Scott Cheetham Obituary

Published by Legacy on Nov. 1, 2024.
On 10/09/2024, Scott Alan Cheetham, passed peacefully at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit Michigan. He was 65 years old. Scott was the son of Robert and Lois Cheetham, and brother to Bob, Sue, Dee, and Cindy. Scott had one son: Jared. Scott Cheetham was born March 11th, 1959, graduated from Columbia Central High, class of 77. He was going to college for engineering, when an accident at the tire shop he owned with his father halted his education. Scott had many injuries throughout his life, but that only made him tougher. Growing up, his son thought of him as the Terminator. He had a natural talent with mechanics, and it was demonstrated in his love of motorcycles and airplanes. Scott rarely asked for help, but always gave it freely. It was a large part of the joy he found working at the hospital. He enjoyed the world around him, and connected with animals and nature. A celebration of life ceremony will be held at Colombia High School on November 3rd, 2024, from 3-5p.m.
