Scott David Van Hoorebeke

On Friday October 9, 2026, at 12:36 p.m. Scott David Van Hoorebeke, 60 years old of Terre Haute, Indiana gained his Angel wings and went HOME to be with his earthly father and his brother Brian. Scott was loved by so many; he touched and enriched so many lives whom he met in his short 60 years of life.

Scott lived in a world that can be confusing and difficult, he had to navigate hurdles that most people will never understand. He had to exist in a world that didn’t know how to support him.

Scott was born in Illinois to George and Joyce Van Hoorebeke on February 20, 1966.

Scott attended Petit Park School then went to Bona Vista Programs in Kokomo where he worked and lived in the group home for 40 years.

Scott loved going to the Special Olympics until one day he said he was an, “Old Man” and he did not attend anymore. Scott loved both Godly music and a variety of other music, especially Michael Jackson. Scotts main passion was for Super Heros, with the Incredible Hulk being his favorite.

Scott faced challenges every single day that required a special kind of bravery. He led a beautiful, heroic life just by being exactly who he was OUR Super Hero.

Scott was preceded in death by his father, George Van Hoorebeke and his brother Brian Van Hoorebeke.

Scott is survived by his mother, Joyce Van Hoorebeke, sisters: Lisa (Charles Mark) Downs, Amy (David) Woodard; aunts: Karen (Tom) Goyins of Ocala, Florida and Carol Perak of Largo, Florida; nephews: Curtis (Amanda) Korby, Jacob Korby (Katherine Waymire); nieces: Laura (Vince) Rivers, Kaylen Woodard and Kasen Woodard; great-nephews: Ethan Korby, Wesley Korby and Ben Rivers and a great niece: Katherine Perry; cousins: Heidi Favia, John-Paul Carter (Monique), Russell, John and Doug Hesseling.
