Scott Higginbottom

Hi Scotty. I wish you a wonderful heavenly birthday. Thought of you the entire day yesterday. Love, Uncle Dan.

Dear Scotty. I missed your birthday by 1 day. I get scatter brained like that every once in a while. I do think of you so often. I just ran across a doodle that you did at our house in Brantford. I remember what a great time we had. Happy Birthday!!! Love you lots!

Dearest Scotty....the holidays are approaching and you have been on my mind as always. Family gatherings are not the same without you. Missing you and love you forever and ever.
Grandma xoxo

My dear Scotty. Eleven years ago today, you were taken from us so suddenly. Uncle Rob and I treasure the precious and wonderful memories that we have of the time we spent together. We miss you terribly. Love Uncle Dan

Dearest Scotty...you were so missed at our family get together yesterday. I mostly miss your hugs and I love you, Grandma.

Dear Scotty
Happy Birthday to you! I spent the day at work for the first time and the last! I had a quiet night without my family (my choice) but the last! No matter how long you have been gone I will NEVER stop loving and REMEMBERING you! Love you more than life itself! Love Mom

Your birthday is here, but you aren't
We'd send a gift but we know we can't
So we'll make a wish upon a star
To carry our love to where you are

Love,
Uncle Robert and Uncle Dan

We miss you dearly. Thinking of you on your 30th birthday. Love Uncle Rob and Uncle Dan.

Scotty..I think of you often, miss you and you're always in my prayers.
Aunt Deb

Merry Christmas Scotty. You are always in our thoughts.

Love Uncle Robert & Uncle Dan

Thinking of you.
Uncle Dan

Dearest SCOTTY.....yesterday was a bright and beautiful day, just as it was the day you were born. We know you were with us celebrating your 29th birthday with loving family and friends. Papa and I miss your beautiful smile and the times we spent together, especially the yard sales.....remember that one special one? I do!
Missing you and remembering you every single day.
Grandma Coco and Papa. ❤❤

Remembering you on what would be your 29th birthday, Scotty. We ran across your favourite cartoon that you used to watch over and over again when you would visit us. It brought back wonderful memories such as the ce cream sundaes that were made to your precise specifications. We miss you so much and think of you often!

Love,
Uncle Robert & Uncle Dan

Dearest SCOTTY...you are missed by so many and have given so many memories for Papa and I to hold so dear in our hearts.
❤❤

I miss you so much and still I can hear you say. "Hi uncle Rob"

Dearest Scotty...another year has passed and here we are. once again not understanding why you had to leave us at such a young and tender age. Pap and I miss your beautiful smile and your loving and caring way. Had we known what was to be, we would have held you tight to keep you safe. You will forever be held in our hearts. XOXO
Papa and Grandma Coco

Dear Scotty, It is impossible to explain what life is like without you. Nothing in this world is like it was and it never will be. I cry until I can't cry any more and I scream until I have no voice to scream. Finally, exhausted, I sit in silence defeated. I can't fix this for you Scotty and as your mother(protector)that is the hardest thing for me to accept. (mother's can fix anything!) My heavy heart I will carry for the rest of my life, it has become a part of who I am. My tears will continue to fall until they turn into tears of joy. That will be the day that we are finally reunited in heaven. Until then Scotty, know that I love you and miss you every second of every day,and that you will always be my baby, my first born.

All My Love
Mom

Today is Hunter and Izzy's 6th birthday. 5 years ago today you were at their 1st birthday party, and that was the last time I saw your beautiful face. I remember saying good night and giving you a kiss when you left. Who knew that would be the last time we would see you. You are still in our thoughts every day of the year. We miss you so very much. Love always, Grandma and Papa Higginbottom

Just thinking about you today. Miss you more and more every day. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you. All the things we have missed. Lots of love from Grandma and Papa Higginbottom

Dear Scotty: another birthday, your 25th, without you....we miss you, as always, in our hearts each and every day...Grandma Coco & Papa Christmas xoxo

Another Christmas has come and gone. Missed you and think about you every day. Lots of love from Papa and Grandma Higginbottom

Think of you so often Scotty..love and miss you.
Aunt Debbie,Brianne and Cole xo

Dear Scotty: If only we had known 4 years ago, you know we would have done everything in our power to change the events of that day. You are so sadly missed. Your smile, your hugs and the words we still hear, "love you" will never be lost. Those who love you are still bearing with heavy hearts our loss of a beautiful, precious life. We think and speak of you every single day.
Grandma Coco & Papa Christmas

Dear Scotty,
I miss you so much I can hardly breath. Lots of Love Mom XOXO

Well, Scotty, Papa and I released the 3rd fish in your pond....hope she will last...as you know, the last 2 just didn't make it. She, or he, is beautiful. Being a butterfly koi, she seems as though she could fly right out into the night.

Dear Scotty: Today is Mother's Day and your Mom is missing you so much....I'm sure you are very near her today helping her to feel the love she so much deserves.

Dear Scotty...remembering the day you were born and all of the following 20 birthdays....you would be 24 now if you hadn't be taken from us....we miss you so much, today and everyday....in our hearts forever.
Grandma Coco and Papa Christmas

Wishing you a Happy Birthday Scott.
With lots of love.
Cassie

Dear Scotty: Well, here it is Easter Monday and just looking at the pictures your Mom has sent of Preston having fun at Colesanti's petting zoo, enjoying his first bite of donut and colouring Easter eggs. These moments in Preston's life bring back, as always, memories of your first experiences while you were with us. We wonder, what would you be doing today if you were still with us....we can only imagine. Thinking of you with so much love.....miss you. Grandma Coco and Papa Christmas.

Scotty: Your little brother, Preston, will be visiting soon....we are wondering if he will enjoy his first visit as much as you did. Please watch over him and your Mom when they make the journey. Thinking of you with so much love....miss you.
Grandma Coco and Papa Christmas

Dear Scotty: Here it is Christmas eve and Papa and I are remembering our family gathering at Christmas time....it will never be the same without you but we feel that somehow you will be with us.

Love Cassie

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Dear Scotty: Words are so difficult....what can be said that hasn't already been said.....our tears and broken hearts will never bring you back....we thank you for the wonderful memories that you left us with. Your hugs, your beautiful smile and your caring ways are remembered every single day.
You will never be forgotten.
Love you,Grandma Coco and Papa Christmas xoxo

Dear Scotty: Another year has passed and you continue to be in our thoughts daily. We miss you dearly and wait for the day we will see you again in Heaven. Keep the doors open.
A great big hug and kiss with all our love, Grandma and Papa Higginbottom

Dear Scotty: Well, we believe that we have finally found the perfect fish (butterfly koi) for your pond. After losing two previous fish, we hope this one will survive. He is beautiful and has a feisty attitude. He seems to be accepted by all the other fish in your pond....perfect family harmony. Now, we need your help in naming him....perhaps you have some suggestions....we'll keep our eyes and ears open.
We love and miss you oh so much.
oxox Grandma Coco and Papa Christmas

Happy Birthday Scotty, We still think about often.

Another birthday. We still think about you every day and long for the day we will see you again. I passed a Planet Hollywood the other day and remembered the picture of you sitting there when we went to Toronto in '98. I am so thankful for that mini vacation and the other things we did. Memories are all we have left but are forever grateful for them. We miss you sooooo much. Eternal Love. Grandma and Papa Higginbottom XXXXX

Dearest Scotty: Tomorrow we will be remembering another birthday...your 23rd. Oh how we long for you to be here. The memories you have given us are still with us and help to make the pain of losing you a little lighter. Love you now and forever. Grandma Coco and Papa Christmas XOXO

Dear Scotty: We felt your gentle touch yesterday and know that you will be with us tomorrow. Miss you so much.
Lots of love as always.
Grandma Coco and Papa Christmas

Hi Scotty: Here it is, day after New Years and remembering with happy thoughts and sadness the New Years eves we spent together before you were old enough to go out and celebrate with friends. Remember the funny hats and the noise makers? Also the banging of pots and pans at midnight and all the laughter. Then stretching out on the sleeping bags in front of the fireplace munching our favourite yummies. Thank you for those wonderful memories. Love you and miss you so much.
Love, Grandma Coco and Papa xoxo

Hi Scotty: Sorry I'm late again. We think about you all the time. A while ago I found the sock monkey you liked so well and suggested I use it for Hunter and Izzy when they were giving me a hard time. Izzy had a sleep over last night and chose the monkey over her own hippo and kitty. It's always in the open now--just to remind me of you. Love you and miss you more than words can ever say.
Love, Grandma and Papa Higginbottom.

Hey, Scotty: We miss you too! Your Mom and Coach are taking good care of us and giving us a lot of love. Wish you were here.
Diesel, Dooly and Buddy too.

Hi Scotty: Looking through our photos, there you are with twinkling eyes and that flashing smile. The love you gave us has given us the strength to try and understand why you were taken from us so soon. We miss you so much. We feel your spirit with us each and every day.
Love, Grandma Coco & Papa Christmas

Hey, Scotty: Another birthday has passed with so many memories of you.....especially the day you were born. We miss you so much. Most of all we miss the "love you". You are in our thoughts every single day. Never forgotten and always loved. Grandma Coco and Papa Christmas

Scott: You are missed each and ever day not only on your birthday, remembering that your smile puts your Aunt Janice through some rough days,, I'm sure you and Grama Alice celebrated together yesterday .Love Aunt Janice xo

Hey Scotty. We'll never stop thinking about you. We love you and miss you lots! Happy Birthday.

Uncle Rob and Uncle Dan

Another birthday, Scotty. We still think about you every day wishing you were here. I still remember the day you were born. Love forever and ever. Grandma and Papa Higginbottom.

Happy Birthday Scotty, thinking of you often
Miss you and love you

Hey, Scotty, surf's up......remembering Ft. Pearce.....wish we could do it again. Thinkng of you every single day and remembering all the great things we did together. Love you and miss you so much.
Grandma Coco and Papa Christmas

Dear Scotty (our first grandchild)--what a joyful day that was. Sorry I didn't write sooner, but I have been thinking about you every single day. I can't believe a year has gone by. Sunday was Hunter and Isabelle's 2nd birthday--that marked one year from the day we saw you last. We all miss you and love you with all our hearts. Can't wait to give you a big hug. All our love. Grandma and Papa Higginbottom

Dear Scott, I can't even begin to explain how much i've missed you this past year. Everyday I think about you and the years we spent together. You're so special to me and have a place in my heart forever. I love you and miss you dearly.

I know you are smiling down on us all. All the people you graced with your presence. The last few months of your life were a gift to me. I don't take it for granted. Until the next time we meet, you will always be in my heart!!
Uncle Brian

Wow, i cant believe its already been a year, i was shocked when i heard of this. I remember, when you and a couple of guys stook up for me when i was upset about doing terrible in science back in grade 9, that REALLY helped. I remember we used to talk about things, and we've had a couple of classes together (religion was our first). good times man, good times. despite the ups and downs, i always considered you a friend. i may not have came to the gathering but you were in my thoughts. too bad we weren't as close as we could've been, im sure we would've had much more good times together, but i suppose life goes on. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

scooottty i love you & miss you more then anythinggggggg<3
not a day goes by where i dont think of you.
thanks for all the great times when we where younger
i loveyou : (

Scotty, We miss you, love you and remember you everyday.
Love Aunt Deb, Brianne and Cole XOXO

Dear Scotty: Your Aunt Janice misses you dearly. It is hard to believe it has been a year now. I know you are in a better place, and of course taking care of your grama Alice. I remember when you came over and always took the time to say hello Aunt Janice, give a warm hug and ask, how is everything?I miss it, but I do cherish those days. Scott you are missed by countless number of friends and family. RIP You will never be forgotten.
Love Aunt Janice xo

Dear Scotty,
I am really sorry it has taken me this long to write to you but it is sooo hard.I miss you more than any of my words can ever be able to explain. I will always hold on to the memories we have together and just wish we could share more, like my 13th birthday. I really wish that you had a full life to live but atleast the life you had you always had people loving you. I will never forget you, you are the one I look up to. Always being asked "how does it feel to be the oldest?" hurts because I never was and don't want to be ever. The time you were put on the earth for was full of joy and happiness and now that your gone all of the ones who have met you know they have been blessed by a wonderful person. There is plenty more to say but...

I Love you, Scotty and ALWAYS will:
Your little Sis

Thinking of you today and everyday. Happy Birthday Scotty.
Love Aunt Deb, Brianne & Cole

I still don't know what to say.....I think of you every day and miss you like crazy. Wish you were here. Happy birthday, kid. Love ya XOXOX......

Happy Birthday Scott.

I wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday.
I know me and you were not close friends but we were familiar with each other. Reading all the beautiful memories from your close friends and family, feels like i know you more than i really do.
What i do know, is that you are an amazing person, You had a great spirit, and i know you are greatly missed,
Your in my prayers.

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Dear Scott: Words are hard to say on this day, I know one thing for sure, you would want me to join you in having a birthday drink with you so cheers to you on your special day . You are truly missed and never forgotten.. Love your Aunt Janice xo

Dearest Scotty: Remembering you on your special day and missing you every day more than words can say.
Love, Grandma Coco and Papa

To a dear Nephew that I truly miss. It is hard to believe it has been 4 months now. I think of you often , that smile always comes to me. when I need to remember to smile too . I know you are smiling on us each and every day. Miss you Scott Love Aunt Janice xo

Rennie, Trish, Gary, Isabelle and all your family. My heart and prayers go out to you all for the loss of your young man. I'm sorry I found out so long after Scott's premature death and all I can do is offer my sincere condolences. I was told just yesterday of your loss by another co-worker. I worked with both Gary and Rennie over the years and I know how much family means to all of us. We know that each of us has a pre-determined time to leave this earth but we never want to think of life being cut so short for one of our loved ones. God bless you all and take comfort in one another’s love.

To my Brother… Scott, even though you were my step brother, I always considered you blood. And I know that you also thought the same towards me. I don’t even know where to start man. We definitely had a lot of great memories together. But I was waiting for more to come. Like the day that you were going to stand up at my wedding, when ever that day were to come. And I always knew that you would be there for me. And you know that I would do the same. I miss sharing the same room with you. And I will never forget all the fun times that we shared. I have to stop writing now because the tears are blurring my vision and I can't see… I will write again soon….promiss

PS. You will never be forgotten EVER…
Love you bro… words can't even describe

i cant believe ur gone ur were an awesome cousin i remember 2 Christmases ago i spent the whole time putting kick me signs on ur back.
ganna miss ya Scotty

Our dearest Scotty:
From the day you were born, you were on a journey to touch the lives of so many, be loved by so many and give so much love in return.

Papa and I have cherished every single moment we have shared with you through the years. From the sleepovers, reading Beatrix Potter bedtime stories propped up on pillows and feeding each other cherrios to manning the helm of Papa's boat when you couldn't see much above the wheel; catching little fish and even big ones that didn't get away. Watching you drink those milkshakes and waiting for that huge smile letting me know that it had passed the test. We will never forget your big beautiful blue sparkling eyes and your warm, loving smile.

Now, since you have left us, each night I see a beautiful little boy running toward me with arms outstretched to greet me. As you get closer, you seem to be growing into a youg man but fading with each step. When we meet, we hug, say "love you", and then you are gone.

Scotty, we love so much and you will be in our hearts forever.

Grandma Coco and Papa Christmas

That was beautiful Cass, to Scott: well dude I don’t know but all of a sudden it just hit me I just realized that the best cousin I had is gone... I never got to see you enough when you were here, I should of stopped by your house more often and you told me I was welcome anytime... But I never did stop by, those conversations we would have about all your new toys you were always building and told me to come down and see them, but nope never would get the chance. I would only see you at family gathering mostly and have a good time even if you were making fun of me with Jew and Uncle Dan and that’s what I will remember always. I don’t know who’s going to fill that spot that you me and that little gang had at all the parties. I wanted you to bring me to the bar when I turned 19. I don’t think anything will be the same, but you’re always here man I love you, you will be here forever and always in my heart and in my dreams, and one day will see each other again, and we can hang out more than ever before.

Scott, i havnt written to you yet, i guess i dont think i was ready. What else can i say besides i miss you more than anything, I never thought i would loose you like this. Sometimes i feel like my entire life has been ripped away from me. You were my whole world, my bestfriend, and it hurts so much to know that we are never going to have the future we wanted. A big part of me is missing and i dont know if i will ever feel the same. The past 3 years have been amazing, we've always had our ups and downs but always managed to find our way back to eachother. We were meant for eachother. And now to let you go is going to be the hardest thing ill ever do. Just know that i will never forget, from our deepest talks, to hanging out with our friends, our i love you's, holding hands, you beeing the first thing i see when i wake up, our house, our cats, daisy, christmas, birthdays, your advice, your kiss, your laugh, those eyes, the way you could always make me smile, your touch, our plans in life, our fights, our make ups, beeing part of eachothers familys, our trips, our secrets, our phone calls, you were my shoulder to cry on, the one i turn to for comfort, and now i dont know where to go. I have never been closer with anyone in my life like i was with you, and i miss you terribly. Promise me youll stay with me, cause im going to need you now more than ever. I love you Scott and nothing will ever change that. I will carry you around in my heart along with our memories forever.

Dear Trish and Rennie,

My deepest condolences on the loss of your precious son. I pray for you and your family during this most difficult time.

Branka Stewin

My Dear Scotty...

You were my nephew. I babysat you. I changed your diapers. I took you to McDonald's. I made you ice cream sundaes (according to your very specific instructions). I helped you with your homework (sorry about that failed book report). I put up with watching the same SuperTed cartoon over and over again because you loved it.

You were my friend. We hung out when we could. We had a blast in Toronto. We made our own unique fun at family gatherings. We made fun of Uncle Rob. You chauffeured me around when I was stuck in Windsor with no car. We had some good long talks.

I'm going to miss you terribly. You will be forever in my heart.

Rest in peace.

Uncle Dan

Scotty, I was lucky enough to be your Aunt for 18 years. I had a love for you like you were my own. I miss you so much and you will be apart of my heart forever. I hope your mom and dad can find peace and know what a wonderful man they had raised, they should be very proud.
All my love,
Aunt Debbie

My condolences... my thoughts are with you all.

There are no words to express how much Papa and I miss you, Scotty. We spent a lot more time together when you were a young kid, but in the past few years, since you've been able to drive you would stop in just to say hello and you came to as many family functions as you could.

I told you when you were helping Brian on his house how much it meant to me that you were there because I saw you more often--I even got to take you lunch a couple of times. It was so good to have you at Hunter and Isabelle's first birthday on Nov 22nd--you can't imagine how much that means today. You even stopped in to see Papa Monday--no words can say how much he treasures that now.

You were our first and you grew up to be a wonderful human being. "Watching Scotty grow" was always my favourite song from the time your Dad was young--it will be my favourite till the end of time.

Love you forever, Grandma Sid and Papa Higginbottom.

Trish-
I am so sorry to hear about Scotty. I will always remember him playing with all Megan's "girly" toys at her 2nd birthday. I still remember pulling Scotty, Ryan and Meg all around the yard in Meg's wagon. I think that day sticks in my mind because it's when the whole family met Joe. I miss you so much and I'm so sorry I couldn't be there.
Your cousin,
Jenn

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

You meant alot to your family, and will be missed so much! R.I.P. Everyone still here will never be the same without you <3 <3

Rennie and Trish, I just found out and cannot fathom the sorrow you must feel.  I have never met Scott but I have known and loved my friendship with Rennie for many years.  My prayers are with you all.Joe

I still can't believe this happened. Seeing you at the beginning of October and talking about you coming to BC. I was looking forward to seeing you and getting to know you better. I can see by all the comments on Facebook that you were an amazing person. To know that you touched so many lives is a great thing. It must run in the family. You will be forever missed, but never ever forgotten. Rest In Peace Scottie.

We are so sorry and saddened to hear of our nephew passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Aunt Sharon and Uncle Bob

My deepest sympathy to the family. I went to high school with Scott Sr. I am very sorry to hear of your terrible loss.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers in your time of grief. Life just isn't going to be the same with you not here. You made an impact in everyone's lives. You will be missed but never forgotten!
Love ya!

You were born on the first day of my short and unillustrious racing career, a stigma that would stick with you. For every time I would remind you of this, you would say "I know my Mom tells me all the time." When you were young we affectionately nicknamed you Scotty, something else that would stick with you. As you grew up we would never see each other enough, but when our pathes crossed the meetings would be easy going and light hearted. Making the previous visit seem like the day before. You would tell me about how a childhood friend of mine would go on telling you how much you looked like me. It was comic relief to you but flattery for me, who knew you would grow up to be so good looking. A few months months ago I asked you to take on a big project with me, and of course out of the goodness of your heart and expecting nothing in return you agreed. So at a Higginbottom's pace, 1/2 hour work, one hour of shooting the breeze, we began. You would tell me stories of your life experiences with such youthfulness in your words and so much life to live in your eyes. I would hang on every word because I knew I would finally get to dust off a few stories of mine and you would have to listen. And listen you did, never judgeing and always offering laughter at the parts previously only I thought were funny. As the pace continued and the days turned into weeks, I realized that it was not about the work being done but the companionship we were sharing. The endless trips for supplies and the conversations. The ones where I would try to say something wise that you could take with you each day and be someone you could look up too. The conscious effort I made to call you Scott in respect of the young man you had become. It became about looking forward to spending the next day with my new best friend. Scott if you didn't know before you know now, I look up to you. I'll miss you Dude!
Uncle Brian

My thoughts and prayes are with the family at this hard time. I knew Scott from grade school, he always had a smile on his face... RIP Scott

It is with very heavy heart that I write this. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. My son, Brett and Scott have been friends forever and we are feeling his loss deeply. You are in our prayers. God bless you.
