Kornacki, Scott Robert 47, of Buda, passed away following a traumatic motorcycle accident on Saturday, January 19, 2019. Scott was full of life and energy, the first to laugh and always up for an outdoor adventure. He was dearly loved by many and devoted to his family. If he was here today, he would say “Live long and prosper”.
Scott was born March 27,1971 in Islip, New York to Robert Jon Kornacki and Mary Jane Sylvester Kornacki. He was a lifelong collector of comic books. His favorite was Captain America. His love of the Captain would not only overtake his collection, but would have him drawing the Captain’s shield on pizza box lids, and then flinging them at maybe not-so-innocent college friends. He loved movies like Scarface and Star Wars, which he could quote every line. He would often compare himself to Red from That 70’s Show. He loved playing his favorite video game, Unreal Tournament. He was immensely proud of completing the game on God-like difficultly. He was a real Star Trek Aficionado and wanted to be buried in a red shirt as a joke. Scott married the love of his life, Shelly Lindberg on March 14, 1997 at the First Baptist Church of Elroy and together set forth raising three wonderful daughters. Scott loved to camp and hike with his family in Big Bend and Enchanted rock. He loved all kinds of water sports and talked about buying a boat. He loved visiting Mustang Island, Miami, and Hawaii. He also loved to surf, even though he could not stand on the surfboard. Scott was an IRS employee for over fifteen years, working in data transcription and other positions. He loved working with his hands, as he often fixed everything from water pipes to cars all on his own. Scott had a quirky sense of humor; he loved to tease his family and make himself laugh with his own silly jokes.
Scott worshiped his family and will be greatly missed by his wife, Shelly, and his daughters, Rachel, Bethany, and Rebekah. His mother, Mary Jane Yanta; brother, Brett Kornacki; sisters; Allison and Mary Beth Yanta, and Jessica Huffman and her husband Daniel will share his loss. His father, Robert Kornacki; his wife Cathie; his twin sisters; Erin and Tess Kornacki; his niece, Brianna; his nephews; Kristian and Liam; his in-laws; Larry and Linda Lindberg, brother-in-law, Brian Lindberg and his wife Adriana will also miss his infectious laugh.
