Scott Edward Bender, age 48, passed away at 4:40 p.m. on Thursday, July 15, 2021, at Vernon Health & Rehabilitation Center, Wabash.
Born March 23, 1973, in Peru, he was the son of Lawrence and Sue Cook Bender. His father survives, residing in Kokomo.

Scott was a graduate of Logansport High School.
He had been a resident for the past four years at Vernon Health and Rehabilitation Center in Wabash, where he became a member of their larger, extended family. Scott enjoyed kisses and hugs but he also loved trucks of all kinds: garbage, pickup, semi, dump, fire, you get the idea. His favorite foods were sausages, mandarin oranges, pepperoni pizzas and sweet tea.
Scott’s family deeply appreciated the care he received at Vernon in Wabash.
