My precious Scott,
Only you could know how sad and heartbroken I am without you here. There's nothing that compare to the bond between a Mother and her Son.
You've brought me so much love and joy from the first moment I held you. I know we'll be together again someday so, until then, I'll keep you here with me in my heart.
Love Always, Your Mom

To the Hill Family: my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of such a great loss.

Scott: we have been Friends for half of our lives… great times and not so great times, natural disasters, phone calls from across the world, and our many adventures & trips. The memories we have shared would create an epic novel… I cherish every single one. Selfishly, I can not imagine this world without you., yet know you have gone on to bigger and better things. You will always have a special place in my heart as you are the best Friend for which a person could ever ask.

You are missed…

To the Entire Hill Family - There are not words to describe the feeling of loss. My heart and prayers are with you and your entire family. This is your cousin/niece Trisha Bertram/Skerjanec. My family in Oregon is heartbroken. My memories of Scott always include his beautiful smile. He was the only boy in the group, so he was extra special as we were growing up. Please feel free to email me at [email protected] so we may stay in touch.

To the Family of David Hill: My Husband and I had the privledge of living next store to Scott. He was a wonderful person. He always had a big smile on his face. Especially when he was playing with Madison. It is very difficult to come home and see the empty house, no longer full of life and laughter. I am so sorry for your loss. Scott will be truly missed.

First and foremost, I'd like to extend my condolences to Scott's family and friends.

I got the pleasure of meeting Scott about 2 years ago while vacationing in Chicago with friends for St. Pats. What a blast we all had! I couldn't be more grateful for Scott's decision to come along... his stories were amazing, his accomplishments were amazing... HE WAS AMAZING! We all shared great moments that still bring laughter and smiles to our faces today. If there was one thing I could say about Scott, it's that he LIVED!!! Scott didn't wait for things to happen... he made things happen! Scott's knowledge, humor, and that great smile of his made an impression on my heart forever.

I will continue to pray for each of you. May God's love embrace you all.

To Scott's Family,
It had been several years since I spoke to Scott but he will always be apart of so many lives. I look back and remember Great Skate, Ninja Turtle discussions and his car. I even remember Orlando. What great memories! My family and I would like to express our deepest sympathy to you all. What a loss to all that knew him! What a gain to the heavens above!
An old friend,
Charity

Dave,
Thank you for all the times we shared together. You are a special friend who was always there to talk too, and get a hug from if needed. I loved trying to keep up with you while you were speed skating. All the fun times we had playing volleyball, and basketball. When we went to the Break you were always pretty good at pool and darts. I thought your car was totally cool. You were like a big brother to me that I could look up to and talk to about most anything. I will cherish all the letters and memories that you have given me. You will always be remembered in my heart. Your family is in our prayers. We will miss you dearly. Love Your Friend, Tina
