Scott Aubrey Hall passed away on August 24th at Onvida Health Yuma Medical Center, formerly Yuma Regional Medical Center at the age of 54.
Scott was born on July 12th, 1971, at the USAF Academy Hospital, Colorado Springs, Colorado. He attended pre-school and kindergarten in Pueblo, Colorado and moved to Yankton, South Dakota in 1977 where he completed his elementary education.
In 1986 Scott moved with his family to Yuma, Arizona and completed high school at Kofa High School. He began taking college courses at Arizona Western College in Yuma and started working at Yuma Regional Medical Center. He began his medical career as a phlebotomist in the laboratory and became sought out by nursing staff as the "expert and painless blood draw person".
Scott eventually went into nursing training and ultimately received his RN degree from Arizona Western College. He then went on to work in the ER, Post Surgical floor and eventually the Intensive Care Unit at YRMC. He developed an extremely positive reputation amongst his fellow nursing staff and physicians as a caring, efficient, loyal, trustworthy and professional health care provider. His patients always commented on his great smile, caring attitude and loving personality.
Scott developed several personal health challenges during his career but always managed to take the high road and attempt to stay positive towards life even when under significant pain. He often stated he "was given a bad hand of cards" when it came to his personal health.
Scott was an avid Raiders fan and recently became a big fan of the WNBA's Indiana Fever. He enjoyed Family Game nights playing Cribbage, Farkle and Dominoes (where he openly cheated). He also loved riding his Can Am Spyder, especially on road trips to Mexico.
Scott is survived by his parents, Jim & Mary Hall of Spirit Lake, Iowa; Brother Jim Hall Jr. of Yuma, Arizona; nieces, Kyndra (Kevin) Leake of Suffolk, Virginia and their children, Tre and Kennedy; niece, Lakyn Hall of Anaheim, California; nephew, Chase Hall of Williams, Arizona.
Scott was a beloved son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew and friend. He loved patient care and dedicated over 3 decades to his profession. He will be greatly missed.
