Scott Lyford Kirkpatrick

My favorite two memories of Scott were as kids we would venture out into the backyard, which seems like a huge huge vast land when we were kids, and we would sit under Mrs. Kinkles maple tree and we would eat cottage cheese and potato chips. I don’t know how we discovered that we both like that combination but we shared some great memories as kids just sitting under the tree and eating our snack on Beautiful summer days. My other memory was on some days after school we would make our way down to the Waupun Leader News office where we would enjoy chocolate milk and play time with the Linotype machines. Then we would watch the massive machines print out the newspaper in amazement. I’m sure you’re enjoying the view and the chocolate milk my friend but your presence will always be missed. RIP....

It was an honor to know Scott. I was his nurse at The Villa at Middleton Village while he was there for rehab. I was so inspired by his story and his dedication to return home to his family. My life will forever be changed having known him. He was a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with Carrie and his kids..

I only knew Scott for the past 2 years but his impact on me and the city of Madison will last forever. In 2016 I asked Scott to join the Board of Madison Dental Initiative. Within 6 months he had helped us re-brand into More Smiles WI and he and the team at WisNet helped us reshape the scope of our message as a non-profit dental provider. Scott was one of the kindest, smartest, most insightful people I have ever known. I am a better person for having met him and my heart is broken that my time was so short with him. My prayers go out to Scott's family and please know that Scott will always be remembered for the impact he had on the world.

Carrie, Carley and Riley, you have all been in our daily thoughts and prayers over the last year and particularly the last few days. The love, strength and perseverance you have all shown as a family is a testament to the bond you have and your foundation in family and Christ. We will continue to pray for strength and healing and all that lies ahead. It's clear to see that Scott/Dad was an amazing, loving, generous man - you're all mirrors of his life. Sending much love to all of you. Babs Dunaway & Family

I was next door neighbors with Scott and Waupun, We were the same age. I have many fond memories of Scott. Playing with our Wild West action figures in the backyard, getting together a game of Horse, Kick the Can, or kick ball with our brothers and sisters and other neighborhood kids, or a board game on the porch on a rainy day. I was always jealous that he learned how to master the unicycle and I could not. It was a very hard day for me when he moved to Madison. God bless you, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
