Scott Wayne Gauntt

Scott Wayne Gauntt, 57, of Fort Gibson was born October 23, 1961 in Muskogee to Fred and Carol (Lentz) Gauntt and peacefully passed away Monday, June 17, 2019 with his loving family by his side. Scott received his formal education at Fort Gibson Public Schools, where he met and later married the love of his life, Kelly McGuire on September 25, 1981 in Fort Gibson. Scott grew up working at the Fort Gibson Sale Barn, which his family owned, with his brothers and sister. They would spend their weekends unloading trailers of livestock which had to be checked in and tagged prior to sale, all for $5 a day. After graduation he worked many construction jobs from building houses to working on the big stack at OG&E, then to Tubular Corporation where he later went to work for nearly 20 years. He later went to work at Woodworthy Cabinets Shop where he designed kitchen cabinets. But his time as an Aviation Technician for Davis Field Aviation was his true calling. He took pride in everything he did from working with wood and barn metal to building instrument panels for airplanes. He had a love for OU Football, especially with his lifelong best friend Mark Brawley, Nascar and any type of competitive racing spilling into becoming a competitor himself at Thunderbird Speedway. Scott enjoyed spending time at home working on his homestead, but always found time to go fishing, shooting pool with friends, listening to music and spending time with the grandkids. Scott had the best laugh and could light up the room with his personality. His legacy of love for his family and always doing the right thing will live on through his boys. He was preceded in death by his parents Fred and Carol Gauntt; brother, Freddy Gauntt; niece, Crystal Gauntt; and brother in law, James Staton.
