Dr. Scott was reunited with his loving wife on her birthday, January 21, 2016.
Born on January 28, 1931 and raised on his family's farm in Murchison, Texas the son of descendants of Scottish immigrants, Seth Grant Scott and Winifred Echols Scott. Dr. Daniel Scott graduated from Texas A&M University with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1954. Upon graduation, Dr. Scott was commissioned as a first lieutenant in the US Air Force. He served in its Veterinary Corps for two years and was promoted to captain.
In 1957, Dr. Scott began practicing veterinary medicine in Tyler, Texas with Dr. Justin Pinkerton. In the fall of that year, he entered the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. While studying human medicine, he continued to practice veterinary medicine during summers and holidays. He graduated in the top 5% of his class in 1961.
After completing a two-year internship in Salt Lake City, Utah, Dr. Scott returned to Dallas, where he completed a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology as well as a fellowship in maternal fetal medicine at Parkland Hospital. He joined the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School faculty as an assistant professor in 1966, and was appointed chair of the OB/GYN department and director of residents at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas in 1978. He was elected president of the Texas Perinatal Society in 1982. The trustees of Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas honored Dr. Scott with a distinguished professorship in OB/GYN in 1998. In 2014, Dr. Scott was awarded the Outstanding Alumni Award from Texas A&M University Veterinary Medicine School.
In 1973, Dr. Scott began to realize his vision and life-long dream of breeding and raising Pinzgauer cattle and later serving multiple terms as President of the America Pinzgauer Association. He had much success with these maroon and white cattle while raising many national champions. His ranch is still home to his beloved Pinzgauer cattle. Dr. Scott was the first Pinzgauer breeder to import fullblood polled Pinzgaur Cattle into the United States from Calgary, Canada.
After practicing human medicine for 20 years, Dr. Scott retired in 1998 to his Red Oak Ranch to devote his time to cattle ranching with his wife of 56 years, Pat. Dan was also an avid golfer. In fact, many family vacations were planned around golf tournaments across the country. His favorite destination was Scotland where he played Glen Eagles and the St. Andrews Old Course. He was a loving father and grandfather who enjoyed spending countless hours with his grandchildren. His "greatest blessings" are their three daughters, Debbie, Pam, and Holly and their five grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his parents, his loving wife Patsy Alford Scott, one brother Harold Scott and two sisters, Hortense Vogel and Norine Farber.
Dr. Daniel Scott is survived by his three daughters, Debbie Lane of Dallas, Pam Shown and husband Bill of San Antonio, Holly Francois and husband Lee of Murchison; granddaughters, Jordan Pounds and husband Trevor, Taylor Bolen and husband Ross, Cody Shown, Sydney Roland and grandson Will Shown.
The Scott family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the Arabella family for their outstanding love and care of their father.
