Scott Birdsley Obituary
Scott L. Birdsley
July 3, 1985-February 4, 2022
Scott L. Birdsley, age 36 of Marion, Iowa, formerly of Clinton, passed away Friday, February 4, 2022 at St. Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, February 12, 2022 at the Pape Funeral Home in Clinton. A gathering of family and friends will take place from 1:00 to 2:00 PM Saturday at the funeral home prior to the service. Online condolences may be left at www.papefh.com.
Scott was born in Clinton on July 3, 1985, the son of Diane (Charlson) and Steven Birdsley. Scott graduated from Clinton High School in 2003 and from Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids in 2008. He was employed as a senior Desktop Analyst with TransAmerica in Cedar Rapids.
Scott met the love of his life, Elizabeth (Liz) Lingle in 2004 and they were married on September 5, 2009 in Clinton. Together they have two children, Natalie (10) and Gavin (7) who were his absolute pride and joy.
There is a tremendous void in the place of Scott's passing. He was a loving husband, a patient and kind father, a reliable friend, and always put his family before anything else. There wasn't a dad chore, or dad joke, that Scott sat out on. He was someone you knew you could always call and he would always answer. Scott gave to family and friends without end and put everyone's needs before his own.
Those left to miss and love Scott are Liz, Natalie, and Gavin who reside in Marion; his parents, Steven and Diane of Clinton; sister, Jessica (Patrick) Getz of Clinton; brother, Eric Birdsley of Chicago; sister-in-law, Alice (Tom) Drummond of Port Byron; brother-in-law, Joshua (Jessica) Lingle of Clinton; and nieces and nephews Abram, Willa, Gabriel, Jocelyn, Franklin, Lauren, Sydney, and Wyatt, and many close friends and loved ones. Memorials may be made to the family.

Scott and I worked together for about three years with all the challenges one could think of at a young, growing company. He reinforced the importance of a sense of humor at a time when we both needed it. I´ll never forget that time. He was one of those gentlemen that made you look forward to coming to work. Scott had stunning intelligence and great instincts and helped me learn my job (at times way more than he would have been expected to!). This world has lost an incredible father, husband, and friend. I am so deeply sorry.

I worked with Scott at Transamerica and he was always a pleasure to be around and always willing to lend a hand if needed. He always had that big smile on his face that would light up the room and if you were having a bad day he would just bring up your spirits. He will be truly missed by all.
