Scott A. Schuch, age 56, of Nashville, TN, passed away Saturday, September 21, 2024, following a courageous battle with cancer.
He was born Aug. 29, 1968, in Cedar Rapids, IA to Jan and Gary Schuch of Central City, IA. Scott attended and graduated from Central City Community School in 1986. In 1990, he graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a BA in Psychology. Continuing his education at the University of Tennessee, he received his Masters of Science in social work. While working for the Tennessee Valley Healthcare systems at the VA Medical Center, Scott continued his educational journey receiving his Masters of Science in Nursing as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Vanderbilt University. Upon receiving board certification, Scott became a devoted employee for the TN Dept. of Corrections.
Scott was a passionate advocate for his patients needs by providing care with empathy and humor that allowed them to maintain their dignity.
Scott was united in marriage to Nancy Robison on Nov. 8, 2004, in Caherconlish, Ireland. Together, they enjoyed traveling, gardening, live music and spending time at the pool. Scott enjoyed entertaining family and friends and cooking big meals for them. He and his brother Shawn shared a special bond over Hawkeye Football and music festivals.
