Scott Michael Ash, age 55 of Sugarcreek Township, passed away suddenly Friday, April 24, 2020 at home. He was born December 3, 1964 in Omaha, Nebraska to Jerome and Mary Ash.
Scott proudly served his country in the United States Air Force for 20 years. He retired with the rank of Master Sergeant. In his civilian capacity he continued to work for the Air Force as a photographer, even traveling with the Chief of Staff for 10 years. Most recently he worked at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base Public Affairs office.
If the measure of a man is in the lives he’s touched, then Scott was one of the greatest. He blessed his family and friends with immense generosity, compassion, humor and creativity; and enriched the lives of everyone who was lucky enough to have known him. His selflessness was beyond compare…a true unsung hero. He will be greatly missed.
Scott is survived by his wife of over 30 years, Lisa; his mother; his sister, Lynnette (Randy) Dunn; sister-in-law, Ruth Juechter; brothers-in-law, Dan (Susan) Juechter, Adam (Christine) Juechter & Andrew Juechter; father-in-law, Kenneth (Kay) Juechter; mother-in-law, Barbara (Victor) Dominski; nieces & nephews, Tristan, Morgan, David, Dianna, Jack, Leah, & Kyle; and many other loving friends & family members.
He is preceded in death by his father.

I didn’t get to know Scott as well as I’d have liked, but I knew him well enough to know he was good people.
World is a little colder without you.
Rest in Peace, bro x
I remember Scott as a giver. A giver of his time, his talent, his love and himself. He was an Air Force photojournalist, a graduate of the program at Syracuse University who served his country proudly. I cannot recall anytime he talked about himself. It was always him helping others in their jobs and in their lives. I and his many friends will miss him. My prayers go to his family and his legion of friends who love and will miss him. Ken Hackman
