Scott Looney Obituary
Scott Looney, 76, of Akron, went home to be with the Lord on February 12, 2026. He loved to make people smile, and better yet laugh. Scott never met a stranger. He loved fishing in his younger years and every weekend yard sales with his wife to find the greatest deals. He played the guitar like no one ever heard, and through anointing of God wrote worship songs.
Scott leaves behind his wife of 54 years, Vicki Looney; sons, David and Scottie (Katie) Looney; brother, Randy (Angel) Looney; sisters, Donna (Andy) Harkless and Pam Byrd; sister-in-law, Betty Looney; Nine grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and so many, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends that he loved so much.
Scott is preceded in death by his son, Shawn; his beautiful mother, Ella Sabol; and brother, Ronnie Looney.
A memorial service for Scott will take place at Springfield Fellowship Church 830 Ewart Road, Akron, OH 44312 on Thursday February 19, 2026 at 1pm.
