Scott E. Giese, age 66, of Fond du Lac, passed away on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, at Barrett House in Markesan.
A Celebration of Life will be held for Scott’s family at a later date.
Scott was one of eight children of Marvin and Marian (nee Schellpfeffer) Giese. He graduated from Mayville High School. Scott entered the United States Air Force serving in California, Michigan, and Shemya Island in the Aleutian Island of Alaska.
Scott drove for Batzler Trucking for many years. He enjoyed riding his Harley. Scott loved spending time at “the farm”. His true love was dance. Scott was a pillar in the larger Midwest dance community. His leadership skills and instruction in West Coast Swing, Nightclub, Two Step, Chacha, Waltz, and a host of others will greatly be missed.
Scott’s memory lives on through family and friends. He leaves behind siblings: Terry (Shelley) Giese, Rita (Fred) Nickel, John (Laurie) Giese, W. Jay Giese, and Lorna (Bill) Gensch; and his sister-in-law Kay Giese. He is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
Scott was preceded in death by his parents and his two brothers Richard and Jeff.
A special thank you to the staff of Barrett House in Markesan and Generations Hospice.

When Scott started to have some medical issues I tried to call him or communicate with him weekly. I was stationed at Wurtsmith AFB with Scott also. When he got his orders to Alaska,I too got orders to Shemya about 3 months later. Scott was happy,I wasn't....haha We roomed together there and since we spent time at Wurtsmith, made the little remote island bearable. Detroit had the fab 5, we had the fab 5 at Wurtsmith..myself, Scott ,Barry Torhan, James(Red) Goetz. (deceased) and Brad Johnston,also from Wisconsin. We kept in touch throughout the years,with Scott actually tracking down Barry. I remember the call from Scott..I found him!!! Which led to the old crew getting together and keeping in touch. Scott stood up in my wedding..36 years ago....seems like yesterday. Scott taught me how to drive a bulldozer on Shemya,and a big snowplow out there too. He could drive anything,very skilled. Scott was a good friend,someone you could rely on,he was family...he will be missed..say hi to Red from the gang...A,

Scott was a wonderful employee with Batzler Trucking Inc. and we enjoyed having him for as long as he served. He was hard working and always so dependable. I enjoyed our many conversations over the years. He loved to talk about dance and his cats with me. He will be greatly missed here and truck #40 will always remain his. May he rest in peace with our Lord & Savior.

With Scott being 10 years younger than me my memories are vague. I do fondly remember some of the Giese family reunions at Theresa Legion Park. May our Lord and Savior comfort the family members and friends in their time of grieving. Live on the good memories. Blessings!
