Scott Alexander Kenyon

September 8, 1984 - February 15, 2024 Scott Alexander Kenyon, a loving husband, father, son, brother, friend, and true force of nature, unexpectedly passed away on February 15, 2024 at the age of 39. Scott spread more love, had more laughs and forged more friendships in four decades than most do in a century.
He was a loving and devoted husband to Lauren Epstein, adoring father to Tyler (6) and Crosby (3), cherished son of Keith and Anita Kenyon and beloved brother and best friend to Ashley Kenyon (Taylor) Gelbrich.
Scott was born on September 8, 1984 and grew up in Pacific Palisades. At an early age, Scott fell in love with the beach and enjoyed playing classical piano. His days were spent on countless sports fields, and his nights were spent scouring through and listening to his dad's collection of classic rock mixtapes.
At Brentwood School, he excelled athletically, earning CIF honors in Football and Volleyball. Off the field, he began to master much of what would define him throughout his life. The life of every party, Scott had an innate ability to bring people together with his infectious energy and enthusiasm. This same exuberance extended into his interests, which included beach volleyball, golf, snowboarding, traveling, music, and of course, USC Football.
Scott graduated from the University of Southern California with a BA in International Relations, gaining a deeper understanding of the world and navigating people. In 2008, he moved to New York City, where he began a notable career at Innovative Artists, a talent and literary agency based in New York and Los Angeles. During his 16-year career, most recently as a Senior Talent Agent in the Strategic Marketing and Endorsements Department, he amassed a reputation for having a sage and knowing disposition and a level of taste and integrity that made him highly respected and beloved in the industry. With his dynamic approach and fierce dedication to his clients, his work embodied loyalty, passion, charisma, kindness, savvy, humor, intelligence and leadership.
His influence reached beyond his work; Scott's family was his universe and at the center was his best friend, true life partner and wife, Lauren. No friendship, bond or connection could ever rival the love they had. Their life was one great adventure, from traveling the world to creating their beautiful family. Wherever they were - from New York to LA - is where their friends and family wanted to be. Scott was proud of his many accomplishments in life, but nothing brought him more joy than being a husband and a father.
Scott was the ultimate dad who followed in the footsteps of his own father, and greatest role model, Keith. Scott was an absolutely wonderful father with an immeasurable amount of love for and dedication to Tyler and Crosby. His devotion to fatherhood was unparalleled, actively participating in every aspect of his kids' lives and enriching every single experience. From attending every sport and event imaginable, to nurturing their interests, guiding them through life's adventures and building their confidence, Scott lived for his children. He was their real life superhero, their ultimate cheerleader.
Scott leaves behind a profound void in the lives of his family and friends, including aunts Leslie Kenyon, Debbie (Edward) Nison, cousins Randall Kenyon Coombs and Megan Nison, in-laws Dr. Richard and Joan Epstein, and sisters-in-law Jana (Taylor) Gettinger, Drs. Danielle (Eric) Brown.
Scott loved life and filled every moment with love, passion and adventure. His irreplaceable presence in all of our lives will forever live on through the countless stories we share. This testament of love was most recently felt by all those who attended Scott's Celebration of Life on February 19th in Los Angeles. Hundreds of people flew from all over the world to pay their respects and honor the life of a man who lit up every room and brought out the best in every person he met.
