Scott Mathis, 54, Zion, IL, passed away on Friday, February 25, 2022, in Chicago, IL.

He was born on August 14, 1967, in Waukegan to Duane Mathis and Mary Johnson (nee Gibbs).

Throughout his life Scott enjoyed many activities including playing darts, bowling at Castle Lanes in Racine and Grand Bowl in Waukegan and running cribbage tournaments at Jesters on Mondays and the Zion-Benton Moose Lodge on Thursdays, where he was a long-time member-in-good-standing for many years.
