Thank you.
Scott is survived by his wife, Luana; two children, Kyla Karger and Tristen Goltz; parents, Sidney and Juneal Goltz; brothers, Randy (Michelle) Goltz, Travis (Erica) Goltz; and by many other relatives and friends. Full obituary pending.
I am so sorry to hear of your sudden loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time of mourning.
They say; ‘only the good die young.’ Now I believe it. Scotty boy, you were a true talent. Loved every minute we spent together oh so long ago. See you on the other side my friend.
When we moved to St. Francis on Zion Parkway, Scott came over and lifted me up, swung me around and said, “Welcome to the neighborhood!” He helped us move from our loghome in Walker, MN with our son, CJ and also bought our pool table. He was always extremely kind to us, loved us and was a man who showed the love of Jesus, without reservation! My husband was fortunate enough to be included on fishing trips to Canada with Scott and CJ and again, Scott illuminated “love and kindness” to him, in addition to being very funny.
There are some people who we are graced to know, that God created to show His love, without Bible verses, but in reality, lived out Bible verses. Don’t misunderstand me, Bible verses are the Living Word of God and are powerful and alive and sharper than any two edge sword. But once in a great while, we meet someone who loves, lives, forgives and encourages others to love and forgive and then leaves it in God’s hands. This was Scott!
In Isaiah 57: 1 “devout men are taken away, and no one understands” and in Deuteronomy 29:29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever.” These Bible verses reassure us that we may not understand why God decided to take Scott to heaven, some things God keeps to Himself. But one thing we can be reassured of, that Scott for all who knew him, he impacted our lives with love, kindness, no condemnation and strived for unity in families. We feel blessed that our son, CJ and daughter-in-law, Heather were blessed to know such a wonderful man and friend and our grandchildren to be impacted by his love.
Our prayers go out to Lu and all the family and friends, Scott will be dearly missed, but never forgotten. Again, we are so, so sorry! Love you, Carvin and debbie
Prayers to the Goltz family at this difficult time! Scott was a great guy!! Taken way too young!

One of the greatest… truly someone I admired, learned from and always had fun with both on and off the field. Gonna miss you Scottie. Thought and prayers for all of you.
Scott, you were one of a kind. Not a day will go by that we won’t miss your smile, charm and spirit in St. Paul. I had long respected you as a leader, admired your dedication to work and family and appreciated your partnership as we worked on projects. I wish that I would have also taken the opportunity to tell you was how much I appreciated your friendship. Rest In Peace Goldzie
Cindy and I are so sorry for your loss Lu and family. Scott was way to young to be taken away. I always enjoyed working with Scott and his brothers Randy and Travis on many great real estate deals. Always enjoyable. And the years of softball against him was a blast. We send our prayers to the Goltz family from the Steinmetz family.
Best of the best you will be truly missed
To the entire Goltz family I send my deepest condolences during the celebration of a truly amazing and very much respected man. Scott touched so many people and we are all blessed to have spent precious time with him. Unfortunately I am unable to make the service however know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
We didn’t know him very well, but enough to know he was wonderful, kind and friendly to everyone!
Lu, you are in our minds and prayers every single day. We love you!
XOXOXO
Hugs from Colorado
I am so sorry for your loss. Our kids aren’t suppose to go before us. I remember all the fun times we had back in the day at East Bethel. When did life get so serious and so hard. I guess about the time Erling and Chad died. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Sending our love to all of you.
My prayers are with Lu, the children, and the rest of Scot’s family. He was a wonderful person and will truly be missed by all of us .
Scott made an impact on paving the future of our boys by coaching SFJH football 🏈.
Our family is deeply touched by your loss May the Lord give you peace beyond comprehension.
Prayers and love to the Goltz family . My heart is hurting for you all. Hard to know what to say when a family has lost someone so special. I love you guys. God bless all of you.
Scott was not only a man of integrity, but honesty & class were also words used to describe him. Those of us lucky enough to have known him & call him a friend were the real fortunate ones. Prayers & sympathy to his family & friends during this time of loss but please remember that Scott wouldn’t want you to dwell on his death. He would rather have you remember his life!
Lu, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Though I never had the pleasure of meeting Scott, from what I’ve read on this guestbook and heard from others he seemed like an amazing guy who touched many lives! I can’t imagine what you are going through, but please know we are thinking about you and will continue to pray for you and your family during this difficult time.
Lu and Family – While we have only known Scott for a short time, it was easy to see what a great guy he was. always fun, always positive and always with a big smile on his face. Our thoughts, hearts and prayers are with you…
Goltz family we are deeply saddened by the loss of such a great guy. Scott was a genuine person, he always had a smile on his face. I remember numerous basketball board meeting I would be frustrated and sometimes with him, but he would never leave the meeting without making sure I was okay. He always went out of his way to talk to us and our boys. He has left a lifetime impact on each and every one of us. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
My words can not be put in writing the pain your family is going through. God has chosen another leader to help him with his tasks. His footprint on earth and on our hearts will live forever. My deepest sympathy from my family to yours. The Goltz’s have always been a wonderful support team through out our adventurers as young men. They treated us all like we were one of the family. We all hope and strive to have that same passion that you have shown to all of us.
“There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved” George Sand
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I have fond memories of Scott when he would pick up Tristen from daycare years ago. He was such a nice guy.
The “Waiter Rule” refers to the common belief that one’s true character can be gleaned from how one treats staff or service workers. I had the honor of being Scott’s assistant, and I cannot begin to tell you in words how wonderful this man was. He treated every single person he met with dignity, respect and kindness. From janitors and secretaries, to executives and mayors, each person was as important as the next in his eyes. He had no notes or special spreadsheets to remember names, he just remembered them. Always. I’ve had other assistants ask me, “What’s it like to work for Scott Goltz?” {insert dreamy look}. It was amazing. We all remember him for his larger-than-life positive personality and the way he just made you feel “special.” He was like that ALL-OF-THE-TIME, 24/7, in front of people and behind closed doors. That’s who he truly was.
Mr. Goltz – Thank you for choosing me. I look forward to seeing you again in Heaven, where you’re reconstructing it and showing God himself how to make it even better (and you will). Don’t you dare let anyone else sit in that little desk next to yours.
Love, Lacey
I am very sorry to Lu and your family. I always thought it was so cool how lu would always be there supporting Scott and his teams. Many many times I would be at first base and Scotty and I would have conversations. He Always was genuine and jovial.
The way I will choose to remember Scott is with a smile he always had on his face. God Speed..
Lu, my heart breaks for you and the children. From what is written here Scott was loved by many and will be greatly missed. You and your family are in our prayers and we pray that God blesses you with the Peace that surpasses all understanding and that you are surrounded and held up by His love.
I MET SCOTT APPROXIMATELY NINE MONTHS AGO AT THE DEGREE OF HONOR BUILDING, AND DURING THE TIMES WE WOULD CROSS PATHS AND CHAT, I’VE GOT TO TELL YOU THAT SCOTT WAS THE KIND OD MAN THAT EVERYBODY WOULD LOVE TO KNOW! MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY, MAY HIS BEAUTIFUL SOUL FOREVER REST IN PEACE IN HEAVEN!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Scott on his many projects @ the US Bank Building in downtown St. Paul. He got things done! He will be truly missed by everyone in this building. He already is!! My heart goes out to his family, he shared his many “at home” projects with me, the beautiful pergola he built, he was so excited to share pictures of this project. He will be missed in this building for sure. Prayers. Kelly Wilke, US Bank Corporate Real Estate.
Oh Scottie-
We will sure miss seeing you and having you around, who else would jump up on our roof and clean out our gutters, or help hang birdhouses, or shovel and plow us out, or just have a quick chat out in the driveway. We’ll miss seeing you up and down the street on your red golf cart. You’re a great guy and wonderful neighbor. We love you Lu, take care of yourself.
I want to send my deepest condolences to Luana and the entire Goltz family.
There are no words that will take away your pain, let memories help you through your dark times.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss…
Luana and family,
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.
Scott welcomed us into your home like we were family. We always looked forward to our annual vacations back to Minnesota and spending time with you guys was always part of this.
We will miss Scott’s cheerful greetings, but he will always be in our memories.
RIP Scott

We were able to catch up after not seeing him in a few years and it was like we’ve been hanging out regularly. Scott was such an awesome person and he is going to be missed. Prayers to you and your children as well as the rest of the family. He will be missed. RIP Scottie!
