Scott Frederick Koll

Scott KollApril 18, 1964-July 21, 2023 Scott was born in Mankato, MN to parents Bill and Grace Frederick Koll. He was the second of 4 sons. At the age of 6 they moved to Maplewood, MN where he spent the rest of his childhood. Life in the Koll family centered around sports. Scott was a natural athlete participating in football, baseball and hockey. He graduated from Kellogg High School in 1982 along with a large circle of friends. They remained a tight knit group well after graduation playing softball, golfing, taking spontaneous trips and specializing in general fun. In 1988 he met Melisa at a wedding in Winona, MN. They would marry in 1992 and make the White Bear Lake area their home. They welcomed 3 children, Connor, Cassie and Anikka into their family. Although they divorced in 2011 they continued to have a special bond and friendship. Melisa remained his biggest supporter, advocate and cheerleader. Above all else, the most important thing in Scott's life was his children. He was so proud of them and loved to share their accomplishments with anyone willing to listen. His kids brought out his child-like spirit and Scott was often leading the pleas for one more game, one more ride, one more night at the waterpark, in attempts to squeeze out every last second of fun possible. He found joy in the joy of his children. Although in recent years alcoholism had the upper hand in his life, his love for Connor, Cassie and Anikka never wavered. Scott could often be found helping others, whether it be family, friends, neighbors or strangers. He was a kind hearted man who enjoyed the simple things. He did not need much, preferring to ensure others were taken care of before himself. He spent time volunteering at the local food shelf, was always ready to clear a neighbors driveway and used his handy abilities to help with odd jobs. He enjoyed watching all sports, golfing, fishing at Yellow Lake, lunches with his mom and the Mn State Fair. He loved the farmers market, searching for the best deals, classic rock music and proving he was the "Daddio of the Patio". Scott is preceded in death by his father William Koll and Chum Bohr.He is survived by his children Connor, Cassie, Anikka and their mother Melisa Koll. Mother Grace Koll Bohr. Brothers Steve (Lynn), Mark (Jenny) and Chad (Niki). Also survived by loving nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Scott's memorial service will be on Thursday, July 27, 2023.
