Scotty Lewis Wren, 54, died Monday, January 15, 2024 in Bentonville, AR. He was born on Sept. 10, 1969, in Tupelo to the late Jimmy Wren and Judy Smith Wren Ferguson. Scotty attended Tupelo Public Schools before graduating from Itawamba Agricultural High School in 1988. He also attended Mississippi State University, where he met some of his very best friends. After school and being married, he enjoyed a successful career in the transportation industry before becoming an accomplished artist. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, playing golf, and watching football with his buddies anytime he could. Most of all, he enjoyed time with his family. He often stated that his favorite thing to do was to watch football in his recliner with his little girl sleeping on his shoulder and his wife and son by his side. Later in his life, he was given his most treasured possession, his Golden Doodle, Lokie, by his son. He loved that dog as much as a man could!
A memorial service and celebration of life will be held on Saturday, January 20, 2024 at 11 AM in the Sadie Holland Memorial Chapel at Holland Funeral Directors-Tupelo Chapel.
