Karl "Scott" Simpson, 62, Hamilton, MO., passed away at his home in Hamilton, MO., on November 26, 2025.

Scott was born on December 10, 1962, in Chillicothe, MO., to William Leroy Simpson and Sharon Ann (Howerton) Simpson Schneiter.  He graduated from the Southwest R-I School, Ludlow, MO., in 1981.  Scott worked many years as a heavy equipment operator. Scott honorably served his country in the Army and Army Reserves

Scott was a family man with a heart of gold, and deep love for his family and many friends.  He loved the simple things in life:  Sunday dinner at his Mom's, spending time with his family and his deep-faith and love for the Lord.  Scott's soul purpose for the last 10 years was the protection and raising of his grandson, Jaxen.  He was an outdoorsman and fisherman---his favorite place to fish was the sandy banks of the Grand River with a fire and sounds of nature.  He loved to mushroom hunt his favorite spots yearly.  Driving down the country roads dear to his heart and being one with the outdoors was special to him.  He was a great storyteller of the many adventures he had been thru in his life-so many it would fill a book.  His hobbies included metal detecting, drawing, and Bible study.  He will be missed so much by his family and friends. Scott was a member of the Apostolic Lighthouse Church, Hamilton.
