Brent Peter Scallan earned an Associate of Arts degree from Pueblo College, Bachelor of Arts from Northwestern State University, and a Masters of Arts in Education from Northwestern State University. His love for literature led to a Master’s Degree in British Literature. His educational career, which spanned 40 years, began as a high school English teacher and concluded when he retired as an Assistant Principal at Plaucheville Elementary School in 1999. Mr. Scallan lived his life as a devout Catholic, had a special devotion to Our Blessed Mother, and enjoyed talking about the lives of the saints. He was an incredible singer, and his children have wonderful memories of hearing him singing along with Nat King Cole during Christmas Time and singing opera in the pasture as he enjoyed working on his small farm. Mr. Scallan loved watching and collecting old movies, particularly country and western shows and films. He was a contemplative man of few words, but when he did speak, his words were deep and meaningful. Mr. Scallan will be sadly missed and will always hold a special place in our hearts. The family would like to thank All Saints Hospice for their loving and compassionate care of Mr. Scallan during his last months.
