Walter Scott Hardy was born February 8, 1957, to Jimmy and JoAnn Miller Hardy in Nacogdoches, TX. Scott’s father served as pastor of Bryan Street Baptist Church in Lamesa, Tx. The family moved to Lubbock in 1968 when he accepted the position of pastor at Melonie Park Baptist church.

Scott graduated from Monterey High School in 1975 and attended Texas Tech University for a short time before moving to East Texas where he met his bride, Mary Marceline (Marcy) Wilson. They met and were married at Bethel Baptist Church in New Caney TX, on December 3, 1977, and enjoyed 47 years of marriage. His plumbing career began in East Texas in 1977 and in 1978 they welcomed their first daughter, Jennifer. They then moved to Lubbock, TX where he began his 42 years as a Master Plumber Contractor. They completed their family, welcoming their second daughter, Amy in 1981. He was the best Girl Dad!

Scott began his journey of officiating football in 1998 and continued until 2022. Scott had the opportunity to officiate youth through college football, where he made many lifelong friends and mentored many young men. He loved all his years on the field. After being retired for several years from plumbing, he was hired to build a plumbing program at Frenship High School in 2022 and he taught for two years.

Scott was happiest through adventures with his loved ones. He loved to snow ski, ride motorcycles, four wheelers, being on the football field, driving “Taupe Floats” (boat) on the lake, and spending time with his family, especially his 6 grandkids. He was the biggest kid and enjoyed all life had to offer. He loved BIG! He invested in others and had a servant’s heart in every area of his life.

Scott is survived by wife, Marcy Hardy; children, Jennifer Runion, Amy (Michael) Carper; grandchildren, Brooke Hardy, Wezly Carper, Jett Runion, Riley Carper, Jake Carper, Jentry Runion; sibling, Mark (Bonnie) Hardy, Michael (Barbara) Hardy, Jan (Freddy) Baker; and numerous nephews and nieces.

Marcy, I was sorry to hear of Scott’s passing and will be praying for you and your family. He was always a joy to be around. Very mindful of issues when helping with my plumbing and communicated everything on his mind. He was a fun and caring man and will be greatly missed by those who know him well. Christ sustains us and will be with you through all the days ahead. Love because of Christ, Susie

I have mentioned (on Facebook) many times throughout the last couple of days, and to many of the siblings, and family how much Scott and his precious family meant to David and I. We have so many wonderful memories of Scott working with the little boys called Tree Climbers @Melone Park, ski trips, couple's retreats, and then during David's bout with cancer, He would call and say "Is Melton there"? (David Melton Jaquess) He was such an encouragement to David during his last few months. Now they are both celebrating today in the arms of Jesus!!!

We are thinking of you.

My heart goes out to the family of Scott Harty. Every thought it’s been a few years since I saw Scott. I always enjoy catching up. We meet in high school playing football. He would always put a smile on your face. Dennis

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Scott was doing his football officiating, Metro Mechanical just finishing a plumbing project @ the Rock House, I was officiating B-ball @ Tech. We got to talking about moving from player to reffing, I asked him how he handled football pile-ups, when players would get in an extra jab while going for the ball. He said that as he approached a pile of players, he would shout, “What time is it fellows.” Since players never know the time, they would pause and Scott could break up the fight! We loved officiating, and he was full of anecdotes. Lawson

Marci we were saddened to hear of Scott’s passing. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Mark and Evelyn Gibbs-long ago neighbors on 89th

We are praying for everyone during this difficult time.

Dearest Marcy, Jennifer, Amy and all of you dear family, Our hearts are so broken for your loss in that big teddy bear guy we all knew and loved! What a very special man he was! Scott was large in size and even bigger in love. Rarely could a man be found that loved his wife and girls like Scott Hardy! From when we first met you guys way back in the early 80’s, Scott’s love for his beautiful little Marcy was overflowing. He was absolutely crazy about you girl! And his love and pride in those two precious girls was right there as well. We never had the opportunity to see him around his grandchildren but his words always spoke of such joy and pride in each one. When we loose someone as big as Scott was to so many, there is a big big void but we have no doubt that his big sweet heart will carry on through all those who knew and loved him best. May God comfort your hearts in knowing that this sweet man is with The One Who made him who he was, Who knew him completely and Who loved him the best! Our sincerest love and respect, Jeff & Celeste Dannemiller, Cody WY

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
