Scot Jon Marone, the son of Ronald Marone and DeMeris (Smith) Marone, was born on Oct. 6, 1965, in Huron. Scot grew up on the family farm near Cavour and graduated from Huron High School in 1985.

Scot has been in the trucking industry since 1986. Scot’s first commercial truck driving job was with Flannery Meats. Scot had experience driving truck on the farm plus working at South Dakota Wheat Growers as Assistant Grain Manager. Scot then went on to starting his own trucking company, Marone Transport, LLC. Scot was one of the first carriers to haul out of the Dakota Provisions Turkey Packing Plant in Huron, to several destinations across the United States. Scot’s main delivery was to Laredo, Texas with backhauls of produce from the Texas Rio Grand Valley back to South Dakota.

Scot was the founder/owner of 18 Wheel Truck Promotions, LLC which has produced for the past 21 years the Wheel Jam Truck Show along with an amazing Wheel Jam Truck Show Crew of life-long friends and volunteers.

One of Scot’s passions was farming. Scot enjoyed all aspects of agriculture from planting to harvesting to marketing.

Scot was a hard worker but enjoyed attending 21 ZZ Top concerts mostly with his fiancée Tracy. Also, snowmobiling and spending time with his son Tanner in the Black Hills and Albany Lodge. Scot was very proud of his son, Tanner.

Scot was honest, kind, strong, respectful, a man of his word. A person could feel that in his handshake. He loved BIG, hugged BIG, his heart would hurt and celebrate BIG, he was proud BIG because his heart was SO BIG. If you were Scot’s friend or family, you understood just how “BIG” he loved and respected you. Scot would fight and stand up for you — if you earned and deserved all of the above from him.

Grateful for having shared in Scot’s life are parents: DeMeris Marone of Isabel, and Ronald (Lorraine) Marone of Cavour. One son, Tanner (Delaney Kouf) Marone of Huron. Fiancée Tracy Bratland Bruns of Huron. Their special cat companion Sylvester Stallone Marone. Siblings are: Dave (Jody) Marone of Pukwana, Kristi (David) Alley of Isabel, and Tenaya Marone of Crofton, Neb. Also, very dear to Scot’s heart were all his nieces and nephews.

Scot was preceded in death by his brothers Rickey Marone and Josh Kogel; grandparents Al and Molly Smith; grandparents Richard and Clara Marone; Uncle Russell Marone, Uncle George Marone, Uncle Jack Tounsley, Aunt Betty and Uncle Don Olson; Uncle Ray and Aunt Jackie Kuhl; and cousins Sandy Wilson and Don Vancura.
