Scott Christopher McAneny, 45, of Nashville, TN, was tragically and unexpectedly lost on November 27, 2025.
He came into the world in Marietta, GA in 1979 to Samuel Wright McAneny, IV and Mary Ann Patterson. Scott graduated from McGavock High School in 1998 before attending the University of Tennessee, Knoxville for one year and then Volunteer State studying Physical Therapy before Covid years.
Scott’s unexpected passing comes as a shock to his family, friends, and loved ones, who are still reeling at the loss. Prior to suffering two strokes in 2023, Scott lived a vibrant life and still had so much ahead of him.
