Jerald Benjamin “Jerry” Scango, 65, formerly of Point Marion, Pa., passed away unexpectedly at his home in Morgantown on Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2021. Born in Morgantown on April 28, 1956, he was a son of the late Jules and Lillian (Stillwagon) Scango.
A 1974 graduate of Albert Gallatin High School, he also attended the Fayette Campus of Penn State University. Jerry was a life-long employee in various departments of West Virginia University.
He enjoyed all sports, and was especially good at golf, which he loved and played whenever possible. He had a flair for writing, liked all types of music, and enjoyed making others laugh, especially when doing his impersonations of famous people. Jerry was strong in his Christian faith, and we know God now has him in his loving care.
Left to cherish his memory is his sister, Joyce Scango Dills, of Point Marion, Pa.; three nieces and three nephews; three great-nieces and five great-nephews; cousins, Clinton and Karen Murray; and a number of longtime friends.
He was predeceased by his brother, Alan Scango, in 2018.
Due to the current pandemic, there will be no indoor services. Friends are invited to join his family for graveside services in the Evergreen Memorial Park, Point Marion, Pa., at 2 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 26, where space will allow for personal distancing. Pastor Kathy Griffith will officiate. Arrangements are in the care of the Richard R. Herod Funeral Home, Point Marion, Pa., Philip S. Rishel, Director.
