Roy Pat Scott, 92, of Wheelersburg, OH, passed away on Friday, October 6, 2023. He was born March 17, 1931 in Portsmouth, Ohio, a son of the late John and Blanch (Blair) Scott.
Pat was a 1949 graduate of Portsmouth High School. He served loyally in the U.S. Navy for nearly four years as a Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class aboard the USS Adirondack during the Korean War and was a proud veteran. He provided for his family through his hard work in the steel industry in New Boston, Ohio for decades. He also co-owned a livestock farm with his twin brother Ray for many years. Pat was married to his beloved wife Marsha Jo Scott for 47 years.
He was a doting husband, who was always looking after and caring for Marsha. They enjoyed playing cards with friends and traveling. Pat loved to spend time outdoors, including fishing and camping. He enjoyed baking pastries, including delicious cinnamon rolls, and cooking. He always kept his cars spotlessly clean, washing them daily. Papaw Pat was a nurturing grandfather who would spin tall tales for his grandchildren, with colorful characters and suspenseful plots, keeping them on the edge of their seats. He could make a McDonald’s run seem like the adventure of a lifetime.

He is survived by his children JP Scott of Texas; Brian (Beverly) Scott of Florida; Denise (Mike) Miller of Georgetown, OH; Adam (Amy) Scott of Union, Kentucky; and two stepsons: Craig (Kris) Bahner of Michigan; and Todd Bahner of Wheelersburg, Ohio.
