James S. Patterson

James Scott Patterson, 64, of Findlay, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 24, 2026, surrounded by family.

He was born July 19, 1962, to James “Jim” and Linda (Tate) Patterson, both of whom preceded him in death.

Scott is survived by his wife Tammy; his son, Josh; step granddaughters, Lauren, Hanna, and Kaylen; sister, Lisa; brothers, Joe, and Chris; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is also survived by his beloved dogs, Daisy Mae and Finn.

Scott was a friendly and outgoing man who never met a stranger and made many friends throughout his life. He had a way of making sure that whenever you were with him, you were going to have a good time. Scott fancied himself a bit of a ladies’ man and enjoyed making people laugh. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, and if someone needed something, Scott would gladly give them the shirt off his back without expecting anything in return.

Scott graduated from Findlay High School in 1981. Throughout the years, he held many different jobs. He especially enjoyed trucking, where he appreciated the freedom of the open road and the time spent behind the wheel. Scott loved being outdoors, enjoying the sunshine, and getting to know the customers he met through his work.

May he rest in peace and find comfort in the Lord’s loving embrace.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to the nurses and staff at Bridge Hospice Care Center and Blanchard Valley Hospital for the wonderful care and compassion they provided to Scott and his family.

Per Scott’s wishes, there will be no funeral service. He will be laid to rest by his family at a later date. HUFFORD FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 1500 Manor Hill Rd., Findlay, (419-422-1500) is honored to serve Scott’s family.

Memorial contributions may be made in his honor to Bridge Home Health and Hospice, 15100 Birchaven Lane, Findlay, 45840.
