SCOTT BURRELL Obituary
After a short but courageous fight against cancer, Scott was freed from his burden on Feb. 17, 2020. Scott is survived by his wife Jane of 45 years, mother Gina, brother Adrien (Julia), son Eric (Sarah), daughter Sarah (Drew), grandchildren Dylan, Griffin, Benjamin, Micah, Elisabeth, and William.
Scott will be remembered as our superman, able to fix just about anything, a man with a huge heart, and generous spirit. He loved his north Georgia mountains, building his cabin retreat, working on cars, gardening and spending time with his beautiful children and grandchildren. Scott enjoyed an early retirement after working 20 years for Gainesville Regional Utilities.
There is a huge whole in our hearts with the loss of this wonderful man. The celebration of life will be planned in April for family and friends. The family would like to thank the staff at UF Health Cancer Hospital for their compassion and care of Scott during his hospitalization. We also greatly appreciate all of the prayers and support from family and friends, near and far.
In lieu of flowers the family would like to request a donation to any of the following organizations which were particularly meaningful to him:
?St. Francis House,
Gainesville, FL
?Habitat for Humanity
?Cornelia De Lange Syndrome
Foundation (CdLS)
?Sierra Club

Scott was our hero on Double Knob. He made a very valiant effort to bring my Bronco II back to life. He will be in our hearts forever. Love and prayers for Jane and the family.

I met Scott when I was in 8th grade (1969-70) and we immediately became good friends. I'll never forget Scott giving me James Taylor's album "Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon" in 1971. The album had the song "You've got a Friend". He said he would always be my friend. I will miss him dearly, and am sending prayers for all of Scott's family.

I worked at GRU when Scott was there. Scott was sharp-witted, mechanically savvy, and I got a kick out of his sense of humor which at times was sarcastic but I always found amusing. I am sorry for Scotts family and I am sure he will be missed. Im glad I knew Scott.
