R. Dawson Obituary
CHESNEE, SC-- R. Scott Dawson, 49, died tragically in a plane crash on Tuesday, June 5, 2018. Born in Asheville, NC and raised in Boiling Springs, SC, he was the son of Don and Sue Dawson.
Scott owned and operated CARS, Inc., an automobile detail and supply company. He was baptized in 1987 and was a faithful member of the Spartanburg North Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. He cherished his privilege to serve as an elder in the congregation for many years. Many friends remember Scott as a 'hiding place from the wind, a place of concealment from the rainstorm' (Isaiah 32.2).
Scott was the heart and soul of his family, and as a devoted husband, father, son, brother, and friend, he will be deeply missed.
In addition to his parents, Scott is survived by his wife, Beth Murdoch Dawson; children, Chandler Scott Dawson (Anna), Chase Murdoch Dawson, and Chloe Elizabeth Dawson; his sisters, April Geerken (Eric), and Melissa Dawson; nephews, Austin Stribling, Gavin Murdoch, and Christian Marmo; nieces, Lauren Murdoch and Charlotte Marmo; special in-laws, Robert and Martha Murdoch, Brian and Melissa Murdoch, and Robbie Stribling; as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was predeceased by a brother, Alan Keith Dawson.
Visitation will be 2:00-3:30 PM Sunday, June 10, 2018, at the Spartanburg Marriott Hotel, Heritage Ballroom, 299 North Church Street, Spartanburg, SC 29306, with a memorial service following at 4:00 PM, conducted by Brother Derek Gertzen.

Our love goes to Beth, his beautiful children. To Don & Sue, his parents and his 2 sisters. We know you are devastated, as those who knew Scott are. Jehovah will help you and soon repair the hurt by happiness.

Scott lived such a life that made such a difference in the lives of those who had the privilege of knowing and meeting him. May Jehovah give you the strength beyond what's normal to cope with the loss of such a wonderful person. This is a loss to our spiritual family.

My sister, Jeanne, called me Tuesday and was very upset because she thought the son of very good friends may have died in a plane crash. Wednesday morning I got a message from her that her suspicion had been confirmed. Scott's father was the last person to see Jeanne's husband alive before he was killed almost 20 yrs ago. I wish I had the privilege of knowing Scott and his family who were and are such good friends with my sister and her family. But you are part of our worldwide family and so my heart goes out to you. May Jehovah comfort you and bless you.
