Scott Newby 12/16/2024

Scott Allen Newby, 63, passed away unexpectedly on December 16th, 2024, at his family farm in New Richmond, Wisconsin. He was born on October 2nd, 1961, to Glenn and Sue Newby. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, Scott enjoyed a long and successful career as a commercial airline pilot, including thirty years with Southwest Airlines. Scott also was an avid hunter, a firearms enthusiast and collector, and a farmer, growing corn and soybeans.

Scott was loved and respected by many and well known by few. He was a loyal and honest man with a generous heart and dry wit, who was content with who he was, what he was, and where he was.
Scott is survived by his mother, Sue; siblings Pamela Newby and Jeff Newby; his nieces, Christina Snider (Nickolas), Mya Ennis, and Marley Ennis. In death he joins his father, Glenn.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, June 21, 2025 from 12 pm – 3 pm with a service at 1 pm at the New Richmond Airport 625 W Hanger Road Hanger 11-12 New Richmond, WI (entrance off Wall Street).

    Scott, you were one of a kind, honest, with a unique witty sense of humor, loved life’s experiences, greatest laugh, and was great friend. As you fly through heaven’s clouds my attending the Ft. Worth Stock Show and Rodeo in the future will never be the same again. God bless you and sending my condolences to your family and friends.
