Michael "Scott" Durkin

Born on October 11, 1969, in Houston, TX. Scott was the son of Michael & Patsy Durkin. He grew up in Lexington, TX and attended Southwestern University, originally under a Music scholarship, where he graduated with a degree in Business.

On June 23rd, 2001, he married Kimberly Kay Rankin, beginning a loving partnership that lasted more than 25 years. Together they built a beautiful life centered around family, friends, music, sports, and dogs.

Scott dedicated over 30 years to his career in Home and Auto insurance, providing clients with security and peace of mind as a managing partner for Nationwide and DMC Insurance. Colleagues and friends admired his compassion and integrity, in both personal and professional capacities.

Those who knew Scott will remember him as caring, generous, and a joy to be around. He was known for his witty humor, giving nature, and strong work ethic. No favor was ever turned down. He was a loyal friend, a fierce advocate, and a gracious host. He loved family game night, playing guitar, attending his kids’ games and activities, country dancing, and taking trips to the beach. His skills as a grill master, haunted house creator, and holiday decoration installer were unmatched.

Some of the family’s favorite family memories include him playing the guitar for them, singing Johnny Cash and Elvis Presly as a bedtime lullaby.

Above all else, Scott was devoted to his family. He cherished every minute spent with each of them, as well as his three fur babies, Sherlock, Nova, and ZuZu.
