Scot Schwartz Obituary

Lois and I are terribly saddened by his passing. Truly a joyful, wonderful person we will always remember.

Scot was a student of ours at Baker University, a colleague of our daughter, Gretchen, at Baldwin High and at Baker. We adored from our first meeting and very proud of him throughout his life. His friendship with Gretchen has been beautiful to witness all these years as has been his kindness to us. His courage through his illness was remarkable and we are proud and honored to have known and loved him in our lives. Love and sympathy to all who loved him. Drs. John & Susan Buehler

While on a Baker University Concert Choir spring tour in 1987, Scot and I met on a bus after he informed me I couldn´t recline my seat because of his long legs. After that first wacky conversation, I knew I´d made a friend for life. We were bonded by music and so many other things, and partnered for a short stint as professional wedding singers. For nearly 40 years, he was one of my most supportive friends. He was talented, kind, crazy funny, and one of the most amazing people I will ever know. I love you, my friend. And I will always miss you.

My love and prayers to the Schwartz family. He adored you all.

In am so sorry that Scot has slipped away. He was such a kind, talented person. I feel honored to have known him!! He will be missed by many!!

So shocking to hear the passing of this loving, smiling, kind, welcoming, cheerful giver of hope and compassion man. Short of words but we believe you are with your Heavenly Father. His hearty laughter, jokes and comments that were shared with my family is forever in our memory. Condolences to the family.

Scot was a lighthouse to so many of us-quietly steady, full of warmth, and always pointing others toward what truly matters. Through music, teaching, volunteering, and friendship, he reflected the light and love of Christ in ways that made hearts feel lighter and smiles shine brighter. In college, through the Zeta Chi Fraternity, he was a big brother to me; in life, he was a patient encourager who invested deeply and intentionally in friendships, lifting others up wherever he went with his joy and contagious laughter. Scot sang at my wedding, his incredible voice elevating the ceremony, and he went on to teach not only music but meaningful life lessons to countless students whose lives were impacted beyond measure because of him. I know his song continues now, as he sings with the angels in heaven. Gina

Lincoln once said, "It´s not the amount of years in one´s life. It´s the amount of life in one´s years." Dear Scot lived by that and made his mark. His laughter and wisdom were gifts for ev

Scot was wise, intelligent, charismatic, and brilliant. He brought smiles to everyone inside and outside of his choir classes. May he rest in peace.
