It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Scott Douglas MacAllister, who passed away on Saturday, November 30, 2019. Scott was born on January 14, 1952, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to the late David and Evelyn MacAllister. He graduated cum laude from Butler University in 1974, and was always proud to be a Butler Bulldog. Professionally, Scott served as the President and owner of MacPS, LLC. He was a brilliant and creative businessman who formed meaningful relationships with all of his clients. More than just a man behind a computer, Scott took every project to heart and deeply cared about each and every detail. He was an invaluable resource to his customers and consistently produced impeccable work.
Scott is survived and will be eternally missed by his beautiful wife of 41 years, Angela MacAllister. For those 41 years, Scott and Angie were inseparable and together created an enviable and wonderful life. Scott is passionately and wholeheartedly missed by his three daughters, Amanda MacAllister (Aymen Kaboub), Abbey (Stephen) Cornelius, Allison MacAllister (Jordan Kanter), and his beautiful and energetic and endlessly cute granddaughter, Norah MacAllister Kaboub. It goes without saying: Scott earned the Best Dad award from 1986 to 2019, and Best Grandpa award in 2019. He was a role model to all fathers and grandfathers who knew him.
Scott was the most loyal, dependable, kind, brilliant, witty, and loving man, husband, father, and friend. There is no other description. Everyone who was blessed to meet Scott has nothing but these words to share about him. He truly embodied what it meant to live a good and noble life. The endearing connections Scott was able to form with total strangers was out of this world. On the outside, Scott claimed to be shy and a "functioning introvert", but all those who knew him knew he never met a stranger or anyone to whom he couldn’t offer help or guidance.
In life, his greatest loves were his girls, including his wife, best friend, teammate, and partner of 41 years. Angie and Scott embodied marriage in all sense of the word. They worked together, raised children together, travelled together, and grew together, to form the most perfect union. Even through the hardest times, they remained steadfast and faithful partners.
To his daughters, Scott was beyond devoted. In his 34 short years of being a father, Scott did not miss a single event of his daughters’. From every game (rain or shine), from the biggest to the smallest event, Scott was present. He endlessly and freely shared his love for travel, cooking, and sports, through his storytelling or a surprise token of advice. And Scott offered the best advice. He strove to be perfect and precise and deliberate in all that he did, professionally and personally. He often succeeded, even if it meant a cost to himself. Scott was invariably there for his children, and each of them will miss his presence and support and guidance and love more than anyone can fathom.
Scott passed away unexpectedly after the most beautiful Thanksgiving with his family, where he prepared his best meal yet: the last meal all of us would share together as a family. He was able to complete his fatherly duties this year after walking his three daughters down the aisle to men whom he respected and trusted with his girls. Scott confidently believed in and supported each of his son-in-laws without judgment, and his devotion was redoubled and retripled after meeting his first grandchild. Scott was excited to meet many more grandchildren, and his legacy will endure and forever be shared with them.
We are indebted to him for giving all of us his 67 beautiful years, allowing us to know him, learn from him, and emulate him.
Scott truly was the best of the best. The world is lesser for his passing, and will miss him greatly.
