Scott William Fredin was born on October 14, 1964, in Windom, Minnesota to the late Merlin Eugene and AnnaMarie (Anderson) Fredin. He was baptized in Windom and later confirmed at the American Lutheran Church in Windom. Scott received his education in the Windom Public Schools, graduating from Windom High School in the Class of 1983. After high school, Scott moved to the Cities for a few years of work before returning to Windom in 1986 to start working with Wilder Farms. Scott then joined Fredin Brothers, a place he's called his second home for 32 years. Scott proved to be an integral part of the business, his genuine nature allowing him to naturally transform business relationships into friendships across the country. Scott & his Brother Jeff started J & S Grazing, a Feeder Cattle operation at the family ranch, until recently embracing the next generation when Austin and Scott started their father/son venture in Heritage Hills Cattle Growers. On June 24 ,2000, Scott was united in marriage to Lisa Bergendahl. Lisa joined Scott on the Family Ranch, where they raised Feeder cattle, horses & the kids. Scott loved boating and spending weekends at their lake getaway on Lake Minnewaska. Away from the office at the lake, Scott also enjoyed making new friends, sometimes surprising Lisa with unannounced guests. They would often host grill-outs, bonfires, and good times at the family farm. Those who've spent time with Scott would recognize the phrase "I just wanna have fun, dammit". The grandkids quickly figured out Grandpa's good nature and he cherished the time they spent together. Scott was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Windom and a member of the City of Windom's Airport Commission. He will be remembered as a gentle, carefree, driven (stubborn), family man who loved politics-especially Trump rallies. You could normally find him sitting beside a fire, smoking a cigar & sipping whiskey, or at a Hockey game watching Austin - he loved watching his boy play. Scott's true passion in life was flying, often going to hockey games, Vikings games & offering rides to friends and family. Scott's other passion was Cattle, he was a true Cattleman. At the young age of 20, Scott began his journey toward earning his pilots license. He quickly achieved this goal and purchased his first plane shortly thereafter. This took him on many adventures across the country with family and friends. There wasn't one flight that went without meticulous planning and consideration. On Sunday morning, December 6, 2020, Scott was called home, doing what he loved at the age of 56 years. Scott is survived by his wife, Lisa; three children, Tanner (Abby Lund) Jenkins of Minneapolis; Jessica (Jay) Keller of Rochester; Austin (Heather Bratrud) Fredin of Windom; three grandchildren, Paxton, Weston, and Griffin Keller, two brothers, Curt (Linda) Fredin of Springfield; Jeff (Betty) Fredin of Windom; sister-in-law, Kathy Fredin of Alexandria; brother-in-law, Denny Geffre of Mound; two brothers-in-law, Jeff Bergendahl of Windom; Doug (Heidi) Bergendahl of Windom; and many nieces, nephews and friends. Scott is preceded in death by his parents; brother, Wayne Fredin; sister, Brenda Geffre; nephew, Jason Fredin; and father-in-law and mother-in-law, Lyle and Bonnie Bergendahl.
