On November 6, 2020 our Lord and Savior called one of his Angels, Conrad Wayne Scott, back to Paradise. Conrad was born to Melvin (Dennis) Scott Jr. and Marilyn Martell on March 29, 1974. Since the age of 2, he was raised by his paternal grandmother, Artie CrazyBull until he became of age.
Conrad attended Poplar Schools and Graduated in May of 1992. While in school, he participated in cross country, football and track and field. He was a devoted catholic and served as an altar boy for the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Poplar, Montana. While growing up, his grandmother taught him his traditional ways while also learning to stitch star quilts and bead to name a couple.
In August 1992, he joined the United States Marine Corps and after graduating Basic Training from Camp Pendleton, he was stationed in Okinawa Japan then to Australia for six months only to return back to Japan. After returning back to stateside, he was stationed in North Carolina till he was discharged. He then attended and studied at the Fort Peck Community College. In November of 2016, he married Amanda Olson. That bond grew to include Amanda’s children Murraya, Shanice, Alline and Markie whom he loved as his own. He was a kind and loving partner to his spouse, as well as an amazing father.
Some of Conrad’s many employments include working with the Fort Peck Community College Daycare and the Poplar Summer Food Program with his adopted sister Mary Plante. At the Fort Peck Housing Authority, he served as the Chairman of the Housing Commission. He volunteered for the Poplar Community Organization where he served as Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer. He would also help the various Powwow committees where ever help was needed, especially being their bingo caller. He was an active member of the Poplar Indian Days Committee as well. While working for the Fort Peck Tribes, he worked for the Diabetes Program as an Outreach Tech and most recently as the Community Service Elders Program Coordinator, where he spent long hours with our reservations elders. He would always refer to them as his elders.
Conrad enjoyed going to bingo, playing machines, visiting family and friends and listening to music. But most of all, he enjoyed helping out wherever help was needed.
