Jeffrey Scott Lippincott was born in Ida Grove, IA on January 5, 1976, the son of Jeff and Deb (Horsley) Lippincott. He passed away Thursday, October 20, 2022 at Sacred Heart Hospital in Yankton.

Scott graduated from Armour High School in 1994. He earned his Associates Degree in Telecommunication from Mitchell Technical Institute. Scott has worked for Golden West Telecommunications since August of 2006.

Scott was united in marriage to Kim Baumiller on April 24, 2004 in Parkston. Two children were born to their union: Karlee and Jett.

Scott loved being with family, hanging out with friends, attending his children's sporting events, hunting, fishing and golfing. Most fall days you would find Scott in his tree stand waiting for the "big buck" that only seemed to appear on his trail cameras. He loved watching Hawkeye football on Saturday's and rooting for His Miami Dolphins on Sundays. Every September, Scott would go bear hunting with his family and friends in Wisconsin. Each year the group seemed to get bigger and the stories got better.

Scott enjoyed helping his dad with his construction company and looked forward to harvest each year with his father-in-law.

Scott was well known as Lippy to his high-school classmates. Whether it was honey, dad, Scott, Scotty or Lippy, everyone knew him with a smile on his face ready and willing to help anyone at anytime. Always giving and never asking. He had a way of making everyone feel like his best friend. He devoted everyday to being the best husband, father, son, brother, nephew, uncle and friend. He will be missed and remembered everyday.

Scott was a faithful member of Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Springfield and served as the church council secretary for several years. He became an active member of the Springfield Fire Department in February 2014 and served as their treasurer since 2018.
