Detroit, Michigan - It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John Henry Scott Sr., affectionately known as Johnny, on September 23, 2023, in Detroit, Michigan. Born on March 31, 1957, in Detroit, Michigan, Johnny's life was a testament to tradition, family, and unwavering dedication.

A retired Chrysler worker, Johnny spent over 30 years committed to his craft, demonstrating a strong work ethic and a steadfast commitment to providing for his loved ones. His legacy is one of hard work, perseverance, and the value of a job well done.

Johnny's warm and giving nature endeared him to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was a loving father to his sons, John H. Scott Jr. and Jeremiah B. Scott, and a proud grandfather to Walter Boulding and Jasmine Boulding. Johnny's love and guidance will forever live on in the hearts of his family.

In his leisure time, Johnny found solace in fixing cars and spending cherished moments with his family. His presence brought joy and laughter to those around him, and his memory will forever be treasured.

Friends and family are invited to pay their respects and honor Johnny's life at the James H Cole Blvd Chapel, located at 2624 W Grand Blvd in Detroit, Michigan, on Saturday, October 7th, at 11 am. A family hour will precede the service at 10:30 am, providing an opportunity for loved ones to gather and share their memories of Johnny. Following the funeral service, a solemn intermittent/cemetery ceremony will take place at Detroit Memorial Park-West, situated at 25062 Plymouth Rd, Redford, Michigan.

The compassionate team at James H Cole Blvd Chapel in Detroit, Michigan, is entrusted with the arrangements, ensuring that every detail is handled with care and respect.

During this time of mourning, let us remember Johnny's brothers, Ralph Scott and Lester Scott, his sisters, Mable Scott and Willie Scott, and his extended family and friends who supported and loved him throughout his life. Johnny is now reunited with his beloved parents, Eva Scott and Frank Scott, who preceded him in death.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Scott family during this difficult time. May the memories of Johnny's life bring comfort and strength to all who mourn his loss.
