Remarkable juggler, entertainer, comedian, author.

Scott was a quiet child who grew into a man who made people laugh for a living. His career was entertaining. At 19, he met his juggling brother Brian Wendling with whom he honed his skills and formed a lifelong friendship. His show grew to include comedy and stand up.

His early experience with osteosarcoma ultimately changed his life and the focus of his career. He developed a passion to help and support cancer survivors and their caretakers and his energetic show highlighted his desire; live life fully in spite of adversity.

Scott loved to write--everything from screenplays to cartoons to many editorials published in the Minneapolis Star Tribune. He self-published a book, "A Life in the Balance," which followed his fight with cancer, using his favorite tool--humor. Scott had an intense faith and love of life, and found grace in all of its beauty and pain. He mourned the loss of connection with his older children, but through much loss, he never stopped making others laugh. The Renaissance Festival introduced Scott & Linda in their teens. Fate brought them together again many years later and gave Scott's 4th "miracle" child Maya.

Scott was ill three months and died from a rare disease amyloidosis.
