Scott David Muehlbauer, resident of Lāna’i City, HI, formerly of DeForest, WI, passed away on
August 18, 2020 at Maui Memorial Hospital at the age of 44 years.
Scott had a love for traveling, and cultures , but most important were the people he would
meet and become instant life-time friends with. His smile, laugh, and sense of humor have lead
to the many memories and stories that could fill volumes.
Though born in a small town outside Madison, WI, at the age of 18 he began what would be
almost an endless pursuit to visit as many countries and peoples around the world as possible.
As one of Jehovah’s Witnesses he also loved to volunteer his time helping others in preaching
the Kingdom good news, as well as assisting on various construction projects, such as the
local Kingdom Hall in Lāna’i , HI.
Eventually Scott moved to Mongolia, to learn the language, help teach others the Bible, and
supported himself teaching English for over 6 years before returning to Lāna’i.
Though Scott never married, or had children, he is survived by his parents, Paul and Pam, and
his brother, Michael. To the testament of the type of person Scott is, his family includes the
hundreds of brothers and sisters, aunties and uncles, and precious friends from all over the
world who got to visit and know him. We will all greatly miss his love, hugs, laughter, and story
telling.
The family will be arranging a memorial talk on Aug 29th at 1:00pmHST via Zoom.
