Northville Community in Mourning Following the Passing of Esteemed Township Trustee Scott Frush
Northville, Michigan is grappling with a profound sense of loss this week following the untimely passing of Scott Paul Frush, a revered township trustee and financial guru. Scott, who was just 53 years old when he passed away on January 11, 2025, in his hometown, leaves behind a legacy of dedication, community service, and family love that will not be forgotten.
A Life Well-Lived
Scott was born on January 19, 1971, in Southfield, Michigan. He was raised in a loving household by his parents, Michael Frush and Nancy Katz, and grew up alongside three siblings: Michael, Todd, and Jason Frush. His family was the cornerstone of his life, and he took great pride in being a supportive son, brother, and uncle.
Family was everything to Scott. He was a devoted husband to Christina Fallone, with whom he celebrated 19 wonderful years of marriage. Together, they nurtured two wonderful children, Gabriella and Ryan, who were the light of his life. As a proud son-in-law to Mario and Pasqualina Fallone, and brother-in-law to Maria, John, Rita, and Michael Fallone, he forged close bonds with his extended family, reflecting the warmth and connection that defined him.
Education and Career Achievements
Scott was not only a loving family man; he was also a remarkable scholar. He graduated from St. Agatha High School and went on to earn multiple degrees from prestigious institutions including Eastern Michigan University, the University of Notre Dame (where he obtained his MBA), and the University of Florida (where he received his Doctorate in Business Administration). His thirst for knowledge laid the groundwork for a standout career.
In 2019, Scott became a Northville Township Trustee, a role he took to heart. He was re-elected just last fall, underlining his deep commitment to serving the community. During his tenure, Scott made significant strides in fortifying the township’s financial status, helping Northville achieve a coveted AAA bond rating. His financial strategies were pivotal in reducing water rates and generating millions in interest for the township, all while ensuring taxpayers received maximum value for their contributions.
A True Community Champion
Community efforts were also a focal point of Scott’s life. He worked tirelessly not only to manage finances but also to support youth sports, enhance local parks, and advocate for green spaces. His involvement on the Washtenaw County materials management planning committee, which he joined shortly before his passing, showcased his desire to contribute to environmental stewardship.
Scott’s unexpected passing has left the community in shock. Northville Township Supervisor Mark Abbo expressed deep sorrow, reflecting on Scott’s friendly nature and unwavering dedication to the community. Flags throughout Northville were flown at half-staff as a mark of respect for a man who truly made a difference in the lives of many.
Final Farewell
A visitation for Scott will be held on Thursday, January 16, 2025, from 2 PM to 8 PM at Harry J. Will Funeral Home in Livonia. Attendees can pay their respects while remembering this remarkable individual. A eulogy will take place at 7 PM, followed by a rosary at 7:30 PM. The funeral Mass will be celebrated the next day at Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church in Plymouth, starting at 10:30 AM, with a viewing that begins at 10 AM. Following the service, a private family burial will be held at Glen Eden Memorial Park in Livonia.
