Memories and Condolences
for Scott Kubic
October 13, 2009
Scott, Another year has passed and we continue to miss you. Again the kids and I walked in the Out of the Darkness walk in memory of you. Joelene, Joey,Trish (the dish as you called her),Ashlee and Emily walked with us. Those occasions are so difficult for us for they are filled with sadness knowing that the reason we walk is because you are no longer here with us. It was again a beautiful fall day when we walked. The kids look forward every year to walking to honor you. It is very important to them. Two years have passed and some days are still so incredibly hard.It brings us comfort to know that you are with God. We love you and will continue to miss you all of our lives.Please know that you will always be alive in our hearts. Love always, Melisa

Dear Kubic family,
I just learned of Scott's passing this week after reading the Morning Call article "Out of Darkness." I was very saddened by this news and wish you would accept my deepest sympathy. I was one of Scott's roomates at N.C.C.

Scott,
Today we walked in your honor. We walked with many families who have suffered the same tragedy. You were not alone in your suffering and neither are we. I’m not comforted knowing that others suffer as you did it just makes me sadder. We remembered and celebrated you today at the Out of the Darkness Walk. How perfect to celebrate your life with a walk (one of your favorite things to do). Lauren and Cole walked the entire 3 miles. No small feat for a 9 and 5 year old. I’m so proud of them and I’m sure you are too. There were about 30 of us walking in your honor and we had a beautiful sunny day for it. After the walk we had a picnic and the kids played soccer and Frisbee. Your parents came and we had a good day full of memories of you. Of course the tears flowed for you are incredibly missed. We love you and are thankful that you are healthy in heaven. Tell God we thank him for your life and for bringing you into mine.
Love forever,
Your wife,
Melis

Happy Birthday Scott! We are so sad that we don’t have you here with us to celebrate your life. You were an incredible man. You helped so many people and many of them wrote to me about how kind and helpful you were to them. I even got a phone call from Paul. He told me how you turned his life around just weeks before your death. Your life made an incredible impact on so many lives.
The kids and I are trying to find a sense of normalcy although nothing feels normal without you in our lives. We still miss you terribly. We talk about you everyday; the fun we had, the good man you were, and just the little things we remember about you. We talk to you every night and I am sure you hear us.
We went to your grave today and took things that remind us of you; Hershey Kisses, chocolate chip cookies, balloons, and a fire truck. The sadness is so deep and I miss you so. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to spend my life without you. I just want to call out your name when I’m at home with the kids and I need your help. But you are not here. It’s hard knowing that you’ll never be here again. You and God need to help me get through this and help me raise the kids, as we wanted to.
Mike Reich and the BFD have been amazing in their support of us. You would be so proud of them!
Through our tears we tried to celebrate and honor your life today. Even though your life was way too short, we love and miss you and I think you can see that from heaven. This is soooo hard. Happy 40th Birthday my love!!
Love forever,
Melisa

I'm sitting here not knowing really what to say. I can't believe it's been a year and I still can't believe that your not here with us Scott. It just seems like it's not real and I wait to see you or hear you. I am so thankful that I have Melisa and the kids in my life and I'm thankful that she has let us share and make us feel like we are a part of your family. I'm not sure you ever knew Scott just how important you were to us and so many others... and you always will be.Some how I hope we let you know that. Joey and I still think of you everyday and we still talk to you and about you. Joey misses you so much, I very happy that he had you for that time that he did. You showed him so much and gave him memories that he will always have, I just wish we had more to add to that list. We will have more with Melisa and the kids and we will always let them know just how great you were and are. Your always in our hearts , thoughts and prayers, as are they and all of your family. I know your at peace and I know your watching over us and smiling down on us always. We love you and miss you .. Joelene and Joey

Melisa, Lauren, and Cole,
I've been staring at the screen for fifteen minutes trying to decide what to say, but here's what i came up with...
It's been a year, and a tough year no doubt, but hopefully this year ahead will bring good times with family and friends. You have many people that care very much about you and will continue to be here for you through good times and tough times. Scott will be remembered in your thoughts and memories and will still be important to you for many years to come, but try to enjoy the good times with your family and remember the good times you shared with Scott and hopefully that is enough to get you through the day.
Rest in Peace Scott.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. A year ago your life was as it should be, and within a few hours your lives have changed forever. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing I think all of you are.
Melisa you are a strong and wonderful mother.
Lauren and Cole you are such brave and wonderful children.
I know that tomorrow will be a tough day, but the love of your friends and family will hopefully ease the pain. Remember that we are always here for you and will do anything you need.
Rest in Peace Scott. You are missed terribly, but we all know that you are with god and in a much better place.

I am so sorry for you and your childrens loss. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. You do not know me and I did not have the privilege of knowing your husband but my two children attend Whitehall School District and we learned of your husbands passing through school. My husband passed away unexpectedly on May 22, 2007 at the age of 37. My children and I know what you are going through and I wanted to reach out to you that if you ever need anyone to talk to please feel free to contact me! There are days that talking extremely helps and other days you just do not want to talk to anyone but him. Words cannot express what you all are feeling. My deepest sympathy. God Bless you all.
Cole Scott Kubic
October 15, 2007
Scott,
One day about two weeks after you died, Cole asked me to write down all the things you two did together. These are his memories:
Riding on the swings together in the backyard.
Daddy, Pa and I rode on the trains and trolley at Steamtown and then ate the Coney Island Weiners that Daddy loved.
Daddy would scared me playing Monster and I would cry but Daddy always made me feel better.
Daddy, Dimbo, and I would have breakfast together at the Whitehall Diner.
Daddy and I would go to the book store for hours.
Daddy would take Lauren and I to Don Pablos for dinner a lot when Mommy worked.
Daddy would have a bowl of ice cream, almost always chocolate after dinner.
Cole loves and misses you Honey.
Melisa Kubic
October 15, 2007
Dearest Scott,
Hi honey. I’m so sad that you are gone. The kids are sad too and we all miss you terribly. I understand what you did and I’m not angry. I’m just really sad that you had to go. I know that now you’re healthy and free of the pain and sadness that you felt here on earth. I’m so sorry that it got so bad and that I couldn’t make it better. I wish you had woken me up that night when you got home. I’m sorry I let you down. I’m grateful that we together had a great day that day and that you drove Lauren home from school.
I love you so much and miss you so much. God will take care of you and us. Lauren and Cole are struggling to be without you. We talk about you all the time and discuss the fun things you did with them. They miss your smile and playfulness. I really miss your touch and affection.
I thank God that now your vision is clear and you can see all of the love that surrounded you here that you couldn’t experience while you were here. You were sooo loved by so many people. Everyone writes about your friendly ways, your helpfulness, your smile, and your kindness. You were all those things and more.
You are my love, my partner, and soul mate. I had looked forward to growing old with you. The pain of losing you is so intense and I will forever miss you. I will take care of our kids and they will always remember their daddy. For you are the only one who is and forever will be their dad. I wish you could have stayed in their lives longer, but you leave them a legacy of love. And they will always be proud that you were their dad chosen by God.
You were an amazing person and I can’t wait to see you again. I love you and only you know how much. Be at peace and know that God will take care of us as I know He is taking care of you.
I LOVE YOU!
Your loving wife,
Melisa

Dear Melissa,
A prayer for you my friend. I will always be here for you, Lauren and Cole anytime, anywhere...
I said a prayer for you my friend,
That your struggles would soon end.
That you would feel God’s peace with you,
As you trust Him each day through.
I prayed that you would feel His love,
Rain down on you from up above.
I asked Him to take care of you,
Fill you with joy and laughter too.
I prayed that He would let you know,
That He will never let you go.
That He’d pour blessings down on you,
And make your grey skies turn to blue.
I prayed that God would give you rest,
And that He’d answer your request.
I asked the Lord to touch your soul,
Fill you with hope and make you whole.
My friend I prayed that you would feel,
His gentle touch reach down and heal.
I said a prayer for you my friend,
My best wishes to you I send.
