Our husband, father, and grandfather passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family on November 6, 2022.
Scott was born in Provo, Utah on June 6, 1955, to Robert Neil and LouCille Turner Carlisle. He married Cherie Lynn Maxwell on August 4, 1976, in the Salt Lake City Utah LDS Temple. He is survived by his wife Cherie Lynn Carlisle, daughter Christy Ann (Devon) Dorrity, of Morgan, UT; son Jeremy Scott (Dannielle) Carlisle, of Spartanburg, SC; daughter Hannah (Greg) Hoggan, of Salt Lake City, UT; and his grandchildren, Ethon Owen (Casey) Dorrity, Jaden Scott Dorrity, Ander William Dorrity, Amberlee Elizabeth Dorrity, Logan Thomas Dorrity and Adeline Hunter Smith. Scott is also survived by siblings Robert Jay, Cindy, Ted Neil, Cathy, and Jack. Scott is preceded in death by his parents, Neil and LouCille Carlisle.
Scott spent his early years in American Fork and Alpine, Utah, where he loved to hike, hunt, camp, and ride horses in the surrounding mountains. He had many adventures with friends and family on North Mountain and Box Elder Peak. He served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Chicago, Illinois, then married his sweetheart, Cherie Maxwell. He served in many church callings, including the high council, elder’s quorum, trek committee, Sunday school, and scouting. Together, Scott and Cherie served as ordinance workers in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple.
Scott was a hard worker. He possessed the rare combination of creative vision and the determination to bring that vision to life. Scott loved building new and restoring the old. He restored one of his ancestor’s homes in Alpine, Utah. He helped his parents restore the Carlisle Ranch in Freedom, Wyoming. He later purchased the beautiful Star Valley Trout Ranch in Idaho where he remodeled and expanded the Lodge, built several guest log cabins, added a commercial kitchen and dining room, and built a separate home. Scott and Cherie attended the Cook Street School of Culinary Arts in Colorado, France, and Italy, where Scott excelled in creating entrées and baking artisan bread. Scott and Cherie later designed menus for the restaurant they built at their resort where Scott served as Executive Chef. Scott most recently built a greenhouse and large garden near their home.
Scott had respect for animals and admired the beauties of the natural world. He ran a dairy farm, raised Clydesdale horses for show, ran a commercial fish hatchery, stocked private ponds with trout, bred sheep for show, and had many loyal dogs. As part of his focus on developing the Star Valley Trout Ranch Resort, Scott planted a wide variety of trees, which he loved, excavated earthen ponds, and beautified the landscape flowing from the natural spring.
Scott loved his family deeply and everything he built or accomplished he did for them. Scott felt strongly about emergency preparedness and worked diligently to guard his family against possible disasters. Scott loved visiting with his family and friends and could often be found cooking for them, telling tall tales, and reciting cowboy poetry.
