Gary Scott Obituary
Evansville, Indiana
Gary R. Scott, 72, of Evansville, passed away Monday, December 30, 2013, at St. Mary's Medical Center. He was born September 18, 1941, in Evansville, to the late Byron J. and Dorothy Bell (Acra) Scott.
His love for life was enormous; he was a lover and a giver. His greatest love was God, as well as his love for witnessing and sharing his testimony. He loved his family and friends and his greatest desire is for them to one day be with him in heaven. He was a very active member of Church of God of Prophecy. He enjoyed ocean fishing with his son, Gary Wayne. He was a great artist and enjoyed painting with his daughter, Vickie. He was a self-employed trim Carpenter for many years and was very detailed with his work.
Gary was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Danny Scott; and sister, Sharon Scott.
He is survived by his daughter, Vickie Hirsch; son, Gary W. Scott; brothers, Michael and Steven Scott; sister, Karen Sue Anders; nine grandchildren; and ten great-grandchildren.
Services will be 11:00 AM Thursday, January 2, 2014, at Alexander Newburgh Chapel, officiated by Rev. William Gaddis, with burial in Rose Hill Cemetery. Friends may visit Wednesday from 3:00 to 7:00 PM and Thursday from 10:00 AM until service time at the funeral home.

I worked for Gary several years ago and have great memories of that time. Gary was always singing and joking which made the days pass quickly. I learned a great deal about trimming from this guy and will always be thankful for that.

Dear Vicki so sorry to hear about your dad. Had been praying for you after reading your Facebook entry where you had taken him to the hospital. Can't come to visitation/service because of work schedule but will be praying for you and your family. Will indeed be rejoicing for your dad because he is already ahead of us doing what we can't wait to do....hanging out with our awesome Lord and savior.

I had the pleasure of working around Gary a few years back when he was doing trim carpentry work for one of the local home builders. We always had good talks. He was always very positive and just fun to be around. A good hard working guy that always made you feel better no matter what kind of day you were having.

Gary was a dear friend. We worked together for a long time and he was like a brother, father, pastor, and most of all my good friend. He taught me alot about carpentry and about God.
We butted heads a few times but so do me and my brothers. I enjoyed working with him and just hanging out him.
I feel like I lost a family member & I will miss him alot. God Bless Gary and his family.
