Scott Phillip Simpson

Scott Phillip "Scottie' Simpson passed away peacefully on August 21, 2023 at Atrium Health Cabarrus Medical Center. He was born in San Diego, California on January 26, 1962 to E. A. "Bud" and Peggy Ward Simpson. Scottie was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother Louise Wright Nixon, his father E. A. "Bud" Simpson, mother Peggy Ward Simpson and father in law Bill Connell. Scottie grew up in Dunwoody Georgia and is a 1980 graduate of Marist School in Atlanta, as well as Atlanta School of Broadcasting. Scottie loved and lived life to the fullest, serving in his church, community and any way he could to help others. One of his best life adventures was getting to live on the beautiful island of Maui, where he and his wife still have a Ohana.

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife Angela Connell Simpson, son Jordan Connell and his wife Jenna, brother in law Mark Connell (Heather) mother in law Sherry Connell, niece Maggie Connell, Uncle Joe Nixon (Martha Jo) and many other beloved extended family.

Scottie was a member of Village Chapel in Kannapolis. He and his family have been longtime advocates of Alzheimer's and Dementia and Scottie's diagnosis only made this a more heartfelt battle.

The family would like to thank Coltrane Life Center, Atrium Health Senior Behavior Unit and 2nd Floor Unit for the amazing care and compassion shown to Scottie in this journey.

The family will receive friends on Thursday, August 31, 2023 from 5:00 till 6:30 pm at Village Chapel at 310 Brookdale Street in Kannapolis, NC 28083. A Celebration of Life Service will follow after the Visitation.
