Scott Volkert

Scott Volkert of Mayville, formerly of Grafton, passed away in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Aug.19, 2025, at Avina of Mayville, where he had been a resident.  He was 58 years old.  

Scott was born in Ottawa, Ill., on Feb. 13, 1967, the son of Alfred and Elizabeth (nee Miller) Volkert. His family moved to Mequon in 1973 and he attended Homestead High School.  

Scott married Deborah Grimm at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Fredonia on Oct. 13, 1990.

A proud member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Grafton, Scott devoted his time and energy to serving his community. He was honored to act as a trustee for the Village of Grafton and served as an EMT for both the Fredonia Fire Department and Random Lake Fire Department, exemplifying his commitment to helping others.

In his professional life, Scott navigated the world of information technology with great skill at Fidelity Information Services in Milwaukee, and prior to that, he made his mark in sales at Newman Chevrolet in Cedarburg, where he was affectionately known as “Camaro Scotty.” His friendly demeanor and dedication to his work left a lasting impression on colleagues and customers alike.

Scott’s zest for life was evident in his love for the outdoors. He cherished moments spent camping, fishing and hunting, often sharing these passions with family and friends. Scott had a passion for pheasant hunting and helped found the Ozaukee chapter of Pheasants Forever. 

A NASCAR enthusiast, he enjoyed the thrill of the race and the camaraderie it brought to fellow fans. He also enjoyed attending races at Road America in Elkhart Lake.
