He was born April 8, 1957 in Chicago, Ill. He attended schools in Chicago, Edina, Minn., Lexington, Mass., and University of Colorado. He moved to California from Minnesota to reunite with his high school sweetheart, Donna Brass, and they married December 1997.

Scott and Donna started their own business, DSE Freight, Inc., in July 2000 in Simi Valley. The family was heavily involved with The Simi Valley Baseball League.
"A Celebration of Life" will be held at StoneBridge Community Church at 4832 Cochran St., Simi Valley, at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 17.

Dear Mrs. Eames and family,
I have just been notified that Scott has fallen asleep. To say the least it was quite a surprise to hear. Scott has been a loyal customer since January 2001. Since our business is a web based service, I've never had the privilege of meeting him in person, so we have worked together virtually, communicating over the phone and through emails. He was always very detailed and professional, and it was always a pleasure to work with him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time in your life. Please let me know if there is anything that we can do for you to make this time of transition easier.

Love transcends all and lives forever into infinity for all who will keep listening. I'm sure we'll feel and hear Scott's gentle ways. And Donna you will see him everyday in Jason. God Bless, Lj and Sue

If Roses grow in Heaven Lord pick a bunch for me, Place them in my Daddys arm's and tell him that they are from me. Tell him that I Love him and Miss him and when he turn's to Smile place a kiss upon his cheek and hold him for a while. Because remembering him is easy I do it everyday, There's an ache within my heart that never... goes away!!

Hi Donna, Joe Escutia called me last week to let me know of Scott's passing. He will be sorely missed. I enjoyed Scott's kind heart and relaxed spirit. We are praying for you and Jason. He loved his Daddy so much, and Scott just adored to watch him play. If you need anything, anything at all, please don't hesitate to call.

Precious Donna and Jason...
When a leaf falls from a tree, a flower blooms, a wind chime tinkles, or Jason's eyes twinkle and laugh... know that Scott created those moments and more for your happiness.
You will smile again because of Scott. You will love more, because of Scott. You will give more, because of Scott. You will understand more, because of Scott. What a beautiful world he is creating for you and Jason so he can hear you laugh and dance again... so Scott can laugh and dance again.
It hurts, I know not to have his image near. It always will I'm afraid, because you love him... but that's a good thing.

Dear Donna,
I continue to lift you, Jason and your family up in prayer, as I have done throughout this most difficult journey. I am thankful that I had the privilege of seeing Scott and kissing his cheek just weeks ago :) He was a kind, gentle man and will be greatly missed, I know! Love and hugs to you all.

To the entire family and all who knew Scott...it is always difficult to find words of comfort when a loved one passes on. Just know that everyone who loves you and him are praying for your strength to carry through this painful loss. Scott is in a better place, is no longer suffering and is now your guardian angel. Having him in your life was a blessing and I'm sure you are all the better for having known him and loved him.

I didn't realize Scott was born in April; that makes us both Aries! I loved Scott like a brother, and was so happy to have played a small part in reuniting him with Donna more than 20 years after high school. Theirs was a truly storybook romance. Scott's life on earth was cut short, but he touched so many people and I believe his spirit lives on in another realm...and he is at peace now as he continues his journey.

Donna,
Although I never had the pleasure of meeting your wonderful husband in person, the positive energy he radiated was palpable to me when he answered your phone and we chatted the night I called your home after having found you on fb 30+ years after you left Massapequa. His memory will live on forever in you and Jason and in all those whose lives he touched. I love you...Patti

Dear Donna and Jason, It has been special knowing the Eames family for the past 6 years. Scott was such a rock for your family. He was an excellent example of a father and a husband. His love for you was evident in how well he supported both of you. Jason will have fond memories of all the things he did with his father (found a baseball photo) like practicing baseball in the back yard.

Dear Donna and Jason, What a privilege is has been to have the Eames family as part of our life. Scott was such a rock for your family, what a treasure for you to have had that wonderful relationship. Scott was an excellent example of a father and a husband. I know Scott would work with Jason with his baseball skills, those fond memories will always be with you!
Love, The Joslin Family

Hello Jason, my prayers and good thoughts are with you, your mom and family at this tough time. Your dad will always live and be with you because of your love and wonderful, awesome memories of him. When I lost my Dad when I was 17 all I could do to stay positive was to remember all the great times we had and how much he taught me about treating others. I'm always here for you and you are so loved by so many children and staff at Big Springs. Please let me know if you or your Mom ever needs anything. Your Dad really launched you well into life. God Blessings always, look forward to see you soon-take care now.

To Donna and Jason, I will always remember Scott from Mr. Hennesseys German class. I will never forget the time that he and I and Judy Wenzelberger convinced Herr Hennessey that it took three people to return the projector to the AV department. One for the projector, one for the extension cord and one for the take up reel. Scott will be greatly missed. I will choose to celebrate his life with you.
With deepest sympathy,
Liz Bartel - LHS 75

Now I know why I always felt that Scott was a soulmate - we're both Aries - born three days apart in 1957. I'm so glad that I was able to play a small part in reuniting Scott with Donna more than 20 years after high school. Theirs really was a story book romance. Scott, your life on earth may have been cut short, but your spirit lives on...and I look forward to the day when we have a big reunion in heaven!

I never knew that Scott was a fellow Aries! We were born three days apart - lol. Scott Eames was (and always will be) a one of a kind man. And I am so glad about the small role I played in helping to reunite him and Donna more than 20 years after high school. They were always a match made in heaven. I know he's in a happy place now, and that we will all see him again some day...and I'll get another chance to scream out, "Scott Eames!!!"
