Scott Carl Tobias
Scott Carl Tobias, 63, of Battle Creek, Michigan, passed away on April 7, 2026. He was born on September 30, 1962, in Lansing, Michigan, to Lloyd Lee and Joyce Ellen (Sevenski) Tobias.
Scott was truly a jack of all trades, known for his strong work ethic and dedication. He built a career in plumbing, where his skill and determination led him to the role of Supervisor after many years of hard work. More than anything, Scott took pride in providing for and caring for those he loved.
Scott met the love of his life, Lynn, at a softball game, and the two quickly fell in love. They shared many wonderful years of marriage filled with laughter, loyalty, and companionship.
He will be remembered for his quick wit and unmistakable sense of humor. Scott was a devoted sports fan who loved golf, softball, and bowling, and he had a special passion for NASCAR. He faithfully cheered for the Dallas Cowboys and Florida State.
Music was another joy in his life, with tastes ranging from Elvis Presley to Nickelback to country legends like Toby Keith and Johnny Cash. He was especially known for his “golf playlist,” a carefully chosen set of songs that, no matter what, had to be played every time he hit the course with his brother Tim.
Scott had a love for classic Western movies and the idea of the cowboy way of life. He also had a deep appreciation for vintage and classic cars and enjoyed working on them whenever he could. A devoted animal lover, Scott had a special place in his heart for dogs.
Though he was not overly affectionate, Scott showed his love in steadfast and meaningful ways – through acts of service, quiet devotion, and always being there when someone needed a helping hand. Whether it was fixing a car, pet sitting, or lending his time and skills, he never hesitated to help others. He was also known for the special nicknames he gave to those he loved, each one a reflection of his unique bond with them.
Scott was preceded in death by his parents, Joyce Cords and Lloyd Tobias, and his son, Jason Pompey.
He is lovingly remembered by his devoted wife, Lynn Tobias; his children, Scotty Tobias, Jonna Tobias, Matthew Tobias, Dustin Tobias, and Tina (Joshua) Gillespie; his daughter-in-law, Erica Pompey; his siblings, Steve Tobias, Tim Tobias, and Larry Cords II; his stepfather, Larry Cords Sr; his many grandchildren; his beloved nieces and nephews; his cherished dogs, Samuel and Peanutty Tobias; as well as his granddogs, grandkitties, and many dear friends.
A celebration of life will take place at a later date. Kempf Family Funeral and Cremation Services is honored to care for the Tobias family during this time.
