Listen to Obituary

Wayne E. Scott, 91, of Macks Creek, MO (formerly of Overland Park, KS), passed away on July 9, 2025. He was born on January 27, 1934, in Tunas, MO, to Elmer and Esther Scott. Known for his generous spirit and lively presence, Wayne touched countless lives with his warmth and humor.

He attended school in Tunas and graduated from Macks Creek High School in 1952. Wayne served in the Army from 1956 to 1958, stationed in Korea as a heavy weapons infantryman. Upon returning home, he built a distinguished career in construction, eventually founding Scott Construction, where he earned a reputation for quality and integrity.

Wayne was preceded in death by his wife Jeannie; his parents; his siblings Patricia, Lynn, Betty, and Jackie; and his son Duane (whose wife Daleen survives). He is survived by his children: Jimmy Scott (Kelly), Terry Scott (Doreen), Diane Jordan (widow of Rick), and Dina Kircher (Dennis); his sister Mariann Parrack; many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends.

Wayne loved spending time with family and friends and was always the life of the party. He was deeply generous, going out of his way to help others. An avid sports fan, he cheered for the Chiefs, Royals, and KU at countless games. Wayne cherished traveling, with fond memories of exploring Europe, Hawaii, and family adventures across America, as well as enjoying multiple cruises with his beloved wife Jeannie.

Visitation will be held at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, July 15th, at Penwell-Gabel Olathe Chapel, with funeral services following at 2:00 PM. Burial will be at Pleasant Valley Cemetery in Overland Park, KS. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the American Legion in Louisburg, Kansas, where Wayne was a lifetime member.

Wayne’s infectious laughter and boundless generosity will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
