In Loving Memory of Scott Arthur Little

Cherishing a Life of Curiosity, Creativity, and Connection

Celebrating Scott's JourneyBorn on July 18, 1975, Scott Arthur Little's fascination with the mysteries of electronics was evident from his earliest days. As a child, he eagerly explored how things worked and, with time, transformed this curiosity into a lifelong passion. Scott built and rebuilt his own PCs and 3D printers, and his collection of gadgets was legendary-highlighted by a working Commodore 64, a testament to his appreciation of technology's roots.

Scott's love for electronics naturally segued into the world of PC games, where adventures in Diablo and Minecraft awaited. Live action role-playing games held a special place in his heart, particularly "Vampire, the Masquerade." Scott and his friends-among his closest companions were Matt Oldfield, Zac and Holly Race-became deeply involved in "One World by Night," an online role-playing community, traveling together to chapters across the U.S. and even into Mexico. These journeys were sources of lasting joy and camaraderie.

Passions and PursuitsScott's enthusiasm for science fiction was boundless. He reveled in the worlds of Dr. Who, Star Wars, and Star Trek, with Deep Space 9 standing out as his definitive Trek experience. His love for these universes manifested in an extensive Lego collection, featuring meticulously constructed Star Wars ships-each a reflection of his imagination and dedication.

Culinary pleasures also played a part in Scott's story. Strawberry shakes at Bauder's were a special treat, and stopping for a pizza at Casey's was simply irresistible-his personal "nectar of the gods."

Professional ExperienceScott was an accomplished IT Service Desk Operations Expert with over 15 years of leadership, team-building, and performance enhancement experience. He managed complex projects and operations teams across 10 different countries on 5 continents, providing a wide range of expertise in both the IT Managed Services industry and Business Relationship Management. Scott held significant roles at companies such as Logicalis, CompuCom, and Atos/Siemens where he was responsible for service desk delivery, customer experience, and global service improvement programs. His dedication to excellence was recognized through numerous awards, including the Logicalis High-5 Winner and CompuCom Presidents Club. Scott's legacy of professionalism and commitment to his work will be remembered by all who had the privilege of working with him.

Family and LegacyScott is lovingly remembered by his mother, Victoria Gibson; father, William Little, Jr.; his sister, Laura Little Havighurst (Joe); his adored nephew, Jack, and niece, Emma, with whom he cherished holiday celebrations. He also leaves behind his beloved cats, Mork and Mindy, a reminder of the gentle affection he held for all animals.

Gathering in RemembranceA celebration of life will be held in Scott's honor in the coming weeks. Scott's legacy remains in the laughter he shared, the friendships he forged, and the curiosity he inspired. He will be deeply missed, but forever remembered for the passions that animated his life and the love he gave so freely.
