FORT EDWARD – Heaven has gained an angel, Scott Skellie, 53, on Sunday, May 9, 2021, at Slate Valley Center in Granville.
Born March 4, 1968 in Glens Falls, he was the son of the late Edward Skellie, Sr. and Donna (Way) Skellie.
Scott attended South Glens Falls High School.

Scott loved fishing throughout the Adirondacks, riding his bike on the Feeder Canal Trails, and autobody repair. He will be remembered for his can-do attitude and hard-working disposition.

He will be missed by his pets, which he loved deeply.
Besides his parents, Scott was predeceased his stepfather, Tom Grover; his brother, Ed Skellie, Jr. and his sister, Connie Hafner.
