MILLINGTON – Mr. Scott Bassett, age 69, was called home by his Lord and Savior on the evening of Thursday, November 20, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

Scott was born in Flint, Michigan, on February 17, 1956, to Patrick & Leah (Revesz) Bassett. He grew up alongside his siblings and graduated from Millington High School with the class of 1974. On October 16, 1976, he wed the love of his life, Barbara “Barb” Rohde. Together they shared countless memories, raised their three sons, and celebrated 49 years of marriage. He was a longtime member of St. Paul Lutheran Church. He spent most of his career working in logistics and most recently worked at Jan’s Dry Cleaners as a delivery driver, which he enjoyed because it included traveling and talking with people. Scott was a true outdoorsman and enjoyed all that the Michigan outdoors had to offer such as: hunting pheasant, fishing, and traveling all over Northern Michigan especially going to Mackinac Island, and the Mackinac Bridge. He was an avid fan of Bob Seger and attended many of his concerts and one could often find him singing one of his tunes. Football was an important part of Scott’s life as he notably is one of the five generations of Bassett’s that have played for the Millington Cardinals football team. Further, he enjoyed attending and watching Michigan Wolverines football games, Detroit Lions games and he enjoyed attending car shows, especially Autorama in Detroit. Scott also served the Millington community along with Jim Saeger putting on the Millington Summer Festival and Parade for over 15 years. He loved animals, especially his golden retriever, Brutus, and new kitten, Sasha. Above all, Scott loved his family and being a grandfather to his grandchildren. He will be so deeply missed.

He is forever loved by his wife, Mrs. Barb Bassett; sons, Bryan (Michelle) Bassett, Derek (Christina) Bassett, and Brett (Amberle) Bassett; grandchildren, Joseph, William, and Evelyn; mother, Mrs. Leah Bassett; siblings: Randy (Nancy) Bassett, Gary Bassett, Janeen (Jim) Witmer, Chris (Rochelle) Bassett, and Jody (Dan) McCoy; as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, extended family, and friends.

Scott was preceded in death by his father, Patrick Bassett; sister, Janice Knapp; father-and-mother-in-law, Richard & Linda Rohde; brother-in-law, Clayton Damm; and his grandparents.
