}}Scott Livingston "Scotty" Probasco, Jr.[1] (November 26, 1928 – April 17, 2015) was an American heir, businessman and philanthropist.[2][3]

Early life

Scotty Probasco was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee on November 26, 1928.[4][2] His family has been involved in banking for ten generations.[3] His grandfather, Harry Scott Probasco (1858-1919), founded the American National Bank, and his father, Scott L. Probasco, Sr. (1890-1962), founded SunTrust Banks.[2][3] Probasco had said that the "Probasco" family were originally Jews from Madrid, Spain who immigrated to the Netherlands and converted to Protestantism;[3] then in the 1600s, they immigrated to the U.S.[3] Both his father and grandfather attended the First Presbyterian Church of Chattanooga, and were devout followers of Christ.[3]

Probasco attended the Baylor School, where he played on the golf team.[5][6] He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from Dartmouth College and attended the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.[2]

Career

Probasco considered becoming a preacher, but joined the family business instead.[3] He served as the Chair of the Executive Committee of SunTrust Bank in Chattanooga.[2][7] He served on the Board of Directors as well as the Audit and Compensation Committees of Chattem, a Chattanooga-based producer and marketer of over-the-counter healthcare products, toiletries, dietary supplements, topical analgesics, and medicated skin care products.[7]

Philanthropy

Probasco sat on the Board of Trustees of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga as well as its UTC Alumni Council, UT Development Council, and UT Foundation.[2] He has also supported the UT chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.[2] He endowed the Probasco Chair of Free Enterprise at UT, currently held by Jeff Ray Clark.[2][8] He received the UTC Alumni Board's Outstanding Service Award.[2]

Probasco also donated to the Baylor School, the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce, the Chattanooga-based Benwood Foundation, Bethel Bible Village, a crisis center for neglected, abused and in-crisis children based in Hixson, Tennessee, the Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga, and the United Way of Greater Chattanooga.[2] He supported Republican Bill Haslam's gubernatorial campaign in 2010.[9]

Personal life and death

Probasco was married to Betty Rowland Probasco, a.k.a. Betty Probasco, and they resided in Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, a suburb of Chattanooga.[2][10] They met at the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club in 1953.[11] His wife was an avid golfer and a former executive at the Women's Southern Golf Association.[11][10] They had four children:

  • Zane Probasco Brown.[2] She is married to Greg Brown, who was elected as the Mayor of Lookout Mountain, Tennessee in 2006.[12] He was still the Mayor in 2012.[13]
  • Ellen Probasco Moore.[2]
  • Benjamin Rowland Probasco.[2] He has served on the Board of Directors of Krystal, a fast food restaurant chain, since 1997.[14]
  • Scott Probasco, III.[2]

Probasco's sister, Alice Probasco, was married to the late John T. Lupton II, the heir to the JTL Corporation, Coca-Cola's largest bottler until he sold it to the Coca-Cola Enterprises for US$1.4 billion in 1986. Scotty Probasco was known for wearing bowties and smoking Honduran cigars.[3] He died on April 17, 2015.[15][16]
