About
Scott Oakley Obituary
Scott built a meaningful career as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), most recently at Virginia Urology and previously at St. Mary's Ambulatory Surgery Center. He was known not only for his skill and professionalism but also for his deep compassion as a caregiver. His colleagues were more than just coworkers-they were his second family. Whether they were coming up with silly nicknames for each other, engaging in jam battles, or sharing Little Debbie snack breaks to get through the day, Scott brought joy and camaraderie to the workplace.
Outside of work, Scott embraced life with enthusiasm and warmth. He had a passion for playing tennis at ACAC Midlothian with an incredible group of friends. He was an avid Formula 1 fan, rooting for Red Bull and Max Verstappen and loved traveling the world with Brycen. Scott also had a creative eye for interior design and found joy in curating his collection of vinyl records. He loved sports and played baseball at Campbell University.
Perhaps most importantly, Scott held a deep bond with his family. Scott was a devoted son and brother. Scott was loved dearly by his family and he loved his family just as much. He also cherished time spent with his niece and nephews, playing pretend and creating lasting memories.
Scott's presence was a gift to those who knew him. He had an infectious sense of humor that could brighten any room and a compassionate soul that made others feel seen and valued. He was kind, funny, patient, intelligent, and sweet-a bright light in a dark world.
Scott is survived by his loving partner, Brycen Bascomb; his parents, Steve and Sandra Oakley; his sister, Alexis Rummel; sibling-in-laws Benjamin and Jamie Bascomb, Kyle and Margaret Imperato, Brandon Bascomb, and Lucas Risse; as well as his niece and nephews-Oliver, Kenzey, Landon, and Logan. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
A celebration of life will take place on Saturday, March 8th from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at ACAC Midlothian Tennis Center, 11621 Robious Rd, Midlothian, VA 23113.

I dreamt about Scott last night. He was beautiful and smiling. He said he was not gone!

I got to play with Scott in one of Rob's inhouse round robins. Glad he was on my team. What a serve. I remember him as encouraging and friendly. An easy person to play doubles with from the first point.
I firmly belief God has a plan. But will never understand the senseless loss of someone before their time. I pray for Scott's loved ones and I pray Scott will watch out for us not only in the rough days ahead but always.

Scott - You will be missed. I'll always remeber you from the days at St. Chris in the late 90s. Your kindness and laughter brought joy to others everyday. Thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends.

Started playing tennis when Scott was first starting in the club, and I watched him progress and play to represent ACAC at the Thalhimer Club Challenge. Scott was so amazing with connecting people in the tennis community and the last message I received from Scott was to try and fit a new member into a Spring tennis team. Love you big guy and miss you

So sorry for your loss, Brycen. Scott was an amazing, funny, intelligent, charismatic, and loving person. He was an amazing practitioner and was so good to his patients. He had such a great sense of humor and was so fun to be around in the OR. We are all so sad for his loss but our memory of him makes us all smile. We lost one of the best

Scott was a one of a kind young man. It was a joy to work with him at SMASC. But he truly gained my respect and my love when after leaving there he went to Virginia Urology and promised to be my special needs son Wayne, CRNA. Scott turned all of Wayne's fears (and they were big) into calm seas in a way like no other had in the past. I will be eternally grateful for the gentle, loving care he showed my son.

Scott -
Your untimely passing will leave a huge hole in all of the hearts who had the pleasure to know you. You were hands down one of my most favorite CRNAs to be in the OR with.
To Scott's loved ones - I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Praying for peace and comfort in this unthinkable dark time,

I love you so much and I miss you even more! Everything little thing I look at reminds me of you. I'm so thankful they are all amazing memories from our travels to London, Paris, Vienna, Montreal, and the F1 races we went to. You were the one that got me hooked on playing tennis and you are the biggest reason I had such a good progress last year. I was looking forward to hopefully being at the same level as you at some point and being able to be your main tennis partner. You loved me unconditionally and you were always thinking about me. We had our differences, but we were always able to balance each other out. The most difficult thing will be just the simple everyday things; coming home to an empty house, checking the mail by myself, mowing the lawn alone, standing on the opposite side of the kitchen and throwing groceries to you to put in the pantry
