Kevin C. Scott

Kevin Charles Scott, age 68 of Plainwell passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 18, 2026. He was surrounded by his wife, Vicky and 3 granddaughters they had raised together, Charity Carter-Kirby (Daniel), Becky Lynn Trent (Houston) and Ashley Carter in New Port Richie, Florida.

He was born April 26, 1958, the son of Raymond and Linda Scott. Kevin attended Plainwell High School before moving to New Port Richie, Florida to begin his life as an ironworker. Kevin met his wife Vicky there and together they raised her 3 granddaughters as their own. He was their Papa and he loved them deeply. 

Kevin loved his dogs, enjoyed playing pool, joining various leagues throughout his life. He also liked spending time with his family and friends and sharing stories about his life. He was proud of his career and would reminisce about the time he fell off a steel building they were erecting and how he broke both of his wrists but kept going. 

Kevin also enjoyed music and liked listening to Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and other classic country musicians. He loved to get the party going by loudly stomping his foot, clapping his hands, laughing and singing along to his favorite, Ring of Fire and doing the “Hooper Stomp”. Kevin liked watching old TV shows such as Andy Griffith, Gun Smoke and other cowboy classics. He would have the TV so loud it sounded like the shoot out was in the living room instead of on the TV. He was an avid NASCAR fan and liked following Dale Earnhardt. 

He spent the last 10 years of his life being a snowbird between Plainwell and Florida. Even though he could be complicated at times, he was kind, generous and had a heart of gold. A good example is when he showed up last fall at Sisters of St. Joseph with a truck load of mums that he helped plant in a garden outside his mom’s room. How appropriate that the mums are starting to bloom. A reminder of how a small deed can change lives.

Surviving are his wife, Vivian “Vicky” Scott; stepchildren, Scott Carter (Tonya), Stacy Carter and Tina Winkles (Chris); 8 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; mother, Linda Hallett; stepmother, Rosie Scott; siblings, Jodi Giltrop, Lisa Miller and Todd Scott (Tracy) along with several nieces and nephews. 

He was preceded in death by his father, Raymond; stepfather, John Hallett and brother-in-law, Tom Miller. 

According to his wishes cremation has taken place. 

A memorial mass will be held at 11:00 A.M., Friday, October 9, 2026, at St. Margaret Catholic Church in Otsego, with Rev. Fr. Simon Manjooran officiating.
