Scott was so wonderful to know - sweet, kind, compassionate and a model of servant leadership. We first crossed paths as colleagues and then later at the Portage Dog Park. He was never too busy too help someone, whether a patient, colleague - he always offered a hand to anyone he saw struggling or in need of assistance. He touched the hearts of all who knew him. He was an Angel among us and now an Angel for eternity. My heart goes out to his children and family. May his memory be a blessing.

Scott was my next-door neighbor as a young boy and later as father of his precious children. God placed Bree and Cameron in his life and he did an awesome them job raising them. They needed a father and Scott needed them. Gone too soon and forever missed.
