He grew up in Adrian, Mich., graduating from Adrian High School in 1982. Scott went on to receive his Bachelor of Arts degree from Alma College and became a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in 1986. Scott enjoyed a successful career in finance and accounting. He lived in Pebble Beach, Calif., for 16 years, retiring as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Starlight International. Prior, he was a finance officer for Clopay Corporation and Chiquita Banana in Cincinnati, Ohio, and a CPA for Price Waterhouse Coopers in Detroit, Mich.Scott was known for his quick wit and deadpan delivery. He enlivened Hickman Christmas gatherings with gag gifts and “joke” machines and enriched his work environments with humor. He’s also fondly remembered for his love of dogs, new technology, luxury cars and an endless sweet tooth, for which he was warmly referred to as the “cookie monster” by his niece. A former Eagle Scout himself, Scott volunteered with several scouting groups over the years and for the United Way of Monterey County and Monterey Bay Lab Rescue. On weekends, Scott could be found at the beach in Carmel with his chocolate lab, Brewer, and his beach friends and community. Scott is survived by his parents, David and Shelley Hickman, former longtime residents of Lenawee County and presently of Seattle, Wash., and his sister Julie Hickman Burg of Seattle and her family, husband Geoff Burg and children, Guy and Annabelle Burg. Scott was an active, doting uncle, ensuring that his nephew and niece will always be able to handle a good joke. Never one to seek attention, Scott requested no memorial service. He appreciated the support of all who helped make these last two years more comfortable for him and his family.
