Obituary published on Legacy.com by J.C. Kirby and Son Broadway Chapel - Bowling Green on Feb. 21, 2026.
Byron Scott Grimes, 67, of Bowling Green, Kentucky, passed away on February 19, 2026. Scott was born on August 5, 1958, to W.E. and Betty Grimes in Bowling Green, Kentucky. A 1976 graduate of Warren East High School, he went on to own and operate a grocery store before beginning a long and dedicated career within the oil industry. He retired in 2024.

Scott is survived by his parents, Betty and W.E. Grimes; his daughters, Amanda Grimes Jones (Chris) and Brandy Tucker (Brian); and his beloved grandson, Theo Tucker.

Scott loved spending time outdoors, especially enjoying his time spent on Barren River Lake and driving ATVs around his farm. Scott was a devoted father and son. Scott was a member of Mt. Pleasant Church of Christ. He was known for his integrity, and a deep kindness - qualities that left a lasting impact on all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Services have been entrusted to J. C. Kirby & Son Funeral Chapels. Cremation was chosen and the family will hold a private celebration of life.

Scott was a hard working man that loved his family and friends unconditionally. He was very kind and would help anyone in need. He hired me when I was 12yrs old to load hay on his farm. From there he hired me to work under him @ American Chemical Technology´s. After several years there he then would hire me for lil odd jobs. He never lost sight of helping people. I cannot remember a time that I was around him that he didn´t speak of his girls and how proud of them he was. He would also often talk about his parents as well. Scott was a great man and will forever be missed. Until we meet again ole buddy, rest in peace. Ben
