I met Scott through the Boise School district while he worked at Taft elementary school, he was the rock I leaned on when my world was trying to crush me...he was kind, compassionate and I told him that he was absolutely right where he was meant to be that he was the best man to be in his position helping families keep their lives above water...& not drown... I thank God for him in mine and my daughters life...I can´t imagine where our lives would have gone without his help...I can´t fathom this happening to him and his family, after all the good he has worked for the sooo many families This is truly a tragedy and my heart is broken...I need a grave sight to visit...is there one? Somebody please share if there is...
My most sincere condolences to your beautiful family Mikala Zac and his lovely Wife whom we share a love for Arabian horses and we both got help getting them Registered....

I knew Scotty because I went to prom with him in high school! I was devastated to hear the news. So many memories...always the person who is mentioned in all these comments! Funny, kind and sensitive. I remember him and his best friend at the time would pick me up a block away from my house for school. My parents were very strict and I was supposed to be riding the bus. They would drive by my house and honk which meant they were there...I would climb in the car and they´d be laughing at how many times they drove by and honked! We worked at Carl´s Jr together and had so many many laughs....he was a rock..I love you Shawna Baker!

I met Scott Crandall when my son was at Fairmont. He was always helpful and caring. It's sad to hear that he passed away. He was such a loving soul. He helped my son when my family was struggling. I will miss him. Condolences to his family and everyone that knew him.

Dear Crandell, oh how much I miss you. I remember going into your office before basketball practice and just talking about my sister, school, boy drama, and other things like that. You were such an amazing person. I still remember the first song I asked you to play during lunch. Now Fiesta by IZ*ONE is a song that makes me always think of you when I hear it. I can't believe you are gone. Your sweet face, your kind words, and your help to the Boise School district is always remembered and cherished. I love you and miss you incredibly. Rest in peace Crandell .

Oh, my heart aches for Scott´s family. I had the honor of being Scott´s social work intern for the 2018-2019 school year. He was the most amazing human. He was the epitome of what it means to be a social worker. And man was he funny. We had the best time working together. I am devastated to hear of his passing. He was such a bright light in this world.

I had the pleasure of working with Scott at Taft Elementary as their librarian for several years. He was so helpful from the beginning, from technology to also supporting library services to all students. He really cared about all the staff, the students and their families. We would always have a good laugh together! He was so compassionate and caring. I never knew where he got all his energy from! I was so saddened to hear about this terrible tragedy. My deepest condolences to the family and friends. He was such a great light in the educational community. He will be missed.

Scotty, I'm still in such disbelief. All the sleepovers I had with Michaela, all the times we went to the YMCA and you welcomed me at your house. All the times you made me laugh at school. I'm still processing that you're gone. Rest easy, Scotty. We love you.

My favorite memory was the way we could take the worst of situations and find something to make us laugh. I knew you every day of my life! My big brother, my rock! You left me an only child and I don´t like it, I needed you! I promise to hold together Momma, Julie, Machaela, Zac and Luka Joe. I will forever cherish our laughs. Scotty goes potty all over his body

Oh where do I start?
Scott, this is like a bad dream you can't wake up from. There's so many times shared full of laughter, tears, encouragement, helping, etc. Not just for me but the kids too. I love that Machaela and Nicole have remained close friends twenty years now. When Nikki called me to inform me of everything, I cried for a few days. My heart aches for you, Julie, Machaela and Zac. You spent your time here helping so many people. You changed lives. You made a difference in every single person's life that had the honor of knowing you. And those of us who where also blessed to also know your beautiful and equally amazing family. They are the perfect fit to you. All four of you have such amazing hearts filled with love. I don't understand how things like this can happen. When one of the greatest gets taken to early for the rest of us. It's hard to comprehend that this was God's plan for you. I don't feel your time here was done yet. There's so many who are feeling really lost right now that you're gone. And you didn't get to meet Hensley yet. Nikki said you were so excited the week before your passing about getting to meet her. My heart still aches over this. You were so many things to me. A friend, a coach, an advocate, a support, a boss, a counselor, and sounding board, a mentor. And many more. I will always cherish the time I did get to spend with and your family. I will miss you Scott. Please rest peacefully now.

I want to offer my deepest and sincerest condolences for Scott`s family. Scott was the best boss I ever had. He was such a kind, caring, and compassionate person. He was always motivating and inspiring people to be the best they could be. As a boss, I imagine he has impacted thousands of social workers in this community. Probably more than anyone I can think of in my career. Since I heard about his passing, not a day is gone by that I haven´t thought about his family. I hope your memories and love carry you through this difficult time. Sending heartfelt thoughts and prayers to each and everyone of you!

I am the parent of a former Capital High School student. Our family was going through a divorce when my son Josef was a sophomore and he was struggling academically. Scott was very helpful and suggested that Josef go to Frank Church school. I was very apprehensive to send my nerdly kid to an alternative school and be influenced by other struggling kids. He suggested that Josef could succeed here and that he should just keep his head and stay focused on graduating. Josef did go to Frank Church were he thrived in the small classes. He made a group of friends there that the faculty loving called "The nerd herd" . Those boys are all still good friends today at age 25. Josef found a lifelong friend group and graduated high school all thanks to Scott. We just wanted Scotts friends and family to know that his life made a difference to the students and families he served. Thank you for all your hard work Scott- rest in peace.

crandell, although ive already written you a letter and slipped it under your office door, i feel like i havent said enough. everyone around me who was once around you misses you immeasurably. youve helped me, and so many other students, whether through the support groups you helped hold up or through making sure each and every student knew they could tell you anything. youve help so many of my friends through self harm, suicidal thoughts, drug problems, family problems, depression, panic attacks, and anything else we were going through. I wish you couldve seen the impact you made on decades of students from multiple schools in the area. everyone at fairmont misses you so much mr crandell, and i often think about the conversations we had and the support you offered. a lot of the times when im going through something i think of how nice it would be to have your advice again. I send so much love and condolences to mr crandells family and want them to know that they have so much support from so many different people.

I met Scott when my daughter Sydnie Shaklee-Fletcher went to Taft Elmentary. Sydnie was in kindergarten. I even found out he lived in my grandma neighborhood Great Sky Estates. Through the twenty years he has been there for my family through the good and bad. It's so hard to grasp he is gone. I watched my daughter and his daughter grow up together. He just had his first grandson not to long from his daughter and husband. He has loving wife and amazing family and life. So this is such heart breaking for his family and friends. The kids Scott has helped through the years. Thank you Scott for your beautiful soul. Sending healing prayers to your family and friends and kids you have helped through the years. Monique Shaklee

I was devastated to hear the news of Scott's passing. A week later, and I am still having a hard time processing it. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He truly was an amazing man and I hope some comfort can be found in hearing how much he truly made a difference in so many people's lives. I could go on and on about the impact he made in, not only mine but my family's life. It was an honor to know him, and will he be forever missed.

My dearest Scott,
You were a true friend and fellow bleeding heart for nearly two decades. Working with you on shared cases was a treat, because it always ensured I would get to experience the joy that is you.
You lit up every room of life you walked into, and your loss is immeasurable. When my son was a baby, you were his biggest fan. I loved the joy you shared with me about parenthood. I didn´t tell you as often as I should have, but I cherished your spirit, your gift of giving, your excitement for kindness, and your love for the youth in our community.
As social workers, we will continue to keep your presence at the forefront of our profession by honoring you through our work and in our lives. I miss you already.
Sending so much love to your family.
Always,
Marissa Nickel

I've had the privilege of knowing Scott since about 96 and I am so grateful for all he did the help my kids and myself in and out of school. He was such an inspiration to so many and he dedicated is whole life to helping not just students but the whole community.

We used to share stories about our kids.Scott could make you feel better just with his warm and caring smile. Scott you are so loved by all who knew you and to some you were there hero. Not many people like him and I hope you know just how much you made a difference especially to me. I am blessed to have called you my friend . I will definitely miss you and your smile.

Scott was so wonderful with all the kids. My children in particular were helped by him during a very bad and upsetting time in their lives. I have hear story after story of all the kids whom he has helped and made many lives better. I want his family to know that he was loved and he made a difference and as a parent I am so appreciative of the time he did give to the students.
