Scott Thomas Merrell of Springfield passed away April 23, 2022. He was 63. Scott was born July 4, 1958 in Newport Beach, California to Stanley and Connie (Murr) Merrell. In 1967, the family moved up from California and settled in the Mohawk Valley area. Scott attended Mohawk Elementary, Briggs Middle School and Thurston High School where he played football.
Scott loved helping people in any way that they needed him. His love for playing the guitar gave him the opportunity to teach others how to play. He also enjoyed playing the drums. Growing up in the Mohawk Valley gave him the space to ride his many motorcycles. Scott loved golfing and even made his own golf clubs.
He was the best son, brother, uncle, great uncle, and friend. With his amazing faith and love for people he touched so many lives and will be greatly missed.
Scott is preceded in death by his parents Stan (1991) and Connie (2021) Merrell. He is survived by his sisters, Robin Sanders, Shawn Merrell, Shannon Jones; brother, Steve Merrell and many Nieces and nephews.
