Everett Scott Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 15, 2025.
Everett Daniel Scott, known as "Scotty" to friends and colleagues, "Danny" to family back home, and "Bipa" to his grandchildren, passed away on August 10, 2025, in Burlington, Vermont, at the age of 79, following a courageous battle with lung cancer.

Born on June 17, 1946, in Memphis, Tennessee, Everett grew up surrounded by family and the values that shaped his life. Those early years instilled in him a strong sense of character and commitment that stayed with him throughout his life.

Everett was a devoted husband to Lee, and a proud father to Michelle and Clinton. He shared a close bond with Michelle's husband, Christian, and found great joy in being a grandfather to Ruby and Leland. Family was always at the heart of his life. He remained close with his brother Raymond, and maintained strong ties with his nieces, nephew, and cousins. His loyalty and care for others were evident to all who knew him.

Everett served his country with unwavering honor and integrity. He joined the United States Air Force in 1965, serving for 23 years, and continued his service with the Department of Defense for another 35 years after retiring from the military. He and his family were stationed globally, including assignments in Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Germany - visiting many other locations during his time abroad. Though his work took him all over the world, he loved to spend time at home and with this family - going for long drives with his wife, mowing the lawn or playing Boggle with his grandkids.

May Everett Daniel Scott's memory bring comfort to all who knew him and continue to inspire those whose lives he touched. As he was known to say to his team when he left each day, "See you later, Boys and Girls".

A Viewing will be held on August 18, 2025 from 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM at Mountain View Chapel, 68 Pinecrest Crest Drive, Essex Junction, VT 05452. Burial will be held on August 19, 2025 at 1 PM at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Randolph, Vermont.
