Scott Hargis
Dec 30th, 1963 - Feb 24th, 2025Scott Allen Hargis, age 61, of Flora, Illinois, passed away Monday, February 24, 2025, at his home.
He was born December 30, 1963, in Flora, the son of Franklin “Frank” Lee and Norma Jean (Stanford) Hargis. On April 6, 2009, he married Donna Harned at Bethlehem Christian Church. He was a faithful member of the church and served as a deacon.
Scott’s life revolved around the outdoors, and the quiet pride he took in caring for his own parcel of ground. Bow hunting, fishing, and trapping were among his favorite activities. He stayed busy on his farmstead raising chickens, goats, and pigs, as well as gardening and canning—he even made his own maple syrup. Scott was also an avid butcher who was particularly known for his delicious deer sausage, and he was a good mechanic who took pride in maintaining and repairing equipment.
