Scott Alan Ritchey

Scott taught me everything I know about homelessness and much about the 12 steps.

Scott Ritchey was so filled with the Spirit that it overflowed when he would welcome people at church. His charisma and positive outlook was what enticed me to return to church, having left as a teen. I joined ministries and became active in the church, something I would have never done without him as a mentor. I attribute it all to him. Thank you Scott. Rest in Peace.

We knew Scott when he became a priest at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, Scottsdale leaving to be a Methodist minister. He was a young man full of his faith. Then he went on to his dream of the Justa Center which was great to get homeless off the street. Scott was a terrific man and we always enjoyed being in his company. He has surely crossed over to peace and in his short life, he dod much for many. Our deepest sympathy. Yolanda and Ken McDonald

The world is a far far better place for Scott having dwelt with us on the planet. Rest well Good friend and colleague! May your memory be eternal! Happy Trails!!!!!

I'm sad about the recent, premature death of my former fellow priest in the Diocese of Phoenix. Scott was ordained one year before me and we both left the Roman church around the same time. We were mutually supportive of each other during our time in ministry together and after we went our separate ways. Well done, good and faithful servant. Blessings of comfort and peace to his family and friends.

So appreciate and love this man’s journey, values, vision, achieved sobriety and goal ms for homeless adults; what a very positive person and positive impact. He will missed and remembered by many.
