Laura, Walt (“Gene”), Beth, Eva and family,

Our deepest condolences are extended from Ernestine Kahle, Rhonda Fiebelkorn, Brenda Flasch and Clay Kahle.  We have many fond memories of the visits we had with your family.  We love you all and pray you will feel God’s peace and love in the coming days, weeks and months ahead.   

Our deepest sympathies.   ❤️

Walt and Laura, I have been following Scott’s story via our church newsletter and I am so sorry to hear this. But I am also amazed by Scott’s heroic battle with this terrible disease. How strong and full of life he must have been!  And what a powerful example to others. God bless all of you!  Love in Christ.

When I would visit Scott, he would always greet me with, "Hey Friend!" and a big smile.  You were the most pure human being I have ever met and probably ever will. 

I will treasure the memories of vacationing with you and Eva, the crazy canoe trips, and the anticipation of seeing what Halloween costume you would come up with.  

You were more than just my brother-in-law, you were my friend and I will miss you dearly.

Uncle Scott was a man that everyone should strive to be. Reliable, loyal, and so incredibly selfless. He was hilarious, kind, and one of the strongest people I have ever known. He fought his battle every day with grit, grace, and courage. Everyone who knew him was so lucky to be connected to such a great guy.

Uncle Scott was a Legend, and as The Babe once said,

“Heroes get remembered,
but Legends never die.”

We all know how selfless,  patient and kind, but this I just had to add 
A year ago I drove to Ft Worth,  Texas.  While I was there I ended up in ICU for 5 days. There was no way I could physically and emotionally drive back to Kansas city.  When he heard he without another thought volunteered to fly to DFW to get me. First thing he told me was we'll get you back safely,  just rest. There was no way I could have driven back to Kansas city by myself. 
He truly is my bro.

There are so many memories I have of my Uncle Scott but, for whatever reason, the most enduring image I have is coming over to the house so many times and seeing him mowing the yard with his dad shoes and headphones on, looking up and waving at me. Thank you, Aunt Eva, for bringing him into our family. Not only did we get Zach and Sydney, but we got an awesome uncle with the kindest heart who loved us as much as we loved him.

I am going to miss him very much.

This loss is difficult to bear. My heart goes out to the Baughman family, who were such a significant part of my life while I was growing up. I will keep you all in my prayers for a long time, and I know Scott is watching over all of us. He was always a quiet and reserved man, but he always took me in as family and made sure me and sydney had a ride to every event we went to. One moment I will always cherish forever I was when I  accidentally threw away my retainer in a Taco Bell bag after Scott dropped Sydney and me off at cheer camp. I thought it was gone for good, but Scott, being the man he was, went into the trash to retrieve it because he knew how important it was to me. He was truly one of a kind, and no one can ever tell me he wasn’t a kind soul. I’ am always one phone call aways and I love you guys so much.

Uncle Scott, what I will always remember about Uncle Scott is his kindness, gentleness, and love for his family. He always had a smile on his face and was a good sport of any shenanigans Aunt Eva and I got into. He was also the first person to introduce me to the magic of Metallica. I am forever grateful for knowing Uncle Scott and pray that his memory never falters for all who knew him. 
All my love,
Jennifer

My heart goes out to Eva, Sydney and Zack.  Everyday, I mean everyday, I would see a man that loved his family.  The smiles he'd give Eva were so sweet.  Scott never raised his voice but calmly explained or expressed a situation.  He was selfless, he had a heart of gold.  Everyday when I checked on him, I would caIl him "BRO" and he would give me a knuckle punch and call me "Bro-ette".  Scott I miss you.  I know where you are, and heaven it is.  Thank you, Bro.  Go Chiefs.

I thank God everyday for bringing Sydney into my life & having the opportunity to become so close with her & the Baughman family. I am even more blessed to have gotten the chance to know Scott for the sweet, goofy & loving person he is. His great love for the Chiefs & his family is one that will never be forgotten. Anyone that stepped in his house he treated like family & anyone he interacted with he treated like a long time friend. There is not a single second that passes that someone will not be thinking of you Scott! You are missed heavily & loved more than you will ever know. Give JoJo & Rocket hugs & kisses for all of us <3

His kindness, generosity, and warmth touched everyone who knew him. He had a way of making people feel valued and loved, and his presence will be deeply missed.

These photos capture how my dad looked at his family with such love and kindness in his eyes, but he looked at us this way all of the time, not just for a photograph. He would do anything to help anyone who needed it, without thinking twice or expecting anything in return. My dad was a humble man and he never bragged or cared about materialistic things. The things that he valued were the simple pleasures of life. Grilling on the weekends. Bringing my mom her coffee in the morning. Being his jokester and playful self with my family. His heart was too pure and good for this world. He is worth more than all the riches in the world and will never be replaced. I love and miss him dearly.

In a world where we are asked to "be kind" and to "be better," Scott surpassed that - he was "the best." He was a hardworking family man who loved his family with his whole heart and made sure they wanted for nothing. They knew they could count on him. Even in times of relapses, he'd bring his mother-in-law (my mom) her morning coffee. Such a patient and giving heart. He loved swimming, watching Royals baseball and Chiefs football games. His laughter was hearty and his smile genuine. Scott, we are going to miss you bunches! You knew we all loved you. Rest in Peace, dear kind soul.

Scott was like a second dad to me. How lucky I am to have known such a selfless man. Always put others first and never thought twice about it. You will be so missed. I love you so much & hope you’re dancing to the best tunes in heaven. Scott the Man, forever!

Scott will be truly missed by everyone that loved him. He was always willing to lend a hand. I'll miss his laughter, easy going personality and the stories he would tell. Just knowing that he knew he was loved makes me smile.

Uncle Scott was one of the kindest, most patient souls to be on this Earth. He loved his wife and kids with all he had and I wish he left notes on how to be that person. He loved his music, mostly heavy metal, and I remember listening to Pantera with him in the truck as he drove me around. He was a great cook, a great dad to his dogs and always loving to my Grandma. The world is a little less bright without his smile. My love to Eva, Zack and Sydney.

To the man who loved his family unconditionally, I send love and prayers to the Baughman family. We continue to remember Scott by his hardworking, kind, passionate, and down to earth personality I know we will all miss. He was a man that did whatever he could for everyone around him to make them happy, and we will continue to remember him that way. We will never forget the memories we have with him and hold them a little closer to our hearts now. We love you Baughman Family!

Being a close friend of Scott’s daughter, I got to know him as the amazing man he is. Every time I got to talk to Scott he always was sweet, caring & you could genuinely tell you had a place in his heart. He is the definition of a perfect man & will be carried on through the most amazing of memories. I’m so grateful I could share a part of this lifetime with Scott & his family. Words could not describe how loved & missed he will be. He makes loving him more than easy, Scott hung the moon <3

Dear Family,

Please accept my very sincerest condolences.

As many of us know, losing a loved one or close one is very hard and painful, but have you ever wondered if your loved one will ever live again?

Please allow me to show you a verse in the Bible, Acts 24 : 15 which in short says : “there is going to be a resurrection”. 

Believe it or not, we will be able to see our loved ones again; but you may ask yourself, what good is it to live again if we will still suffer? 

Well, gods word promises us in Revelation 21 : 4 that pain and suffering will be no more, “death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.“

What wonderful promises god has for us! This shows that he truly cares for us and loves us.

I hope this message may comfort you a little in times of grief and for more info we invite you to visit the website jw.org

To the Baughman Family,
Condolences on the loss of your beloved husband and father. We will continue to pray for your family and hope for brighter days with memories of Scott to comfort you.
Sincerely,
Liza & Tim Maakestad
