Scott was born December 4, 1963 to Robert and Elizabeth J. Griffin in Valley City, ND where he was raised. Scott graduated from Valley City High School in 1982.

Scott had so many talents, but he was especially passionate about music. He was a gifted musician and loved both singing and playing piano.

He loved life, and his family and friends made his life full. Because of his personality, he was easy to love.
