Scott was a classmate of mine in veterinary school. He and Linda lived in Aggie Village student housing across the lawn from us. They were our good friends during the four years of veterinary school. Scott was an excellent student and we knew he would do well as a veterinarian. Scott was a good righteous man. He had a great personality and was always kind and fun. We will greatly miss our dear friend!
We send our love, sympathy, and prayers to his family.

I consider Scott to be a very dear friend. We have known each other for nearly 40 years. Scott had a unique and wonderfully dry sense of humor. I always admired Scott's diligence and devotion as a disciple of Jesus Christ. His gospel knowledge was amazing. He was a remarkable student of the scriptures and devoted so much time and energy to scripture study.
Scott, thank you for your wonderful example and your friendship. I will miss you. God be with you till we meet again.
