Harry Oscar Mott passed away peacefully in his home on Monday, March 25, 2024, in Ansley Nebraska at the age of 83. Harry, the son of Harold Redman Mott and Hazel Mae (Keller) Mott was born on February 1, 1941, on a farm in Oconto, Nebraska.
Harry attended high school in Mason City and Ansley until the 12th Grade. Not long after he left high school Harry met his wife Vivian (Love) Mott at a dinner in Loup City, Nebraska, Vivian and Harry fell in love and were joined together in marriage on June 13, 1964. The two had a happy marriage and during that marriage five children were born: William “Bill”, Myron, Everett, Valda, and Bobbie.
Harry was a jack of all trades and as he would tell you a master of none, but he truly had a love for driving eighteen wheelers. His love of trucking took him many places including Canada and Mexico and made many friends along the way. When he wasn’t trucking Harry spent time with family and friends, loved to be outside, and would often be found with a fishing pole in his hand and eventually toting one or two of his many grandchildren with him. As he got older, he would often be found “making his rounds” as his kids and grandkids would say, this usually meant that he was out checking on his family and friends in Ansley.
Harry was loved by so many and known to give someone the shirt off his back and to always help anyone who needed it whether it was helping someone on the side of the road fix their tire or helping friends with their farm work but, most of all he was known for his profound love for his family.
Harry was preceded in death by his parents Harold Mott and Hazel (Keller) Mott, Brother Harold Mott (Dot Mott), Sister Aleatha Mott (Howell) (Abe Howell), Brother Vernon Mott (Clysta Mott), Brother Joe Mott (Molly Mott), Son Myron Mott and others.
