Gary Scott Myers, "Scott" 56, of Middle Point passed away at 6:39 PM on March 14, 2020 at Van Wert Health Emergency Room.

Scott was a 1982 graduate of Vantage Career Center and attended Lincolnview High School. He went on to serve in the United States Air Force where he was stationed at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines.

Scott worked as a driver for Tecumseh before working for 3 Son's Towing, Hauling and Salvage. He was an avid drag car racer for Myers Racing. As an experienced mechanic, Scott would often rebuild engines and build cars for others. He also enjoyed building model cars. Known for his wicked sense of humor, he could always make you laugh, and never sugar coated what he had to say.
