Scott Deutschman

Scott Deutschman, 62, of Fergus Falls, passed away peacefully at home Monday, March 25, 2025.

He was born March 5, 1963 in Minneapolis, MN, the son of Thomas and Luella (Rude) Deutschman. Scott graduated from Fergus Falls in 1981. In 1986 he received a degree in computer Programming from Alexandria Tech.

He went on to work at Otter Tail Power Co. until 2000. Scott then went into partnership opening a pool hall; Breaktime Billiards, in Sioux Falls SD until 2009. In 2015 he went into partnership opening Moorhead Billiards.

Scott wintered in Port Charlotte FL, and summered in Sioux Falls, SD, until 2023, when he moved permanently to Fergus Falls.

Scott, "Deutsch," as he was known, enjoyed many fishing trips with friends and a couple deep sea fishing outings in FL. For many years he played in weekly pool leagues, and has always been a favorite in the SD/MN pool halls, creating his own unique family. Scott was somewhat of a "Lady Magnet" and never minded surrounding himself with several lady friends for a night out. He also loved the simple things like sitting out in the morning sun and happy hour with a good Wild game. More recently, Troy would pick up Scott for weekly excursions to the VFW for bingo, a little e-tabs and attention from the girls.

Preceding him in death were his parents; Thomas and Lolly Deutschman.

Survivors include his brothers Michael (Kari Lyn) and Paul, and many close friends and family.

In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred to donor's choice.

A Memorial Gathering will be held Thursday, April 3, from 2-4 at the VFW in Fergus Falls. Please join family and friends to share stories and celebrate Scott's life.
