I met Scott his and my freshman year. He was in my class every year after that. He was an amazing kid and I'm truly going to miss him so much. He sat next to me in our english class and it's hard going back to class everyday knowing he's not going to show. I'm truly sorry to all his family and i want you all to know that I'm going to remember him forever. Also he was a very happy kid and thats how I'm going to remember him. So again I'm sorry to all his family. R.I.P Scott I'm sure you're in a better place now.

Scott was my beloved nephew. Words cannot describe the sense of loss we are feeling right now. He was such a good young man - never complained and never mean-spirited. I always would feel more lighthearted, like a younger man myself when I was around him. To see the pictures now, of him in my arms as a baby are difficult, but the stories and accounts of his friends, relatives, and acquaintances here make the pain a little more bearable for now.
Thank you all for your support.

Scott was a great kid, he always knew how to make someone laugh. He was never a talker but if you ever saw him you would know that he was a good person all around, he will be missed by many and i hope that hes alright now and finally at peace.

Dear Scott,
Although we just met at Track intramurals this season I welcomed you into our workout group, I called you a "weakling", you called me "crazy". We had a bunch of laughs working out together. I will miss you and I will dedicate the next four years of track to you. I will be running in memory of you. Miss you terribly already. May you rest in peace.

I didn't know Scott that well but I did have some classes with him and he was a cool guy. He was a nice guy. Everyone that's ever known him will remember him for who he was and what he did for each and everyone of us. I will light a white candle for him. R.I.P. Scott you will be in our hearts.

...wow. Well you know i just met Scott this year, and as soon as he came into my first period, he picked the perfect table to sit at. he sat down right next to me, and everyday when i came in, he'd steal my chair. we'd always have a chair battle and i usually came out on top. During class we'd always make funny faces and i'd doodle all over his notebooks and his hand. ha. he'd always end up erasing it, but he was a funny kid, and brighter than most people gave him credit for. there will always be a chair there for him. always.

I was one of Scott's friends, I met him a while back. We had history and gym/health class together. I remember I'd always be so behind on my history work and Scott would never just give me the answers, he'd actually help me figure them out. I used to look up and he'd be staring at me and we'd have staring contests in the middle of class and we'd get in trouble for laughing. He really was the nicest boy ever, I don't think I ever went a day without having him make me smile. I still remember his laugh, and I'm really sorry for this loss. Scott, you'll never be forgotten, rest easy kid, love you.

My daughters went to school with Scott, I had just met him last week in CVS and he really made an impression because he was so patient and polite and smiled even though I was at the register and changed my mind about something a few times. He was just a very sweet spirit. My prayers are with his family and friends.

Scott was a very good kid, with a bright future ahead of himself....I first met him in 9th grade, we've worked together on a few occasions; the most recent being when we acted out a play on king Arthur last week before the break. over the years I've had scott multiple times in my classes. this year he was in my 1st and 4th period classes. It was nice having him there because occasionaly he would say the funniset things. he will be missed

Me and Scott weren't that close. but i still remember how he would greet me whenever i walked through those doors at cvs, with a smile on his face. He would always cheer me up, just talking to him at the register. or seeing him around the lot at school. He was quiet, but when he wanted to be, he was hilarious. scott must have been raised by a nice family, because he was polite to everyone and anyone. scott's family will be in our prayers. we will all miss you scott. you were a great person.

I've known Scott for a while, since the middle of elementary school. He's always been the quiet one of the bunch and never got in anyone's way. He usually just kept to himself, but could be a funny kid when he wanted to be. During this past summer I'd see him everyday at CVS. Im sorry to hear that this tragedy has struck your family like this. I wish the best for you all. He will be greatly missed.

Scott was in my math class i sat next to him he was a very quite person but he was a funny person! I will always rember him and he is in a better place with his mother.

Dear McPherson Family,
I knew Scott from 7th grade, we weren't that close but we would occasionally see each other in the hallway. He was a great guy and you should be proud that you raised such a nice young man. I wish I could have known him better but what I do know of him, he was polite, kept to himself, he was just an all around great kid and I wish the best for all of you.

I was in scotts first period class at PME, pretty quiet kid but pretty cool once i got to know him. i know when they told us about his death this morning nobody really knew what to say, everyone was just kind of shocked...like we just came back from thanksgiving break something like that just isnt supposed to happen. I know he'll be missed by all our class even the ones who didnt really know him, like myself. im glad i did get to know him though, even if it was on a slight friendship basis. He'll be missed and he's in a better place now, i think things'll be easier once we know all the facts about what exactly happend to the kid

Scotts Family and Friends:
Scott was one of the nicest people I have ever met. He came to work everyday with a BIG smile on, and it never left his face. He will be missed at CVS not only by his fellow employees, but by the customers as well. He was a great kid.

Hi, I was one of Scott's classmates, and I met him sometime around the 3rd grade. While we weren't the closest, I knew that Scott was one of the most observant people that I've ever met in my entire life. When I was down about something, Scott always knew how to make me, or the other people sitting at our table laugh. He was always telling stories about his job at CVS. I am so shocked by his passing but I really want to offer my deepest sympathies to his family and all his other friends because I know what a tremendous loss this was. Scott is in a better place, and I know he's watching above us and smiling that infectious smile that makes everyone else smile too.

Scott and the family are in my prayers in hope that strength can be found and as hard as it is to realize, scott is now at peace in a happy place looking down on all of us. With love from a fellow classmate and friend,

Scott & Family,
Like William, I am also one of his closests friends. We will always be the best of friends no matter what. Even though he wasn't that much of the talker between the two of us he knew how to make me or any of his other friends laugh. Honestly...for all of his friends that knew him as well as i did...I think he was the best guy around that anyone can talk to because he always knew exactly how to change your mood around. And to be honest with you, he was like a brother to me...and it just hurts so much that it traumatizes my mind and my heart that he's gone...but i know he's in a better place now and that he's at peace...I just wish i could have said goodbye, you know?...I miss him so much!...but if there is anything that me or my family can do let us know!
With Loving Care,
Jen Reinhardt

I am a friend of Derrick Ables and wanted to let you know that my family is praying that your family will feel the arms of God around you. God does so love you. I have no words beyond that except maybe to rely on your family and friends when you are in need and make that need known. Your circle of support is greater then you may realize.

I remember the first time I met Scott, it was after a long summer of us talking through his friend Matt. Scott and I became friends when I first came to Pocono Moutain East. He was so funny, he always made me laugh. Scott never got tired of me talking about my new boyfriend. He was a great friend. I will never forget Scott. When our friend Brandon told us what happened this morning, I didn't want to believe it.I will remember the last time I saw him, he was at his locker and I was walking out to my bus, and we hugged. I know he's in a better place and that he is looking down on all of us. Scott, just know that you will be missed by everyone and that we love you!!

Scott & family,
I am a friend & fellow student of Derrick Ables in GA. Derrick has spoken so much of you and your family. (He even passed on a few jokes of Little Scott's from his last visit with you.) Your friendship is so important to Derrick. There are no words to express such sorrow for your losses but I will be praying for all of you. Scott - please know how important you are to Derrick and never hesitate to reach out to him when you need him - he will always be there for you. Derrick is a great friend to many of us.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all,
