Michael Scott Obituary
Dec. 23, 1964 - July 5, 2025
Captain (CA) Michael Scott, a man known for his warmth, resilience, and larger-than-life personality, passed away on the morning of July 5, 2025, following a courageous four-year battle with Glioblastoma. He was a warrior in every sense-defined not by his illness, but by the boundless life he continued to live in spite of it.
Diagnosed in 2021 and given just one year to live, Michael defied every expectation-surviving more than four courageous years. He met every challenge with bravery, humor, and a heart wide open to connection.
Michael's life was rich with stories-wild, funny, improbable, and deeply human. He was a talented bass player, performing in the bands Dead Time Stories, The Distortions, and Godspeed. But beyond his music, acting, and project leadership, Michael was a talker, a connector, and someone who truly wanted to help. He never missed a chance to check in, offer a hand, or lift your spirits-no matter what he was going through.
Michael was deeply proud of his military service. Even after his diagnosis, he remained committed to his duties, continuing to train and serve with the California State Guard, where he rose to the rank of Captain in 2025. His strength and perseverance - both in service and in life - inspired all who served with him.
Michael is lovingly remembered by his devoted partner Veronica of Pasadena, CA; his mother Roberta of Windham, NH; his sister Andrea and her family of Bedford, NH; countless military comrades; and life-long friends.
Michael will be missed beyond words, but his legacy lives on in the memories, the music, and in the stories-always in the stories.
We love you, Michael. Rest easy, Captain, you've earned your peace.

We knew eachother for almost 26 years. I was a los angeleno who moved to New Hampshire. Michael called me immediately and said i must talk to his sister. It was cute to see him try to help me fit in the east coast.
Brother Michael, i have only one song that reminds me of you. Sloop John b. We cried together about seizures and life: we both were treated at UCLA medical but met when I was 19 at EarthLink and we hung out with the same radio crowd.
You will be missed Michael. "I am so broke up, i wanna go home."

The smile on his face while facing this horrible disease shows his strength and how he saw the world. He wanted nothing but happiness for everyone. He always made everyone smile. I miss you my friend.

Honored to have known you, Michael. Your sincere concern about your friends and their lives even as you furiously battled to live is just one of the many attributes that you possessed and is why all who knew you will hold your bright light in their memory always. Till we meet again, Michael. Semper Fi
