Scott “Scotty” Frederick Brandt passed away on November 27, 2025 in Wichita, Kansas. Scott was born on September 4, 1965, in Farmington, Michigan.

Valuing loyalty and service, Scott proudly served in the Army, sparking a lifelong passion for aviation. Scott had a hard-working nature, and was known to rarely turn down the opportunity for overtime, an asset in the aviation industry. His humorous spirit, and keen observance of those around him, kept everyone laughing… and on their toes. Scott enjoyed fishing and watching football, especially cheering for the University of Michigan, while snacking on pistachios. He secretly loved cats and not-so-secretly loved movies and the band Rush.

Scott will be loved and remembered for all he was and all he “wanted to be”. He leaves behind a loving family who will miss him deeply. He is survived by his three daughters, Stephanie (Audrey) Brandt, Jennifer (Shane) VanRoyen, and Angela Brandt. He will forever be loved and remembered by his parents, Sonja and Ronald Brandt. His siblings, Holly (Bernie) Rehberg and Marc (Mary-Grace) Brandt will fondly remember their brother’s bright spirit, musical abilities and brotherly protection. He is also survived by two grandsons, Daniel VanRoyen and Iverson Brandt; five nieces, Emily, Audrey, Olivia, Ellie, and Lydia; and a nephew, Benjamin.

Scott’s memorial service will be at 10:00 am, Friday, December 5, 2025, at Kansas Veterans’ Cemetery, Winfield, KS.

Services in care of Downing & Lahey Mortuary – East Chapel.

  2. One of my favorite memories of Scott: When he was about 5 or 6, his ‘job’ was to change the towel in the bathroom. The towel bar was sort of close to the door. I could be showering or any other bathroom activities, and I would hear a creak of the door and a small hand and arm poked through to quickly grab the towel. Without a word, in came the hand and arm again to deposit a fresh one then the door would gently close. I tried hard not to laugh out loud!

  3. I have so many good memories about my brother, from going to his Thunderbird football games (yes mom, I can actually remember them! I hold on to that picture of Scott, Holly, me and the dog, Annie, at one of his games, like its my most prized possession), to him teaching me about football (and most importantly, how to throw a football), to teaching me how to drive a stick shift (in the mustang he was so proud of). He even, strangely, taught me how to wiggle my ears. Now, how he did that, I will never know but I clearly remember sitting in the kitchen and him asking me if I could do it. Some of my best memories of Scott were playing basketball in the backyard. We had a hoop mounted to the garage and we’d spend hours shooting. He taught me everything from rules, to dribbling, setting picks, to shooting free throws. My brother was my idol when I was growing up and even in our later years, I think I still wanted him to be proud of me. Most people don’t know it, but I’ve thought of him almost daily over the years. I have his (sometimes twisted) sense of humor, to the point that I’ll think of him any time I laugh and think to myself how much he would appreciate whatever it was that was making me laugh. He gave me one of the greatest gifts someone could ever give and he didn’t even know it. I will miss his sense of humor most. Rest in peace, brother. I miss you and I love you.

    • Remember gull lake of 2017? (I think 2017) And all of us playing settlers of Catan lol that was a core memory. I’m so happy I went and have a lot of pictures. I even got to drive his prized mustang from kc city all the way there! He wanted to stop like 2 hours out but I determined to go all the way. We had so many jokes and so much fun. I even remember thanksgiving at Holly’s when I was young young and us all playing football and him teaching me and you two being so competitive.

  5. Uncle “Seaweed”, thank you for filling our family with so much laughter. You were always willing to be silly, to play games, and to make us crack up with your quick wit. I will forever cherish the memory of you at Gull Lake, letting the kids cover you in seaweed (bleh!!) just to make all of us laugh. Thank you for your service, your humor, and the love you showed our family. I pray you are at peace now, resting in the presence of Jesus. We love you and miss you deeply.

    • I will also never forget playing Scattergories (definitely had to look up that spelling) in the early 2000s with our whole family. The prompt was to come up with a bug or insect that starts with the letter “N” – so I excitedly and proudly said that I put “nat”! Uncle Scott laughed and said “ohh honey, that is spelled with a G!” Doh! I haven’t misspelled that word since 😂

  6. I will always remember Uncle Scott as Uncle “Seaweed”. Lydia, Ben, and I looked forward to each year he was at Gull Lake, just excited with anticipation for his infectious laughter and entertainment. He was always so loving and patient with us, even though we were still under the age of 12 or so at the time so i’m sure the three of us were a lot to handle lol , I look forward to soon getting a seaweed tattoo to remember this forever!! I’m going to attach the picture on the timeline on here too (: Love you so much always Scott❤️❤️❤️

  7. I love you, Uncle Scott! I was trying to decide which memory to share, and like others have mentioned above, all of my memories have one common thread: your humor and silliness! You ALWAYS knew how to make anybody laugh and put a smile on their face. I remember the time you drove to our house in Westfield to surprise Nana and her seeing you walk in and her immediately sobbing and being so happy to see you. We were all always so happy to see you!! You will be so missed but we are finding comfort knowing you are telling jokes to Jesus!

  9. Love you so much, Uncle Scott! I remember when we were younger always laughing SOO much when you were around. Funny faces, quick quips, and I especially remember how much mom would be laughing and smiling too when you would visit. You brought so much fun and so many laughs. Thank you for shining your light! And thank you for letting the little kids cover you in seaweed at Gull Lake- it gave us older kids some free time from chasing the little tater tots and I know how much they loved it haha!!

    You will be greatly missed and I know you are resting peacefully with the Lord now. Sending you love and hugs <3

  10. I love the love that we shared. It was always him and I against the world. His sense of humor will be missed dearly and his smarts. He was always so intelligent and articulate. That’s what attracted me to him. I love and miss you Scotty!!
