Dear Marlene. Cindy & Greg,
Scott always had a special place in his heart for me and I for him. I remember when I was going through my divorce, how he would comfort me and call me. He was my brother's best friend but we all hung out together and he would do anything for me without question. If and when I needed him he was always there. I will miss him greatly. He was a loyal and faithful friend and we really had some good times. Scott, until we meet again....

Dear Davis family, I am so sorry to hear about Scott leaving us. As everyone has said in this guest book, when Scott was your friend he was a friend always.He had a great sense of humor and seemed to find good in most everyone. I have some great memories of hangin with Scott, Jeff Delozier and Larry Hargrave at Magruder. I'm glad that I knew Scott because I'm better for it. To Mrs Davis, ( I can still picture you guys riding in the ole blue charger), though I can only imagine your pain, I can't help but think that Scott is right ther beside you with his arm around you whispering in your ear "come on mom, it'll be ok". That is just the Scott I will always remember. Never taking himself to seriously and trying to make others feel better.
Scott, May You Rest In Peace Ole Buddy

Marlene....You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. As a neighbor on Pine Grove Road, I can remember when all your children were born. What a gift from God when a new baby is born. I am sure you can remember Scott always through your grandchildren. He always had a good heart & will really be missed. The ladies @ the Chesapeake were talking about what faith you have, today. Knowing that Scott is with the Lord will give you peace.

Cindy & Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Scott. We have known each other since Kindergarten and continued to be friends after high school. I have such fun memories of him and all the funny stuff him and Shane Rittenhouse use to do. Scott could make me laugh and smile at anything (I loved his goofy laugh he had) Im glad that me and him talked alot the last couple of years. Anyone who had him as a friend knows that his friendship was with you for life.
"You will never be forgotten Scott!"
