with his taxes. Yet during those conversations I felt I was getting to know him. I enjoyed those marathon talks and I loved hearing what Scott was up to. I know we would have had a blast if we had ever met in person – I can tell what a great guy he was. My prayers and thoughts go out to the entire family. May Scott rest in peace.
Lee Peak says
Scotty my brotha, Meet me in the trees!!!! My condolences to the family. May our Extreme Brother Rest in Peace?
Kevin Toney says
Absolutely shocked, what a loss! Scott was our neighbor for quite a few years and a good friend, always helping folks and adding his humor. Tremendous family man, prayers for all the family! Rest In Peace gizmo …
Darlene and Norm Scott says
We are so sad to hear of Scott’s passing. I’m at a loss for words. It just doesn’t seem right that a kid you watched grow up, should pass before his life was fully lived. The thing that I will always remember about Scott is his smile. He didn’t just smile with his mouth. He smiled with his whole face. He was always so jovial and his eyes always twinkled. And of course, who could forget the amount of milk that Scott could get Perky to give him. That ole milk cow was madly in love with him. Your Mom and I used to laugh about that. I’ve only seen Scott a few times in the last few years, but he always met us with that great smile and a huge hug. He will be greatly missed. Norm and I can’t be in Helena for the memorial, but you all know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May your wonderful memories help to carry you through this most difficult time.
