OAKLAND PARK, Fla. — Andrew Jackson Scutt (Andie), 24, of Oakland Park, Fla., and former resident of Mountain Top, passed away suddenly in an accident on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2020, in Florida.
Born in Kingston on Jan. 12, 1996, he was the son of April and James Scutt III. He graduated from Crestwood High School, Class of 2014 and furthered his education at Luzerne County Community College, where he achieved and Associate of Applied Science Degree in Hospitality and Business Management.
While in high school, he was a member of the Crestwood Marching Band and also participated in Crestwood's theater productions. He found a love for the French language while at school and traveled to France to enjoy the culture. Andie also loved music and was ready to put on show for any available audience.
Andie found happiness in Florida and was thriving. He was proud of his work as a companion, comforting hospice patients in their time of need. Andie also worked the local pizza place and pursued a passion for cooking anything you could imagine. He fashioned his recipes from memory and rarely used anything written.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Marilyn Ide, of Exeter, Paul Grey, of Duryea and paternal grandparents, James and Florence Scutt, of Dallas.
Today, we find comfort that Andie is with his beloved Grandma Scutt, cooking and listening to music, along with Grandpa Scutt.
He is survived by his parents, James and April Scutt III, of Mountain Top, brother, Russell Ide and girlfriend, Jess Kennedy and niece, Kaylee Ide, of Exeter, sister, Ashley Rogo (whom he affectionately called "Ashley Mom") and her husband, Robbie; nieces, Zoey (his "Baby Doo"), Paisley and Piper, of Mountain Top; and sister, Brianna Scutt and boyfriend, Christian Legath, Mountain Top, several aunts, uncles, cousins and friends throughout the country.
Andie made friends wherever he went leaving a lasting impression with his vibrant personality, positive attitude and contagious laugh. As Zoey (Andie's 5 year old niece) so aptly said, "Uncle Dew Yoo is in the stars now."
Funeral Services will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday from the Yeosock Funeral Home, 40 S. Main St., Plains with Pastor Thomas Harmon officiating.
Relatives and friends may call from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, with a evening memorial service at 6:30 p.m. conducted by Pastor J.P. Bohanan of Christ United Church, Mountain Top.

I find peace from this tragedy knowing that today Andie continues on his journey to eternal life. Life was taken from him at too young of a an age, but my peace is knowing he has a greater purpose that's he has been called upon. Today, I say goodbye to a dear friend. As your journey begins my thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and friends. Goodbye AJ.

AJ was love, joy, and laughter wrapped up in a person. You couldn't not smile when you were near him. His laugh was infectious, his voice was music, and his whole being was magical. He was one of those people who always looked more there than everyone else. He is going to be missed so much, because he touched everyone he met. RIP my darling boy. I am proud that you were one of my "kids".

AJ was such a light. Everywhere AJ went, there was joy and happiness. I'll always remember the first time I heard AJ sing Liza Minelli's Cabaret, and I'll never forget the way it made me feel.

AJ, it's been the loneliest week of my life. I miss you and your glowing smile. Wherever you were you lit up the room with your personality. You were always fun to be around. Even though I knew you just a short time, you provided me with a life time of bad jokes. But I always laughed with you. AJ, watch over your mom, family and friends. I will never forget you
