Scott Allen Reinert, 57
Sartell
Sept. 20, 1967-April 24, 2025
Scott Allen Reinert, 57, died April 24 at Rochester Methodist Hospital after a brave and lengthy battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
His funeral was held May 16 at Williams Dingmann Family Funeral Home in St. Cloud.
Reinert was born Sept. 20, 1967, in Golden Valley, Minn. to Edward H. and Sharon (Rachner) Reinert. He earned a bachelor’s degree from St. Cloud State University in May 1997. Following graduation, he began a long and dedicated career with Grede LLC. in St. Cloud where he rose to the position of senior technical manager. He was admired by colleagues, and played a key role in numerous projects throughout his 29-year tenure.
Reinert shared 22 loving years with his partner, Brenda Wenning. They were married Jan. 18, 2025. He was a proud and devoted stepfather to Katlin Traut. He found great joy in simple pleasures, especially quiet retreats to the family cabin on Sand Lake — days full of family fun, pontooning, bonfires, four-wheeling, snowmobiling, fishing and biking. Friends and family knew him to be generous, kind-hearted, thoughtful and ever eager to lend a helping hand.
Survivors include the following: his wife, Brenda; step-daughter Katlin; mother, Sharon; his sister, Julie (Fran) Schmitt; brothers Steve (Karin), Dennis (Shelly) and Greg. He shared a close extended family relationship with in-laws Jerry (Carol) Wenning, Brian (Char) Wenning, Nancy (Russ) Sand, Jeff (Tracy) Wenning, Kristy (Jared) Johnson; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Edward and his brother, Ron.
The family wishes to give special thanks to the hematology and oncology care teams at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. and to Coborn’s Cancer Center in St. Cloud.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Mayo Clinic (in support of cancer research and care) or to the River Valley Riders.
