Craig Howard Scott, age 52 of Rosemount and formerly of Cannon Falls, died unexpectedly of heart complications on Wednesday evening, February 16, 2011 at the San Jacinto Methodist Hospital in Baytown, Texas while on a racing trip with his son Dustin. Craig was born on August 30, 1958 in Farmington, the son of Howard and Geraldine "Gerri" (Wille) Scott. He married Colleen Lundell on December 10, 1977 at St. Ansgar's Lutheran Church in Cannon Falls. In 1989 Craig founded his own trucking company Cobra Transportation. Considered a mechanical genius, Craig's garage was open 24 hours a day to all. Craig loved racing, riding motorcycles, snowmobiling, farming and spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren Keiser and Isabelle. Although he lived a short life, he did more and experienced more than many people do in 100 years. He was preceded in death by his parents, Howard and Gerri Scott; and father-in-law, Wayne Lundell. He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Colleen; daughter, Jennifer (Marcus) Scott-Derickson and son, Dustin Scott, all of Rosemount; two grandchildren, Keiser and Isabelle Derickson; brother, Kevin (Sallie) Scott of Hampton; sisters, Bonnie Scott-Johnson of Cannon Falls and Sandra (Kevin) Wood of North Branch; mother-in-law, Ione Lundell of Cannon Falls and her family; and nieces, nephews, loving family and friends.
