Scott Allen Hovatter, age 48, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, October 24th in Millsboro.
He was born March 27, 1973, in Seaford, DE, and he attended school in Seaford. He was an
18-year veteran lineman and most recently with Delmarva Power, where loved his job. More
importantly, he loved his work family. Scott was always the life of the party. To know him was to love him. He was an avid fisherman and enjoyed offshore fishing and hunting in his spare time.
Scott had a deep love for music. There isn't a person around that didn't get some sort of song
lyric or music video sent to them from him. Scott loved his family, especially his daughters,
Brynn & Miley. They lit up his world, and everything he did was for them. Scott lived a life full of
fun and new experiences. Everyone has a "Hovatter" story.

(Seaford).
He is survived by his daughters Brynn Hovatter & Miley Hovatter (Millsboro), brother
