Scott E. Billings
April 29, 1966 – June 28, 2025
With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Scott E. Billings, who departed this life on June 28, 2025, at the age of 59. A devoted husband, son, father, and friend, Scott’s life was defined by his unwavering love, infectious joy, and steadfast loyalty.
Scott Eugene Billings, age 59, of Omaha, Nebraska, passed away peacefully on June 28, 2025, at Methodist Hospital in Omaha, surrounded by dear friends and family. Scott was born on April 29, 1966, in Red Oak, Iowa, to LaVon and Shirley (Munson) Billings. He grew up in Red Oak and graduated from Red Oak High School in 1984. He went on to attend Creighton University earning his BSBA in 1988. Scott also spent a year at Creighton Law School before completing his MBA in December 1990. On August 13, 1994, Scott married Molly E. O’Gorman at St. John’s Parish Catholic Church on Creighton’s campus. Throughout his career, Scott held various accounting positions at companies including, Crown Cork and Seal, Food Services of America, H&R Block, Nash Finch, and Papillion La Vista Community Schools. He was a dedicated member of St. Leo’s Catholic Church since 1994 and proudly served with the Knights of Columbus for the past ten years.
Scott had a deep love for the Lake of the Ozarks, where he spent his summers at the house his parents built in 1966, a place especially meaningful to him, as he celebrated his first birthday there in 1967. He found peace in the water, boating, and hanging out with family and friends. A passionate sports fan, he cheered with unwavering devotion to Creighton Basketball and Nebraska Football, rarely missing a game, and he cheered on the Kansas City Chiefs from afar. Scott was well known for his legendary Christmas cookie baking, filling kitchens with the sweet aroma of more than 30 kinds of cookies, all crafted with precision and love. His passion for baking carried into the winter months, when he made Irish soda bread with the Knights of Columbus to help support tuition assistance at St. Pius X / St. Leo School.
Scott’s presence was truly a gift. He had a remarkable ability to make others feel seen, heard, and valued. His warmth, kindness, and genuine care for those around him will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Scott is survived by his loving wife, Molly; their children: Nicholas (Sydney), Elizabeth, and William; mother, Shirley Billings; father-in-law, Terry O’Gorman; brother-in-law, William “Todd” (Nam); brother-in-law, John (Eleanor) and their children, Emma and Maya; brother-in-law, Mark (Jennifer) and their children: Elise, Luke, Jack; cousins, Cristin (Jason) Westbrook and Cynthia (Ross) Cochran, along with their children, Cole and Connor.
He was preceded in death by his father, LaVon Billings; mother-in-law, Mary Lou O’Gorman; still born son, Michael; beloved aunts and uncles: Bob and Colleen Billings, and Curt and Charlene Cole.
Visitation will be from 5-7 pm with Rosary at 7 p.m. at St. Leo Catholic Church on Tuesday July 1, 2025. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wednesday July 2, 2025, at 10 am at St. Leo’s Catholic Church with lunch to immediately follow.

Molly, and family, your dad was truly a beautiful example of what a father is… He provided comfort, security and love for all of you. Bless you all.
Molly, we are praying for you and your family. Scott was such a great guy with a huge heart. He will be so missed! May God comfort you!
Molly, Shiley and family, our hearts are truly saddened with Scott’s passing but he lived life to the fullest and brought happiness to all around him! Our condolences to all of you, but know that he will live on forever in our hearts and memories as a wonderful husband, son, father and friend. God speed Scott!
Dear Molly and family, You are all in my prayers during this difficult time. There are no words to alleviate your grief or sense of loss. Scott was well loved. You have my deepest sympathy.
Molly, Nicholas, Elizabeth, William and Shirley I hope you all know my thoughts and prayers are with you all during this vert difficult time.
Our families shared so many wonderful memories at the lake, and we will always treasure those moments. I can still hear Scott’s voice calling out from his deck, always with a joke or a laugh that made everyone feel welcome. I remember helping him carry gas down to the boat and the joy of those boat rides he took us on—he had a way of making even the simplest moments feel special.
I’ll never forget how he always invited us over for homemade ice cream—it was a treat we looked forward to every time he was there, along with the fireworks he brought for the Fourth of July. He made those celebrations unforgettable, lighting up the sky and our hearts with his generosity and spirit.
Scott’s warmth, humor, and kindness left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. May you find comfort in the love that surrounds you and the memories that will always live on.
Shirley and family…. I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Scott’s passing! My deepest condolences as well as many prayers for you all at this very difficult time!
Drearest Molly, My prayers and thoughts are with you these days. What great grief you and your family are experiencing. May you find peace and consolation surrounded by all who are near and dear to you. I send you my deepest condolences, and blessing.
I am so very sorry Molly. You and your family are in my prayers. May God provide peace in the days ahead.
Im so sorry I can’t make it up there. But please know that I thought the world of Scott. He was always a “happy” presence. Il always remember the “ice cream ” times we shared at the lake. In all the years I never saw him say a harsh word about anyone or anything. His joyous nature was infectious. He will b missed immensely!! Love and prayers to all.
So sorry for your loss. Scott and I were at Creighton at the same time and then we would run into each other in random places. I remember a Husker Bowl game in the late ’80s and then, more recently, at a Creighton women’s basketball game. He was a kind and friendly person who always made me smile.
So sorry to hear of your loss. It seems like just yesterday that we were engaging in shenanigans in Kiewit Hall, and Scott was always in the thick of it. I enjoyed meeting up with him post-graduation in New York with Brian Begley and seeing him at a Creighton reunion. He will be missed.
Dear Molly and Family, Heaven definitely gained an Angel. I’m so sorry I could not join my classmates for the funeral. I lived down the street from Scott growing up. He was one of the first people I met. He’s always been kind, scholarly, everybodysfriend. There will be a great void tour next reunion. So glad I got to visit with him last summer and to meet you. You’ll always still be welcome to join us next reunion. Keeping you, Shirley and kids in my prayers.Sincerely, Lisa (Petty) Bailey Class of 1984!
He was a good friend to me and he will be missed .
I cannot remember any time that he wasn’t smiling and trying to get you to join him. I am shocked that someone with so much life can disappear so quickly from us.
We often hear that a loved one is sometimes called home for a reason. God must have been looking for some additional smiles in His kingdom.
I know his memory will always bring a smile to me.
I want the family to know how deeply saddened I was to learn of Scott’s passing. Scott was my first appointment when I started at School Specialty. We quickly bonded and spent many hours discussing Chiefs football. Scott was much more than just a customer to me; he was a dear friend, and I will miss his infectious smile and good nature. May God bless him and take my dear friend into his arms. Until we meet again Scott. Rest in Peace.
