Father of seven, grandfather of 24 and great grandfather of seven, Scott married his college sweetheart "Oney buns", on July 21, 1966, in Logan, Utah LDS Temple. They were crazy about each other and shared adventures for almost 54 years, raising seven children, being entrepreneurs (including running Haroldsen Building), camping, traveling, doting on their grandchildren, and serving in their community and church. Scott was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and loved his fellow ward members in Idaho and Kauai alike. He served the Lord with all his heart as a Scout Master, teacher, and leader to children, youth, and adults. At campouts, he was well known for stories around the fire as a Denver policeman. Scott had an adventuring spirit, he was a master builder, he climbed the Grand Teton, kayaked the Na Pali Coast, four-wheeled in the mountains, camped, river rafted with his family, boated and fished, traveled the world, and had so many near-death experiences his family lost track. Scott's family was the heart of his world. He cherished his wife and served as her caretaker to the very end. He loved his children and would support, encourage, and do everything he could to show his love for them. He was always quick to forgive. Scott was a hands-on dad and grandpa, tucking kids into bed with songs and stories of Purple Pecos Piko Mite, playing homespun outside games, giving rides on the four-wheeler, fishing, camping, and looking for the next adventure. He loved his family and the Lord. Scotty worked hard and played even harder. His legacy will live "to infinity and beyond." Survivors included: children Cherish Haroldsen, Jeffrey (Merrilee) Haroldsen, Joshua Haroldsen, Tamara (Jason) St. Peter, Rebekah (Adam) Wilding Haroldsen, Natalie (Erik) Evans, Jonathan (Necoal) Haroldsen; his 23 grandchildren, seven great grandchildren; siblings, Mark O. (Kimberly) Haroldsen and Sue (Paul) Kenny; also precedied by siblings Bruce Haroldsen, Jay Haroldsen and Michelle Clements and grandson Noah Haroldsen. Funeral services held Saturday, October 30th at Wood Funeral Home East
