Mr. Scott Henry Wise was born to the union of Charles Eugene Wise, Sr. and Freddie Jean Johnson Wise Harrell on August 15, 1949 in Steubenville, Ohio. He departed this earthly life for life eternal on Wednesday, March 16, 2022 at his home. He was 72 years of age.
Mr. Wise confessed Christ as his personal Lord and Savior and was a member of St. John AME Church for forty-five plus years. A devout and active member, he served in many areas to include: Trustee Protem, Sons of Allen, Lay Organization and Choir member.
He met, fell in love and became a partner in holy matrimony to the love of his life, Linda M. Wise. Their union was blessed with a son, Justin.
Mr. Wise was a true family man who cherished the time spent with his loved ones. A very active member of the community, he cared for others and their well being. He showed compassion, respect and understanding to everyone regardless of their situation. He never met a stranger and was often called “Uncle Scott” by many of the youth. He was seen as a father figure to those who did not have one in their home. He will be truly missed.
He was a retired executive from Aflac following many years of dedicated service. Among many of his major accomplishments, he was the first African American to serve on the Columbus Airport Commission.
In his leisure, Mr. Wise enjoyed playing golf and watching football. His favorite teams were the Atlanta Falcons, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Ohio State Buckeyes.
