Not sure what to say?

I remember Lisa's cousins Raymond and Nicky and what amazing boys they were. I only met Scott a few times but was always impressed with him. I know he had a wonderful life. My heart is with my Aunt Joyce and my cousin Lisa at this time.

Scott was a wonderful bright light in the Learning Opportunities Center at MBHS. It was an honor and pleasure to have worked with him.
Heartfeft sympathy to his family and friends and blessings on his beyond.

Roger, Lisa & Family,
Today we spent time with you and your family, remembering a very special person named Scott. Scott was an inspiration to us and to everyone he was in touch with. Everytime that we go to the river for BBQ's and Scott is around, he is always smiling, joking and having a good time. That is what we are going to miss. Scott was and always will be a special man in our hearts forever!

Dear Roger and Lisa

My God be with you in your time of need " May He bless thee and keep Thee"

love you all

Roger, Lisa and Michael,
Scott was a special guy. He will be missed by many. It was a privilege to work with him when he was in junior high and high school.

Lisa, Roger and Michael
I was very sad to hear of Scott's passing. Although we have not spent much time together lately, I fell extremely lucky to have lived with you on the farm for as long as I did. I know Scott loved his life and where he lived. It brings me comfort knowing how content he was and how much he enjoyed all the experiences life offered him. My thoughts are with you today in celebration of his life.

Scott was a big handsome guy with that shock of dark hair and vivid blue eyes, extremely curious and quietly observant, wanting to know and understand, also stubborn and conservative with strong opinions. Despite being physically unable he was mentally able to diagnose a problem and fix a tractor from his wheelchair!
While his life was short there was a lot packed in it and we all have been blessed and humbled in our own ways by sharing our lives with with Scott. All my love, Aunt Darcie

Oostema Family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Scott was always an inspiration when working with the heifers. He will be missed!

Thank you Scott for staying with us as long as you could. Being one of your teachers at Mount Baker High School gave and continues to give me great joy. My heart is filled with fine memories of you in the classroom and on campus. Travel well, my dear. You are missed.
