2021. He was born to the late Michael Regitz, Sr. and Jean Thorne on September 22, 1973 in
Houston, TX. Scott came of age during the 1980s, arguably the greatest era of cinema and
technology which shaped his formative years and resulted in a love of movies, video games,
and skateboarding.
Scott and his brother Mike moved to Tulsa with their mother and attended grade school at St.
Pius X and high school at Bishop Kelley. Being the middle child of a blended family was surely a
complicated position to navigate but it ensured Scott honed his skills as accomplice or
playmate, and he remained a big kid at heart for the rest of his life. Speaking of hearts, you
couldn’t have found a bigger one. Scott’s capacity for kindness, compassion, and forgiveness
was unparalleled. He was a sensitive soul and didn’t have a mean-spirited bone in his body.
This trait made him acutely perceptive to the pain and suffering of others and he went out of his
way to help others feel welcome and comfortable. Scott could be both serious and silly, and
enjoyed making others laugh and feel good about themselves. He was a mathematics and
computer wiz graduating with a B.S. from Oklahoma State University (go Cowboys!) with an
impressive career and range of professional experience in IT.
Throughout his life, Scott had often been described as a worrywart and introvert, but there was
an outgoing, cheeky, playfulness under the surface. Scott recently bloomed into a social
butterfly with his beloved Divorced and Over 40 friend group and appointed himself as the
“Social Director.” Here he made countless friendships and deep personal connections that
profoundly enriched his life and left an indelible mark on the lives of his friends and confidants.
In addition to his close-knit group of friends, Scott is survived by his daughter and love of his life,
Hannah Regitz, his step-son Christian Barrett, his mother Jean Thornbrugh and his siblings:
Mike Regitz, Jr., Kim Regitz Rawls, Amy Casey, and Carrie Thornbrugh. The kindness, love,
and friendship that Scott gave throughout his life will be carried by all of us who were lucky
enough to have known him.
