HAMPTON - Edward Scott Silverthorn, son of Arline and Bobby Silverthorn passed away on June 7th unexpectedly. Scott is survived by his parents, Arline and Bobby Silverthorn, fiancee Kathleen Chomas, two brothers, Ron(Cherrie), David (Theresa), and many cousins. Scott is the second son born November 5th, 1963 in Hampton, VA, where he studied music, and was a master in many areas of the martial arts. His other interests included numismatics, Iaido and teaching philosophy of the Samurai plus activities which involved friends and family. Scott also worked at Reed Walton's Coin Shop which he enjoyed very much. His keen sense of humor, love of animals, and a healthy interest in innovative ideas were part of Scott's lifestyle. Scott was highly respected as Sensei to many of his martial arts students, and for his trumpet music playing with his many friends and at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church on special occasions such as Christmas and Easter services. Scott was quiet and somewhat private which contrasted with his bold and excellent trumpet playing abilities. Scott will be greatly missed with much heartache so unable to assuage. As a son, a brother and a friend he was always willing to help when needed. Words cannot express the deep sorrow that is felt at such a grievous time nor weigh the mighty burden of so bitter a loss. Our love will always be with Scott until we join him in the afterlife in God's heavenly kingdom. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be sent to Emmanuel Episcopal Church, 179 E. Mercury Blvd., Hampton, VA 23669 A memorial service will be conducted at Emmanuel Episcopal Church on Saturday, June 11, 2016, at 11a.m by the Rev. Rhonda Wheeler. Arrangements by R.

Dearest Bobby and Arlene , my name is Sherri Silverthorn. I am the niece of Gladys Silverthorn, and the daughter of Dennis Ward Silverthorn. The story is long and how I've grown up never knowing you both, but I did meet Scott when he had come to Miami and visited with my dad and Mom. He was sweet, kind, and handsome. My dad was so proud to introduce him and I was blessed to know his precious Spirit. God was with him and he shone like a rain bow. I am sad for you, as I understand the pain as a parent to loose a son. I pray we will find one another here in this life. Just a hug and smile would too bring me peace again. God is with us. Love, Sherri

As a fellow musician from Phoebus while he was there, I still remember his trumpet solo during the halftime performance our senior year. His was a superior musician. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I was staying at my Aunt's house in Virginia and Kathleen came and picked me up and we had our friend Allen join us. We met up with Scott and Kathleen introduced me to him and I told Kathleen that Scott was a keeper! He was so nice to me. He was very soft spoken and shy but he had a huge heart and a very welcoming personality. I will miss you Scott! Deepest sympathy to Scotts family and friends.

Scott was my closest friend in some of my hardest times. He helped me heal when I was broken and brought me laughs when I was sad. I will miss him. It was a shock to hear of his passing. He is going to a better place.
