Ronald Lewis Scott

Ronald "Ron" Lewis Scott was born the middle of three boys to Harriett Bray Scott and Troy Wallace Scott in Indianapolis.
In childhood, he enjoyed scaring his mom with snakes found in their back yard on Crittenden Avenue. Snakes later gave way to birds, as he became an expert caretaker of the thousands of birds who visited his backyard. Ron was a wrestler at Broad Ripple High, and attended Ball State before graduating from IUPUI. He met the love of his life, Marsha, on a blind date. They were soon married and established roots in Carmel. 
Ron was employed with Ameritech for more than 20 years where he excelled in advertising sales. Ron was a hard-working, caring man who was a gifted handyman. He was a thoughtful, patient and loving man who brought joy and laughter to his treasured family. 
Ron left this earth on June 7 at the age of 73 after unexpected complications from lung surgery. Remaining to keep his memory alive are wife, Marsha (nee Coapstick); children, Nicole Hebert (John), Holly Blessing (Brian) and Ryan Scott (Amanda Distler); grandchildren, Ella, Josie and Jack Hebert, and Hayden and Eli Scott; father, Wally; brothers Troy (Susie) and David (Jodi); as well as many other dear family members and close friends. He was preceded in death by his mother Harriett.
