Scott Alan Gesse, 54, of Fort Wayne, Ind., passed away Monday, Nov. 30, 2020, at his brother’s home in La Porte, Ind.
He was born March 16, 1966, in La Porte, the son of Walter L. and Charlotte (Reed) Gesse.
Scott was an outgoing man who loved sports, particularly the Cubs. He enjoyed going to casinos and trying his luck at various games. A partial owner of a storage facility in Fort Wayne, Scott spent much of his time going through the abandoned storage lockers searching for treasures, especially scrap metals, and cleaning them up for the next renter. He also enjoyed auctioning and volunteered as a clerk at auctions. Scott would ride his lawnmower for hours, smoking his cigar and thinking about life.
He is survived by his four brothers, Tim (Chris) Gesse of La Porte, Rick (Kathy) Gesse of La Porte, his best friend Todd Gesse of La Porte and and Tabb Gesse of La Porte; seven nieces and nephews; and many friends from Fort Wayne.
Scott was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Darla L. Guthrie.
The family will hold a private interment at Pine Lake Cemetery, La Porte. Haverstock Funeral Home and Cremation Services, La Porte, is handling arrangements.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Social and Learning Institute, 201 E Garfield St., Michigan City, Ind. 46360; or VNA Hospice, 803 Washington St., La Porte, Ind. 46350.
