You were one of my best friends. I have so many good memories of dumb stuff we did in high school. The connection we had with each other and our friends was very real and meant everything to me. Love you and miss you.

we were so free in this photo.

I'm so incredibly sorry for the passing of Scott. I considered him a part of our family. My brother Jason Ellis brought Scott into our lives and we enjoyed every moment. I know the struggle Scott had too well and always felt a strong connection with him. He's going to forever be missed. Please know, we will be keeping your family in our prayers and Whiskey as well.

I went to high school with Scott, and I'll always remember his quiet and sweet spirit, his long hair in hs that he was forever pulling on, and his enjoyment of those around him. Haven't talked to him in years, but he was a great guy. Prayers for your family...definitely a tragic loss.

Scott was my first cousin. We spent many summers together. He was like a younger brother since I had 2 younger sisters. My sister Mandy and Scott had many adventures: catching bugs, playing polar bears, swimming, digging holes with spoons, and Scott getting 'stuck' in the apple tree! He loved playing with tape. He even made a chandelier out of tape to hang his dirty socks on to break our Grandma's funny list of rules one summer! He loved his dog Shadow and later on Whiskey!! I was blessed to know and love him and to call him family!!

Scott was an amazing, loyal, funny friend. I spent most of my Saturdays and Sundays with him, as he was good friends with my fiancé, Jason. We both cared for Scott so much and he touched our lives in more ways than he knew. I would look forward to his rude, but funny voicemails on the weekend. When Jason would watch football on Sundays, Scott agreed with me that it was "just football" and we couldn't understand why the crowd at Roosters was so upset. I truly adored Scott and I will miss him dearly. I am so lucky that I had the opportunity to become such good friends with him. Scott has been and always will be an important part of my life. I will never forget our shenanigans. RIP Scott. You will be forever missed.

I recall a pleasant young man from several BTAS classes at OU-L. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
