I went to school with Scott and remember some real good times with him. Prime example was in 5th or 6th grade, Scott was on the traveling basketball team. Anytime we needed to foul someone, we could rely on Scott. I'm thankful that I was able to know someone like him. He will be greatly missed.

Scott was a great guy, and a good friend I have known him and his family for 20 plus years and my prayers are with all of you at this time it seems so unfair when life throws us a curveball like this the last time I really got to talk to Scott he helped me fix my car and when I offered him money he would not take it and said that is what friends are for, that was the kind of man that Scott was, he will be greatly missed...

Scott is and will be in my heart forever... He was such a wonderful husband, father, son and friend... He had a smile that would light up a room the minute he walked in and a laugh that was so contagious it spread to everyone around him... My thoughts and prayers goes out to Jenny and the kids, Linda, Rhonda and the rest of the Weir family... RIP Scott... You will never be forgotten...
