Scott Willard Gay, 59, Moose Lake, died Friday, March 10, 2023 in Essentia – St. Mary's Medical Center in Duluth while surrounded by his family.  He was born on February 16, 1964 in St. Paul, MN.  Scott grew up and attended school in Moose Lake and later attended St. Cloud State University, graduating with a degree in Finance.  Scott began his real estate career in Cloquet and eventually owned East West Realty in Moose Lake for over 30 years.  He was an avid outdoorsman, hunter, and golfer.  His first trip to Alaska at 28 opened his eyes to halibut and salmon fishing and the natural beauty of the area.  He returned often to share the experience with Kendra and Michelle.  One of his favorite pastimes was fishing in Jim Creek.

Scott was preceded in death by his parents, Kenneth "KC" and Kathleen "Bunnie" Gay.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Michelle; daughter, Kendra; and his dogs: Hunter and Bill.  Scott is also survived by his siblings: Michael (Monica); Jennifer (Guy); and James (Kristi); along with aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

A Memorial Visitation will be from 1:00 PM until the 2:00 PM Celebration of Life on Sunday, March 19, 2023 in Hope Lutheran Church, Moose Lake.
