Danny Lee Scott, 58, passed away Saturday, June 18, 2011 at home.
He spent most of his life in Louisville, but never forgot his early childhood in near Tompkinsville, KY in Monroe County.
Danny excelled in high school at Lincoln School in Simpsonville, KY and attended Harvard University.
His long career with the Courier Journal and Louisville Times
includes working on the police call desk and as a court reporter.
Danny was also a copy editor for the Presbyterian Church.
He was preceded in death by: Pearl Scott (Mom), Roy Scott (Dad),
Ella Ann Scott (Sister), Mary Lea Davis and Nellie Stone (Aunts),
Charles Davis (Uncle), David Jones (Best Friend) and Nellie Stone (Aunt).
Danny is survived by his brother Bobby Scott (Columbus, IN), his wife,
Ruby Scott (Columbus, IN), Dan Scott (Louisville) and Ted Scott (Nephews),
Rachel Officer and Juanita Scott (Aunts), Gene Scott and Amos Scott (Uncles),
Harold Davis and Monie Dodson (Cousins), Sam Polson and Earl Walther (Best Friends).
A funeral service will be at 1 p.m., Saturday, June 25, 2011 at
Owen Funeral Home – Jeffersontown, 9318 Taylorsville Rd. Burial in Penn Run Cemetery.
Visitation will be 4-8 p.m.,
Friday, June 24, 2011.
Danny was a creative, compassionate and sensitive person, who often lived
life fiercely and with little compromise, as artists often do. Equally,
he was passionately devoted to his parents, brothers and brother’s family, and a few
widely scattered but very close friends. But challenged over several years by worsening health.
His unique spirit and presence will be sorely missed by us.
