Richard Scott Dayhoff

Richard "Scott" Dayhoff, 68, of Worthington, passed away peacefully at 9:34 p.m. on Sunday, August 16, 2026, at Community Hospital South in Indianapolis, surrounded by the love of those who meant the most to him. Born May 7, 1958, in Linton, Scott was the son of Jack Richard Dayhoff and Nylice Ann "Ann" (Cooper) Dayhoff. A 1976 graduate of Switz City High School, he later continued his education at Ivy Tech in Terre Haute. Scott built a career as an industrial electrician with Taghleef in Rosedale, Indiana, where his skill, work ethic, and practical know-how served him well. Scott was someone who enjoyed working with his hands and finding purpose in the things he loved. He had a passion for truck pulls, motorcycles, and the kinship that came along with it. He enjoyed working on vehicles, and he could appreciate the satisfaction that came from fixing, building, and making things run right. He also enjoyed harvesting persimmons, a simple tradition that reflected his appreciation for the outdoors and the familiar joys of home. Above all, Scott treasured time with his family. His greatest happiness came from being a husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother, and the memories he created with those he loved will be carried forward by each of them. He attended the Bloomfield First Baptist Church, enjoying both in person and online services. He also enjoyed services through Linton First Christian Church. He is survived by his mother, Ann Dayhoff; his beloved wife of more than 48 years, Rebecca "Becky" Lynn (Newsom) Dayhoff; his children, Jason Scott Dayhoff and wife Kristin, and Kyla Ruth Dayhoff-Sylvester and husband Scott; five grandchildren, Jhonen Dayhoff, Jocilynn Dayhoff, Jackie Dayhoff, Hailey Hargrove, and Kaitlynn Sylvester; bonus grandchildren, Ameilia and Emily; and his brother, Roger Wayne Dayhoff and wife Susie. Scott was preceded in death by his father, Jack Richard Dayhoff. Scott will be remembered for his steady presence, his love of family, his hardworking nature, and the many ways he made life richer for the people fortunate enough to know him. Visitation will be held at Welch & Cornett Funeral Home in Worthington, of Walton Funeral Service, on Thursday, August 20, 2026 from 4:00 PM until the time of funeral service at 6:00 PM, with Pastor Nathan Brooks officiating, pastor of Bloomfield First Baptist. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Family Life Center in Bloomfield or Pregnancy Choices, through the funeral home. Online condolences may be shared with the family at www.welchcornett.com.
