Michael H. "Mike" Scott

Michael H. “Mike” Scott, age 71, of Ottawa Lake, MI, passed away peacefully Tuesday, October 15, 2024 at Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Sylvania surrounded by his wife, sons and loving family. He was born on September 3, 1953 to Frank and Jessie Scott in Toledo. Mike graduated in 1971 from Sylvania High School. He worked for the Toledo Police Department for 25 years before retiring and at the same time attended the University of Toledo where he obtained his Law Degree. Mike practiced law for over 20 years before retiring a second time. 

Mike enjoyed traveling with his family and taking fishing trips to Canada and in most recent years Myrtle Beach. Mike spent many years coaching youth baseball; coaching not only his sons’ but his grandson as well. He was an avid Detroit Tigers fan and made the trip to Detroit any chance he could. 

His family was his greatest passion. Watching his grandchildren’s sporting events, school functions, just being with them made him happy. Mike was the best Grandad and loved spoiling his ten grandchildren. His smile, spirit and caring nature will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him. 

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Kathy Runyon; in-laws, Melvin and Georgia Zaciewski. 

Left to cherish Mike’s memory are his loving wife of 47 years Darla Scott; sons, Mike (Heather), Matt (Natalie), and Brian (Gabby) Scott; grandchildren, Kylie, Jake, Makenna, Raelynn, Gwen, Jude, Blane, Harrison, Eleanor, and Elizabeth; siblings, Diana Emery, Richard “Fat Rai” Scott, and Gail Kenney; many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.
