Scott was a classmate throughout all our years in school. He was a sweet, caring, and trusting individual. I remember when my sister and I were first learning to drive, we would often see Scott walking home from his job at Crystal's Pizza and would enjoy giving him a ride home. Scott attended my wedding, and I still think of him whenever I use the nice salad set he gave me. In later years, I would occasionally see him having dinner with his mother at the Black-eyed Pea, and I regret not going over to the table to say hello that last time. I recently found a letter in my dad's possessions; it was a gracious message from Scott, thanking my dad for recommending him for a job. You are not forgotten, Scotty.

Scott was one of my favorite people at Radio Shack. He always has a smile on his face and could make me laugh. He would tell me on a daily basis to stop by and see him he had candy in his hiding spot. Lol. Not really hidden. I think everyone who worked close to Scotty knew where that candy was. I will greatly miss you and pray for your family. Although I was only there 5 years you had a great impact on my life. RIP my Friend

Scotty was such an amazing person. Seeing him at work at RadioShack always brightened my day...he always had a smile for me and a "Hello, Monica".

Scotty knew EVERYONE at work, and everyone loved him. He truly loved his job and it showed. My thoughts are with the family during this difficult time. Please know that he was such an integral part of my years at RadioShack and that his smile brought so much joy to so many. May this bring some comfort in your time of grieving.

Scotty was always the high light of my day when I worked at RadioShack. He always greeted me with a big ole smile, and he always wanted to know if he could help me. One day he showed me his candy stash and told me to help myself whenever I wanted some candy.He is one of the kindness, sweetest and genuine people that I have ever met!! He's made it home. I pray that all the family has peace that surpasses all understanding because that's what Scotty would want! I'll see you on the other side, my friend!
