Scott Richard Ziebell passed away on Monday, March 24th, 2025, at Aspirus Wausau Hospital. Scott was born in Wausau on July 16th, 1957, to Richard and Nancy (Pagel) Ziebell.

Scott graduated from Wausau East High School in 1975. Shortly after, he began serving with the Marathon County Sheriff's Department as a reserve deputy, a role he held with dedication for nearly 30 years until his departure in 2007. Alongside his law enforcement career, Scott was the proud owner of Alarms of Wausau,

On August 27, 1994, Scott married Sue A. Brandenburg at Zion Lutheran Church in Wausau. Shortly after they welcomed their first son, Ethan, and later, Zachary.

Scott had a toolbox of knowledge that spanned anywhere from plumbing, electrical work, as well as tiling. He was always ready to tackle any project and patiently shared his skills with others. Scott also enjoyed cooking, often making homemade pizzas on Sundays, beer-battered fish on Fridays, and his famous cheesecake.

Scott was a dedicated member of the Wausau Elks Lodge 248 for 34 years. He was apart of the “Get’er Done Committee” tackling so many different projects. He served the Elks as trustee for two different terms. In 2001, Scott was named Elk of the Year at the lodge. Scott and Sue were honored as Couple of the Year in 2002.

In recent years, Scott worked at Sam’s Club for 10 years where he formed many friendships with coworkers and was able to interact and became close with so many people in Wausau and the surrounding areas.

He is survived by his sons, Ethan of Wausau, and Zachary (Kaleb) of North Dakota; grandson, Landen of Wausau; father, Richard of Wausau; brothers, Kim Ziebell of Oregon and Todd (Betty) Ziebell of Minnesota; as well as many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
