Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Scott Raymond Rinker, Age 59, of Shawnee Kansas, passed away April 28, 2020 at home from Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Funeral arrangements are still pending.
Mr. Rinker was born January 3, 1961 in Kansas City, MO.
Scott had a lifelong love of music, and was a proficient beginning guitar player by the age of 9. More recently, for the past six years, Scott enjoyed playing in his band, Farm Sickle Stick, which performed at many venues in the Kansas City area. Scott also enjoyed nature, birds and wildlife, and he and his family made nearly yearly camping trips to the mountains of Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado or South Dakota. In October of 1992, Scott graduated at the top of his class from the National Aviation Academy in St. Petersburg, Florida. Scott was devoted to both his son Scott Michael and wife of 20 years, Misty, who he lovingly cared for in her sickness until her passing in March of 2019.
He was preceded in death by father, Clyde Rinker and wife, Misty Huskey.
He is survived by son, Scott Michael Rinker; mother, Maurene Rinker; brother, Greg Rinker; and sisters, Mary Moore and Martha Walker.
Maurine, and family, please accept my deepest sympathy on Scott’s passing. I have many fond memories of the Amarillo Grill!! My son, Steve, was a friend of Scott’s. And, Scott would occasionally visit me when I was working at Blessings Abound.
In my limited time knowing Scott, he was truly one of the nicest people I’ve met. I didn’t know him until my nonprofit, LYRIC of LIFE, was able to help when Misty died. From that point, Scott and I stayed in touch. What’s amazingly difficult to understand is that soon after her passing, Scott became sick and fought hard for a year to beat leukemia. Then came a tumor. Unbelievable. I was able to visit him, son Scott Michael, and brother Greg just a few weeks before Scott left us. To Scott and Misty’s families, these losses are unimaginable and I’m deeply sorry.
