Scott Allen Betts

We'll miss you, Scott, and cherish the moments we got to spend with you.

It's bittersweet going through all the old photos, realizing Scott can't be in any future ones. And that sucks for everyone. But every photo is a reminder of how much Scott enjoyed life and cared for his friends, what a great addition he was to every situation, and how much he was loved and will be missed.

My eyes keep leaking as I think about Scott.

I met Scott at a car show as I was being introduced to my husband´s best friend. I didn´t know how lucky I was at that time or how much my life was going to be filled with so much joy through dinners, movies, theater, more dinners, traveling, car shows, home shows, and just hanging out. There isn´t just one specific memory that comes to mind. Every single memory is a precious one.

He made everyone, even strangers feel comfortable with his kindness, brilliant humor and quick wit and kept everyone around him laughing, even in hard times. How I´ll miss his comedic impressions!

He was always willing to listen to me, and he gave the best life advice. His wisdom helped me through work conflicts, family drama, other friendship situations, and raising 4 teenagers. And taking his advice always made me a better wife, sister, mom, and friend.

He made life better. He had the biggest heart, as he genuinely cared so hard for everyone and was willing to help in a split second from huge help to simply dropping by and icee for my sick husband.

I feel so grateful and honored to have such an amazing friend.

Scott's presence in our lives will be sorely missed. You always knew you were going to have a good time when you saw him. He was game for trying new things, like a rattlesnake appetizer in Arizona. But it wasn't just that he was fun to be around - he would help people in any way he could, and we will miss his loyal friendship.

Words fail. You will always be loved and missed terribly, Scottie.

I am beyond saddened that Scott, my beloved nephew, has passed away. My heart hurts for Scott's passing. I still cannot wrap my brain around the thought of losing Scott. He was so fun and funny to be around. He was what I call GOLD...just like his Dad.

May God hold Scott in His Arms Forever. He was my son Jim's Best friend since childhood, Jim's college roommate, Best Man at Jim's wedding, and he will be truly missed. Scott's funniest memory of us was our green velvet sofas, which the boys could never sit on. Scott always laughed at me for those sofas. Prayers for his family to stay strong at this time of loss. Sincerest Sorrow, Don, Linda, and Tommy Derych

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
