Scotty Joe Vanderpool

June 24, 1946 ~ April 18, 2024
Scotty Joe Vanderpool, 77, died April 18, 2024, surrounded by his family. Born on June 24, 1946, to the late Eugene and Grace Vanderpool in Danville, KY. Scotty was the youngest of four brothers who preceded him in death Mac (Jackie), Gene (Bonnie), and Jerry (Becky) Vanderpool.
He graduated from Frankfort High School in 1964.
Scotty proudly served his country in the Marine Corps, completing three tours in Vietnam from 1966 to 1970 and achieving the rank of Sergeant. After his military service, he pursued higher education, obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree from Georgetown College in 1973.
In 1969, Scotty married the love of his life, Judee, with whom he recently celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary on April 5, 2024. They established their home in Danville, where Scotty co-owned and managed Ruth and Vanderpool CPA & Accounting. His dedication to his profession and community was evident through his involvement as a City of Danville commissioner and his active membership at Lexington Avenue Baptist Church. His devotion to his church included being a Sunday School teacher, Deacon, and chairman of numerous committees.
Scotty’s impact on those around him was profound, and his warm heart and steadfast commitment to his family and community will be deeply missed. He leaves behind a legacy of service, compassion, and dedication that will be cherished by all who knew him.
His passion for farming and conservation was evident not only through his own farm, but his involvement with the KY Cattleman’s Association and other agricultural and conservation groups.

Judee, I’m so sorry to hear of Scotty’s passing. Sending love and prayers in these dark days.
I am sending prayers to Judy, the boys, and the grandchildren! I love you all, and will be with you, in spirit!! I am not sure I will be able to make it Wednesday, but I will certainly be thinking of you!!
Scotty was the best neighbor anyone could ever have. I will miss his positive attitude and the comfort I had knowing he and Judee were just beyond my back fence. He always arrived with a smile, and a willingness to help! and set the bar mighty high on being a good friend! My prayers for Judee and the family as their loss is shared by everyone who had the blessing of Knowing Scotty.
Sending love to you, Judee.
