Scott Hamilton Obituary

Scott Edward Hamilton of Blanchard, Michigan

Passed away suddenly at his home on Sunday, August 4, 2024. He was 52 years old. Scott Edward Hamilton was born on July 22, 1972, in Saginaw, Michigan to the late Lois Ann Upton. As a young boy, his mother passed away and he was raised by his grandparents Henry and Evelyn Upton. He attended Bridgeport Public Schools and later in life proudly achieved obtaining his GED. When Scott was a young boy, his uncle took him under his wing and taught him the essentials of being a mechanic. The jack of all trades and master of none, Scott worked throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region as a mechanic, heavy equipment mechanic, and builder. He was the father of two beautiful children, Mikayla and Tanner Hamilton, and was proud of all their accomplishments. An avid outdoorsman, Scott found peace and tranquility fishing and camping. He loved and had a passion for vegetable gardening, especially his pepper plants, the hotter the pepper the better. Scott created some of the best seasonings with his peppers. He held a special place in his heart for his dogs, Milo and Cane.

Surviving are a daughter and son: Mikayla Hamilton of Pinconning; Tanner Hamilton of St. Louis; a sister, Wendy Hartman of Mt. Pleasant; an uncle, Edward (Vicky) Upton of Saginaw; two nieces: Jessika (Mitchel) Doyle of Sanford; Jazmin (Ryan) Buckley of Mt. Pleasant; a nephew, Gabriel Hartman of Mt. Pleasant; a great-nephew, Jaxon Doyle; two great-nieces: Audree and Mariaha Doyle; and another great-nephew soon to arrive baby boy Buckley. Also surviving are many cousins and friends who’ve turned into family too numerous to mention but held closely to his heart.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Lois Ann Upton; grandparents, Henry and Evelyn Upton; and an uncle, Delbert Danks.
