Harold Scott Hartland
October 17, 1950 - January 03, 2021
Affectionately known as Scott, or Scotty, Scott was born to Dr. Harold and Josephine Hartland in Canton, Ohio. Scotty and his 2 sisters grew up in the Canton area. His family shared many fun summer vacations in Puttin' Bay Island, Ohio where his love for fishing and the outdoors was developed. His love for nature and all things outdoors drew him to Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado to pursue a degree in biology and fisheries management. He was accepted to the Theta Chi Fraternity and met many lifelong friends.
He began a career in brick laying and design, outdoor landscaping, and waterfall construction and design. After many years of working and honing his skills along with perfecting construction techniques, he and a partner opened The Rock Brothers. He also learned how to expertly operate many large pieces of equipment to find huge, beautiful and unique rocks from the local mountain areas.
He had found a partner and best friend in Rapunzel, his loyal dog buddy. They shared many adventures together including camping, fishing and rock hunting. On the weekends you could occasionally find Scott and Rapunzel canoeing around some of the local lakes. Scott loved animals and later adopted a parrot named Alex who would hang out on his shoulder all day.
Scotty was truly one of the "good guys". Saying that he was a good man seems to minimize the positive effect he had on his friends and loved ones, but that truly is the best phrase to describe him. He is most remembered for his generosity, kindness, and caring. He became involved with Kiwanis and was an active, involved member in several Northern Colorado clubs. He volunteered his time and efforts to advocate for and serve children and families in our local community. He loved being a part of the annual Fishing Derby. Kiwanis would donate fishing rods to kids that participated. I bet Scotty must of helped bait hooks for over 500 kids!! He always put others needs before himself and always had time to listen. He would drop everything just to help someone whether it was a flat tire at 2:00am or giving a ride to an appointment. He had a nature you could not help loving and to those who knew and loved him, his memory will never grow cold.
He is preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his two sisters, Ann Hicks and Maryjo Tuttle. He has nieces and a nephew who he loved to dote on. He loved to visit them and was very proud of their accomplishments through the years.
A Celebration of Life will be held in Ft. Collins sometime in the Summer of 2021.
