Scotty Frederick Obituary
Scotty Matthew Frederick was born in Columbus, IN. on July 20, 1987, the son of Matthew G. "Matt" Frederick and Julie Ann Reid.
Scotty grew up in Columbus, IN. and attended Columbus East High School, Class of 2006.
A student, he enjoyed reading and marveled in the works of Tolkien, Sanderson, Jordan and Poe. He adored all animals, but the special ones in his life were Monty, Fade, Dog, Molly and Lacy. He had a vast range of musical interests and he also enjoyed gaming.
He had a great sense of humor. He was brilliant, gentle, calming and loving. To even begin to list his friends would fill a novel. His disarming personality made all strangers friends.
Scotty's love was all encompassing. The presence of his absence is everywhere.
A memorial service will be conducted at 10:00 A.M. on Friday, December 31, 2010 at the Myers-Reed Chapel on 25th St. with the Rev. Mitchell J. Coggin and Father Clem Davis officiating.
Calling hours will be from 4:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M. on Thursday and from 9:00 A.M. until the time of the service on Friday.
Inurnment will be in the Garland Brook Cemetery.
Memorial contributions may be made through the funeral home to the Bartholomew County Humane Society or to the Alzheimer's Association.

Julie,
We met as a coincidence on facebook sharing in the loss of our children. I hope that through some of my words you are beginning to find peace. Please open yourself up to the wonderful things he can show you.
Scotty,
Please watch over your mom and help her on her journey in this life without you in it. Send her your gifts and let her know that you are doing good.

Julie and Matt,
I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Scotty. I remember your joy when he was born. I’ll always remember his beautiful strawberry hair, his disarming smile, his wit, and your pride in whatever Scotty was doing. My heart goes out to you both, and to your families. Remember that I love and care about you, and am here for you every day.

Scotty was a fantastic young man. I had the privilage of meeting him on my last trip home and we struck up a pretty good internet friendship. He was a smart, funny, insightful and caring individual you couldn't help but love. The world is a smaller place without him and he will be sorely missed.
All my love and prayers to you, Matt and the rest of your family.

Scotty was such a funny, generous, smart, good-natured soul. His love for his family was evident, and he was consistently willing to help others. All of these great qualities will make his absence felt that much greater.
The Peat & Hamilton families in Ohio, Dallas, Georgia, and Florida send deepest condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Julie, Cammi, Katie and William- We are so sorry to hear about your loss. I know there is nothing I can say to ease your pain. However brief a moment that I saw him, he showed me he had a good soul and loved you and the kids very much. He was a great big Brother. Find comfort in the knowledge that someday the pain won't sting as much but your memories will be just as bright and happy as they ever were.
R.I.P. Scotty! Much love- Liz Stephenson and kids.
