Jody Scott Wisecup

Jody Scott WisecupJody Scott Wisecup, 59, Kearney, Mo., passed away suddenly on Thursday, December 7, 2017.  Jody was born on November 1, 1958 to Eddie J. and Beverly F. Wisecup.

Jody grew up in Kearney, and still lived there with his family.  He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Jewel Arlene (Dagley); daughter, Jessica Cantrell, her husband, Tony, and grandchildren, Madison Scott and Atticus; sister, Rita Kelly and husband, Tom.

He is predeceased by his parents and his brother, Jeff.

Jody had an incredible work ethic and spent his career in the Information Technology field, working for Bill McCullough & Associates in Excelsior Springs, DeLong Sportswear in Grinnell, Iowa, Butler Manufacturing and the last 14 years with HNTB Architecture in Kansas City, Mo.

However, most important to him was his family and cherished friends who will all miss him dearly.  Jody had a great love of music, and was himself a talented musician, leaving high school early to join Mike O’Roark and the Freeborn Men, a well-known K.C. area bluegrass band. He played varsity basketball and held the Kearney High School pole vault record for a time. Jody was an avid fisherman and golfer. He studied at Missouri University in Columbia, Central Missouri State University (where he was a member of the Delta Chi fraternity), DeVry Technical Institute, graduating with his Bachelor’s degree from William Jewell College.  He never did anything halfway, and we find comfort in knowing he is now reunited in Heaven with his Mom, Dad, and Jeff.

Services will be held on Thursday, December 14, 2017, at Fry-Bross & Spidle Funeral Home, 208 S. Jefferson, Kearney, MO 64060.  Family and friends may visit from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., with the service following. Donations can be made to the American Cancer Society.

While I didn’t work with Jody directly, not a morning went by without him providing a joyful “Hello” or “Good Morning” followed by that infectious smile, that brightened the day of all he met. All were blessed who were privileged to meet Jody.
You have my deepest condolences concerning your loss.

It’s hard to think that he won’t be in the office anymore. The warm smile and soft voice will no longer greet us.  I thank God for letting us cross the same path and it was my privilege to work with him.  To his beloved family, please know that he will be missed tremendously. May the Lord bless and comfort you at this saddest time. Please accept my sincere condolences to you all.

It’s hard to believe he is gone from his HNTB  family. He will truly be missed. Such a kind and Gentle person. He made sure I was always safe coming into the building in the mornings, but he is with God now.

I worked alongside Jody for many years at HNTB and was shocked and saddened to hear of his death. He was the consummate professional and we always knew the Oracle databases were in the best of hands. My sincerest condolences to all of his family and friends who mourn him to this day.
