Though I have not seen Scott in many years, i´ll always remember him as a happy go lucky guy. He had the gift of gab and always loved to laugh and joke around.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

It’s never easy to say goodbye to someone who gave so much of himself to all of us.
Scott, you were more than a co-worker—you were a brother, a friend, and a steady hand through every season of our lives.
I’ll miss our conversations, your sharp humor, and even those moments when you had to reel me back in when I got a little too long-winded. Even in your hardest days, you were always thinking of others—checking in, offering encouragement, and caring deeply.
I am so proud of you, my brother. You ran your race with love, with strength, and with a vision for making things better for everyone around you. What a true servant’s heart you had, and what a lasting mark you’ve left on all of us. A thousand years is but a day and a day a thousand years, I guess that means I'll see you tomorrow - Wait till I get there before you prepose " A safer Heaven" - I want to see the look on Jesus's face!

Scott was a co-worker and a friend. I relied on him for support with MOH, DSI and anything CDL. He was always willing and able to help me. Something popped up last week and my first thought was I have to let Scott know about this. I will miss his energy and him always being the voice of reason in the room. Until we meet again in Heaven, rest easy my friend.
Love in Christ!

Very sorry to hear about Scott's passing. He and I attended school and played football together for many years in Babbitt. Scott was always the life of the party and is pretty unforgettable. I have many fond memories of Scott from back in the day. May he rest in peace.
