Scott Batterson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Macken Funeral Home & Cremation Services on Sep. 10, 2025.
Scott Batterson, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 9, 2025, after a courageous battle with melanoma. He was 66 years old and was born and raised in Rochester, Minnesota. He graduated from John Marshall High School in 1977.
Scott is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Becki Batterson, and their two sons, Nicholas (Emily) and Justin (Anna). He was a proud and devoted grandfather to six grandchildren: Waylon, Eleanor, Olive, Rhea, Audrey, and Everly, who were the light of his life. He is preceded in death by his parents, Tom and Marlene Batterson.
Scott spent his career working in manufacturing, where he was known for his strong work ethic, practical wisdom, and dedication. His colleagues respected him not only for his professional contributions, but also for his kindness and steady presence.
Above all, Scott will be remembered for his deep love for his family and his generosity of spirit. He was a man of integrity, humor, and kindness, always willing to lend a helping hand or offer a word of wisdom. He had a profound impact on all who knew him, and his legacy will live on through his family and friends.
Scott is also survived by his sister, Marcy Aakre, and his brother, Bruce Batterson, along with many extended family members and close friends who will deeply miss him.
A celebration of Scott's life will be held at his and Becki's home on Saturday, September 20, 2025, from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. All who knew and loved him are welcome to attend and share in remembering a life well lived.
Scott's family extends their heartfelt thanks to the doctors, nurses, and caregivers who supported him during his battle with melanoma.

I was so sad to hear that Scott passed, shocked in fact, as I knew Scott sense early childhood, living in the Sunset Terrace School area, as we all ran around together getting into trouble most of the time it seemed. I recently reconnected via facebook, and was happy to see him loving golf, and posting a lot of fun times pictures of that , and with his family. I sorrily didn't get a change to meet up with him again, thinking we had plenty of time yet to do so.I pray that God will bless him, grant him peace, and welcome him into heaven with loving welcomes, which we all know he will!

Becki, I was gone the day of Scott's open house but I want to say how sorry I am that Scott is gone. This is a difficult time when everyone gets back to their normal and you have to figure out what your new normal is! My Scott really appreciated Your Scott's friendship. Couldn't find your address to send a card but wanted to say I'm thinking of you and the boys. Take care. Beth
