Scott Bernard McGrath, 55, of Corpus Christi, Texas, took his final ride on February 27, 2025, leaving behind a trail of laughter, sarcasm, and probably a few unpaid bar tabs. Born in Pensacola, Florida, on June 13, 1969, Scott grew up in Flour Bluff, where he graduated from Flour Bluff High School before heading off to the U.S. Army, serving his country with the same rebellious spirit that made him unforgettable.
Scott had two great loves in life: Harleys and women (not necessarily in that order). He lived fast, loved freely, and never took anything too seriously—except for his own rules, which he followed religiously. He was known for doing things his way, unapologetically and with a smirk.
Scott leaves behind his father, Retired Navy Chief Stanton McGrath, and Stan’s wife, Mary Lee McGrath, as well as his brother, Charles McGrath, and his sister-in-law, Nimet McGrath. He is also survived by his children: Chelsea, Morgan, Kailahni, Austin, and Cheyenne (that we know of), as well as numerous grandchildren who will undoubtedly inherit his sharp wit and mischievous grin. He was a son, father, brother, boyfriend, friend, uncle, and—let’s be honest—a legend in his own mind.
While Scott may have spent his life doing whatever the heck he wanted, he now joins the only two women who ever managed to keep him in check—his late mother, Carol McGrath, and his grandmother, Ethel Thompson. We imagine they’re already straightening him out.
Special thanks to the many women who brought him comfort over the years—your patience and questionable taste in men did not go unnoticed.
We will celebrate Scott’s life with a service on Wednesday, March 12, at Del Angel Funeral Home, 4901 Everhart Rd., Corpus Christi, TX. From 2pm-6pm.
His ashes will be placed with honor in the columbarium at the Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetery in May, where he will receive full military honors, including a flag presentation and rifle salute, in recognition of his dedicated service to this country. With deep respect and gratitude, a flag will be presented in his honor, commemorating his service as a U.S. Army veteran.
In true Scott fashion, we’ll celebrate his life not with tears, but with laughter, stories, and maybe a few cold ones. Ride free, Scott—you finally get to break all the rules.
