Scott Michael McLean's Obituary
Scott Michael McLean, age 43 of Howard, KS, passed away Saturday, January 15, 2022 at Greenwood County Hospital in Eureka, KS
Scott, Bud or Scotty was born to Mike & Barbara McLean in Sedan, Kansas October 22, 1978 and lived in Howard most of his life.
Scott enjoyed sports of many kinds; playing, coaching and watching. Scott’s humor and wit were a huge part of his personality. The amount of useless knowledge he had could fill a book and was something he was all too happy to share with anyone he talked to. His hobbies included gardening with his family, hunting, fishing, grilling or smoking anything and everything eatable with his Dad and son. He often could be found hanging out by the fire pit with family and friends. He was a devoted husband, father, son, grandson, brother, and friend. To know him was to love him because He lived and loved Big!
Scott and April met in high school when she moved to Moline, and they started dating shortly after. They were married July 28th, 2001. In 2011, Scott took a job out of Coffeyville, Kansas, with 4State Maintenance Supply Company and returned to Howard with his wife and 4 kids, Avery, Holton, Turner, & Holly Jo. He and April spent time together gardening, going to the kids’ activities, attending church at First Baptist Church of Howard and supporting many of Howard's organizations. Scott was a City Councilman and enjoyed it greatly. His faith was important to him and something that he hoped and prayed that others could see. He loved his job and never quit working. When asked what Scott did for a living, April and the kids would reply “he sells toilet paper and toilet paper accessories.”
Scott loved and lived for his family. He worked hard at making his parents proud. He was a momma’s boy, and his Dad was his best friend. He had two sisters that spoiled him rotten and continued to do so even into adulthood. He was so proud to say that Elaina and Tania were his sisters and that pride transferred to his brother in-laws and his nieces and nephews. His capacity for love made it easy for him to be loved by so many. If you were lucky enough to call him friend, you were thought of as family.
Scott will be missed in this life by his Wife April and three kids, Avery, Holton, and HollyJo. His parents Mike and Barb McLean, sister Elaina and Dustin Willhite, sister Tania and Nathan Turner, G-ma and G-Pa, Grandpa Bob, Mother and Father-in-law Robin and Mark Brisbois, Sister-in-law Shona and Trek Lewis, Brother-in-law Gary Adams, Nieces Chloe Elizabeth, Izzy, Emaly, and Laela, Nephews Pistol 1, Barefoot, Pistol Too, Randy, and Kirk, and His Brother’s Clay Conard, Dewey Price, Jeff Zimmers, and Daryl Livergood
