Not sure what to say?

I am truly sorry to hear about Scotts passing. We were good friend when he attended Baylor University in the 90's. I will cherish the fond memories of our friendship and good times together. May he rest in peace.

I met Shea at Bishop Kelley freshman year back when he had all 10 fingers. We had several classes together and always got along well. We didn´t really keep in touch during our college years but reconnected after college. We would go hunting, mostly for ducks, and would always have a great time even if the birds weren´t flying. Shea was one of those people who brought others around him up. I would physically feel better just being around him. His positive energy and excitement for whatever...

I first met Shea when I was playing in the 12 and under tennis tournaments at La Fortune Park. He was the tournament director of many junior events. I got to know Shea even better as part of the TU tennis program. He was a great coach and an incredibly uplifting and positive person to be around. Shea recruited my wife, Michelle to TU, so if not for Shea, I would not be happily married with two beautiful kids. Thank you, Shea! I´ll miss him and his booming "Let´s go Tulsa" cheers. RIP Shea.

Shea and I met in 2nd grade when he transferred to Eliot. Immediately we became friends. That friendship would last through middle school, high school and beyond. He was always such a loyal friend and such an important part of those formative years. Even when we drifted apart as adults, like so many people do, whenever we saw each other his face would light up and we were both genuinely excited to spend a few moments catching up. Honestly a few characters on a website could never do justice...

Such a tragic loss. You are forever in our hearts.

Shea was my son´s tennis teacher/coach and was his greatest mentor. He championed Max when he needed it more than ever. Over the years they became close friends. He flew to Hawaii to be a groomsman in Max and Alyssa´s wedding. I loved him for the kind sweet man he was. Always upbeat and happy. My heart breaks knowing he is gone. The sun will never shine as bright now. Love you Shea. Suzanne Anderson

Remembering all the great times we had with Shea at Shadow Mountain Racquet Club!! From playing at Shadow as a Junior to teaching and working at SMRC! We all loved Shea!

Sending love and prayers!

He was a great guy, and will be missed by many. His Bishop Kelley classmates and other friends will have a gathering on Saturday the 7th at McNellies on the patio at 730pm. We want to welcome anyone who would like to attend in honor of Shea.
