Scott Michael Wickiser

Scott Michael Wickiser, age 42, an amazing husband, father, son, brother, and best friend to many, passed away unexpectedly on April 10, 2015 at Riverside Methodist Hospital. Born December 30, 1972 in Columbus, OH, he graduated from Northland High School. He went on to attend Ohio University, receiving a degree in Business. During these years he formed numerous lifelong relationships. Many of these friends were at his bedside his last few days or there through thoughts and prayers. He was one of those rare spirits who was loved by everyone he met. He was Director of Planning for L Brands with Bath and Body Works in Columbus, OH. His passion was spending time with family and friends. He loved playing the guitar, paddle boarding and just sitting back relaxing with friends and family listening to music from Bob Marley and Pearl Jam among others. He was a big fan of Duke basketball and the Chicago Cubs (this is their year). His favorite place to be was at the beach with Susan and their boys. Even after death he was able to help 55 others through organ donation which is a reflection of his giving nature. Survived by Susan Karkosak, his loving wife; his children Manny, Noah and Ben; his parents, Tom and Sandy; his siblings; Rick (Amy) and Barb (Brad); nieces and nephews, Tyler, Ryan, Kylie, Bryce, Savannah and Jake. Also survived by Susan's family; Dr. and Mrs. Karkosak, 5 brothers and sisters-in-laws, their spouses and numerous nieces and nephews, as well as Manny's mom Holly and many friends he called family.
