Livonia: July 30, 2017 Scott unexpectedly passed at the age of 52. Scott is survived by his wife of 28 years, Lori (DeGroat) Bishopp and his sons, Derek and Zach Bishopp, all of Livonia. His parents, Edward & Sandra Bishopp and his brother Troy (Corrine) Bishopp all of Deansboro, NY. Also survived by nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Scott began his journey through life in Deansboro, growing up on the farm Scott was always busy. From bailing hay to trapping raccoon he lived in the moment and never left a task unfinished. He enjoyed doing body work on cars and creating knick knacks in the barn. Right there beside him was his brother Troy whom he grew up with, sharing time on the snowmobile to beating each other up over who could drive the tractor. Scott loved his early life and would remember it fondly, sharing memories of his time on the football field to causing shenanigans in the town. Scott’s mother and father, Ed and Sandy, raised him and taught him everything he needed to succeed in life and build lasting relationships. Scott would leave the small town of Deansboro to achieve a degree in electrical engineering. Scott married the love of his life and his other half in Lori. He cherished her and began a life with her that is nothing short of magic. Even though he graduated with an electrical engineering degree his love for all computer programming took root and he soon made a career of it. Scott was never the one to accept being average as he rose through the ranks wherever he worked. Gaining knowledge and spreading that to all he managed. Scott settled down on a farmhouse that will always need work. He loved to tinker and took pride in being a handyman that could fix anything. Getting away from the computer screen Scott enjoyed to fish and spend time with his family. He invested everything he had in his wife and kids, he was a loving husband and father. One of his favorite things to do was take his family on a vacation, every year, to the beach and bask in the sun with those he loved the most. Scott lived with his emotions on his sleeve and wouldn’t be scared to tell you his opinion. He was the first to laugh and the last to leave you when you were in pain. Scott Bishopp is a great man who touched many lives, made many smile, and leaves behind a love that will be felt and cherished for all who knew him.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Please know that we are all thinking of you!
With heartfelt sympathy on your unexpected loss.
Scott and I were partners working at Xelus. He was a joy to work with and I always appreciated his honesty, dedication and care for the team around him. I love the above quote “Scott lived with his emotions on his sleeve and wouldn’t be scared to tell you his opinion.” He was smart and hard working and you always know where he stood. I’ve missed working with him since we parted ways for different companies. He loved his family and always talked about his boys. The last time I saw him he talked my ear off about how they were doing and what their plans were.
My sincere condolences to the family and all his many friends. So very young.
My sincerest condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May your memories make you smile and may god heal your hearts!
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Sandy, Ed and the entire Bishopp family. Scott will be missed by many…may he rest in peace. Love, Weasie & Claude Earley
My heart and prayers go out to all of you. Scott always had a nice word and smile. I am blessed to have had the chance to be able to call him a friend.
I am saddened by this news. My prayers and love to the family. Even though I had never met Scott or his family, they are a part of my family and I feel sad for them all.
Again love and prayers to you all at this sad time.
Oh, Lori and “boys” – we are stunned and deeply, deeply saddened. What a lovely man. What a terrible loss. Know that we are keeping you close in our hearts and thoughts. -Maggie and Donnie Brown
Troy and family… I am devastated to hear about Scott. I will always remember him sliding down “the hill” when we were kids. I send my deepest sympathies and pray that you find peace and joy in the memories.
Fondly, Ellen Klein Posa
My thoughts and prayers are with the Bishop family. I’m so very sorry for your loss.
I am so saddened to hear of Scott’s unexpected passing. I grew up with a Scott and Troy and they are a very fond memory of my childhood. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers to his wife and children and to Troy, Sandy, and Ed.
To the Bishopp family – my heart goes out to you. Please know how much his work family adored him. I’m sure it’s no surprise given what you know about your husband & dad. When he would pop down to Manhattan for meetings, he would stop by & update me on the latest sports & college quests, how long it took him to mow his lawn or his latest family vacation. It was obvious how much he loved you all. Whoever wrote this obituary truly expressed what we all know of him. It was truly an honor to know him.
I wish you peace
I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you.
Lori, so very sorry to hear this. You guys have been great neighbors. If there is anything at all that Janis and I can do let us know..
