On January 1, 1943, in Boynton, Oklahoma, a bouncing, baby boy was born to Robert and Cordia Scott. They named him Robert Scott, Jr.

Robert was raised in Muskogee, Oklahoma, where he accepted Christ and was baptized at an early age at Canaan Baptist Church. He attended Muskogee Public Schools and excelled in commercial cooking.

As a young man, he moved to Los Angeles, California, where he resided for 20 years. Upon returning to Muskogee, he was employed with Brockway Glass until he relocated to Oklahoma City, where he was employed with Evans Furniture. During this time in his life, he was blessed with a son, Robert Scott, III.

In the early 1980's, he rededicated his life to Christ. Robert later returned to Muskogee, where he was employed with the Senior Citizens Nutrition Center, as well as a Certified Nurse Aid for Grace Living Center.

In April of 2001, he married Marsha Young and moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he worked as a CNA for University Village Nursing Home. He retired from labor in January of 2005.
