Scott Joel Kok

Scott Joel Kok, age 54 of Cambria, passed away on Monday, November 27, 2023, at St. Clare Hospital in Baraboo, with family by his side, following a two year battle with cancer.

Scott was born on July 20, 1969, in Waupun, the son of Ronald and Joyce (Alsum) Kok. He attended Randolph Christian Grade School and graduated from Central Wisconsin Christian High School in 1987. He was united in marriage to Tanya Walker on May 19, 2007, in Burnett, Wisconsin. Scott worked as a well-driller, first for Sam’s Well Drilling, and then as part owner of Lovelace Well Drilling from 2002 –2022. Scott had a passion for farming, and he and Tanya enjoyed growing and selling sweet corn for their farm stand. Scott had a very competitive nature, and for years he participated in truck pulls with “Go Green”. He also enjoyed attending car shows, especially the Pardeeville Car Show, where he volunteered and donated sweet corn, as well as displayed his beloved Camaros. Scott had a generous, giving nature, often going above and beyond, lending a helping hand to help others. His life was filled with many loyal friendships, but his pride and joy were his boys and time spent with them riding dirt bikes, snowmobiling and just hanging out in the shop while fixing on vehicles and other various projects. The Kok’s attend the Wesleyan Bible Church in Pardeeville.

Scott is survived by his loving wife, Tanya Kok; two sons, Jakob and Haiden Kok; stepson, Trenton Miller; parents, Ronald and Joyce Kok; siblings, Rhonda (Wayne) Mulder, Steve (Linda) Kok, Rochelle (Craig) Kartechner and Stuart Kok; parents-in-law, Richard and Crystal Walker; brothers-in-law, Shane Walker (special friend, Tina) and Wade Walker (special friend, Melissa); several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews; further survived by many friends.

He was preceded in death by his infant son, Wyatt; his grandparents, Ted and Joan Kok and John R J and Sadie Alsum, an uncle, Arden Kok, and an aunt Phyllis Kuik.
