Scot Jon Marone, the son of Ronald Marone and DeMeris (Smith) Marone, was born on October 6, 1965 in Huron. Scot grew up on the family farm near Cavour and graduated from Huron High School in 1985.
Scot was in the trucking industry since 1986. His 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. He then started 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, TX 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.
Scot enjoyed all aspects of agriculture from planting to harvesting to marketing.
Scot 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 honest, kind, strong, respectful, a man of his word; a person could feel that in his handshake.
Grateful for having shared in Scot’s life are his 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 Dave (Jody) Marone of Pukwana, Kristi (David) Alley of Isabel and Tenaya Marone of Crofton, NE; and nieces and nephews.
Scot was preceded in death by his brothers Rickey Marone and Josh Kogel; grandparents Al and Molly Smith and Richard and Clara Marone; uncles Russell Marone, George Marone, and Jack Tounsley; Aunt Betty and Uncle Don Olson and Uncle Ray and Aunt Jackie Kuhl; and cousins Sandy Wilson and Don Vancura.
