Scott James Hebenstreit went home to his Lord and Savior on Saturday, April 3, 2021, with his loving wife Sheila by his side, ending a long battle with Huntington’s disease.

Scott was born March 22, 1962, in Jefferson, to Madalyn and Jerry Hebenstreit. He grew up in Grand Junction, graduating from East Greene High School in 1980. After earning a degree in refrigeration at Des Moines Area Community College in Ankeny, he established his own business, Hebenstreit Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, a 30-year, successful business focusing on commercial refrigeration.

 Scott and Sheila were united in marriage on November 24, 1990, and made their home in Jefferson. When Scott wasn’t working, he enjoyed riding his horse Ben, entertaining his nieces and nephews, and going to car shows with his 1972 Chevy truck. He will be remembered by all who knew and loved him for his sense of humor, his patience, his kindness and his generosity.

Scott is survived by his wife Sheila of Jefferson; his mother Madalyn Brobst-Thompson of Boone; his aunt Julie Hebenstreit (Joe Hall) of Madison Lake, MN; parents-in-law Russ and Kathy Dotts of New Virginia; brothers-in-law Curt ( Nan) Dotts of Oshkosh, WI, and Jeff ( Annette) Dotts of Urbandale; and sister-in-law  Carol (Mark) Martinez of Norwalk; as well as nieces, nephews and cousins who will always cherish their memories of Scott.

He was preceded in death by his father Jerry and brother Mark.
