Scott King, 61, of Austin, Texas, passed away unexpectedly on October 19, 2025. He was a loving and cherished husband, father, son, brother, uncle, friend, and cat dad. He would have loved for gifts to be made in his memory to BookSpring’s literacy programs.

Born and raised in Stillwater, Oklahoma, Scott earned degrees in electrical engineering from Oklahoma State University. His career in the semiconductor industry spanned more than thirty years with Motorola, Freescale, and NXP Semiconductors where he loved designing devices that helped connect people and make their lives easier. He was a talented engineer, but also a supportive colleague and mentor. His steady encouragement and kindness left a lasting impression on those he worked with.

An avid reader of many genres, Scott was always looking for the next great book. He encouraged in his children a love of books by reading to them every night from birth well into their high school years. Often performing each character’s dialogue in funny or deeply serious voices, he made stories come alive. He also enjoyed traveling with friends and family, especially trips to Disney World or Universal Studios. While he was not a roller coaster enthusiast, he delighted in the joy they brought to the rest of the family while he waited firmly on the ground, reading his book.

Scott is survived by his wife, Janet; son, Matthew; daughter, Sara; mother, June King; sister, Carrie Coffey; niece, Rachel Coffey; nephews, Mason and Wyatt Coffey, and many cousins. He was preceded in death by his father, Bill King. Scott will be deeply missed by his loving family, as well as his many friends and colleagues.
