Scott Kellar Obituary

Kellar, Scott Edward
30 of Chandler Arizona passed on December 18, 2014 after a year of battling with cancer.
Cancer may have taken his body but his spirit will live on forever in all of us.
Scott was born on December 6, 1984 in Tempe, Arizona.
He graduated from Gilbert High School in 2003, attended NAU and graduated from The Commercial Diving Academy in Florida.
He loved and was proud of his job as a commercial diver since it allowed him to be around the water all day. He loved the outdoors, the ocean, and the mountains and embraced any new adventure that came his way.
He lived each day with passion and lived more in 30 years than many do in an entire lifetime.
Scotty was a good friend to many and to know him was to love him.
He had a beautiful and infectious smile and a sense of humor to the very end.
He is survived by his Fiance Dannie Rae, his Mother Jan, his Father Mark and his beloved dogs Kiwi, Buddy and Lucy.
He will be missed by his extended family and valued friends as well as anyone that ever met him.
Services will be held Monday, December 29th 2014 at 11 am, at Mission Community Church 4450 E Elliot Road, Gilbert Az 85234

We attended 6th grade science camp together in Payson AZ. Our cabin had the best jokes, and the best cabin chaperone, Scott's Grandfather aka "Gramps". We would do everything imaginable that 6th graders would do, from staying up late, small gags like itching powder, whoopee cusions, etc. and we had a blast. Even at a younger age, it was always fun to be around Scott and his family.
