He was born May 27, 1966 in Sturgis, son of Henry “Hank” and Bonnie (Reingardt) Chiddister.

For the past five years Scott was employed by the Actia Corporation in Elkhart as a engineering product manager.
Scott truly loved his home in Sherman Township where he had many future retirement plans. He was happiest while working on the property and had planted so many different fruit trees and berry bushes including apple trees, peach trees, pecan trees, blueberry, raspberry and honey berry bushes. He had a real appreciation for the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and shooting.

In accordance with his wishes cremation has taken place. A celebration of life of Scott Chiddister will be held at the family home at a later date to be announced.
