Scott was an avid lover of being a "river rat". One of his favorite hobbies was driving his Glastron boat down the Mississippi river with his family in tow. Often stopping for a nice prime rib along the way. Boat in breakfast and the Rukus Run were always top priority. Another favorite hobby was jamming out with his guitar in the garage; Rock was his favorite. Many weekends were spent with his daughter, Savana, on their quads drag racing. Scott also loved teaching his son, Chauncey, how to play guitar. He was a great carpenter and electrician. He thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and often made a lot of new friends along the way. His favorite "child" was his beloved rabbit, Snowball.
Cremation rites have been accorded. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
