Honoring the Life and Legacy of Brett Scrogham

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Brett Scrogham.

Just two weeks before his passing, Brett joined Kittle Property Group as a Development Analyst. While his time with us was brief, his impact was immediate. From the moment he arrived, Brett brought energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for the work we do. We were excited to welcome him to our team and looked forward to watching him grow both personally and professionally.

Brett was a recent graduate of Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, where he distinguished himself through his commitment to learning, leadership, and service. He was actively involved in the Real Estate Club, earned multiple certifications, and volunteered as a competitive speech and debate coaching assistant. Those who knew Brett consistently describe him as kind, hardworking, humble, and full of optimism.

What stands out most when reflecting on Brett’s life is the way he made people feel. He had a natural ability to connect with others, a positive attitude that was contagious, and a genuine interest in helping those around him succeed. Whether he was working toward a goal, supporting a friend, or pursuing a new opportunity, Brett approached life with determination, integrity, and joy.

While we are heartbroken by this loss, we are committed to ensuring that Brett’s legacy continues to inspire future generations.

To honor Brett’s life and the promise he carried, the Kittle Property Family Foundation has committed $100,000 to establish the Kittle Property Family Foundation Brett Scrogham Real Estate Scholarship at Indiana University. The scholarship will be awarded annually to a student who demonstrates both a strong interest in and commitment to real estate development and/or affordable housing.

Brett believed in the power of education, hard work, and community. Through this scholarship, future students will have the opportunity to pursue those same passions and continue the work that Brett was so excited to begin.

No scholarship can replace the loss felt by Brett’s family, friends, classmates, and colleagues. However, it is our hope that this scholarship will serve as a lasting tribute to a remarkable young man whose future was filled with possibility and whose character left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

We will share additional information regarding the Brett Scrogham Real Estate Scholarship and application process as details become available.

Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences remain with Brett’s family, friends, and all who loved him.

His time with us was far too short, but his impact will not be forgotten.
