Scott Goering Obituary

Goering, Scott Robert, 18, of Jupiter, FL, suddenly and tragically passed away Tuesday, May 16th. He will be lovingly missed by his devoted parents, Merrily and Don Goering; sisters Colby and Whitney Goering, and his large extended family: Harvey and Viola Goering and Beth Sugalski of Gainesville, FL, Chuck and Betsy Goering of Chicago, IL, Katie, Christy, Theresa and Davey Peoples of Virginia, Bob and Marian Allen of Delray Beach, FL, Diana and Randy Briggs of Ocala, FL, Allison, Bo and Nadia Briggs of Ocala, FL, and Nancy, Abbie and Maggie Schwaderer of Boca Raton, FL. Scott was due to graduate 4th in his class from Jupiter Community High School on Thursday, May 25, where he was the Science Pathfinder Nominee, the Secretary of the National Honor Society, the Spanish Honor Society, the Science Honor Society, and the FJAS. He was especially thrilled to have been on the Tennis Team at Jupiter High. Scott loved playing tennis competitively and socially, and regularly challenged his Mom on the court on the weekends when he wasn't boating with his Dad, or playing ping-pong on the deck with his sisters and friends. Scott was a happy and energetic young man with a wide circle of loving friends. He had an infectious smile and an empathic heart, which made everyone around him feel special and inspired. He had dreams of studying Neurobiology and Psychology at the University of Florida, where he hoped to change the world and make it a better place. Now the world is diminished because Scott's beautiful light no longer shines in it."May you build a ladder to the stars, and climb on every rung, May you stay forever young". Services will be held Saturday, May 20th, at 11:00 A.M. at Jupiter First Church, 1475 Indian Creek Parkway, Jupiter, FL 33458. Tax deductible contributions may be made to the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, 700 So. Dixie Hwy, West Palm Beach, FL, 33401, for the benefit of a Scholarship established in the name of Scott R. Goering, to be awarded annually to a special and deserving graduating Senior at Jupiter Community High School.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned...
--Yeats (1919)

I can no longer look for answers; the search is a futile one. I can look only for peace.

I remember sitting in the auditorium with everyone and wasn't sure why the seniors had worried looks on their faces or why some of them were crying until I met up with my sister afterwards. I just want you to know that you're not forgotten, and you never will be. We miss you <3

I think about Scott every day. I can't ask questions anymore, but I am reminded of you constantly and I think it's you up there in heaven telling me to "smile like I mean it". You've given me a wonderful perspective on life, thank you. My prayers go out daily for friends and family, a lot of us still have heavy hearts. Love you babe, and you were right, my sister is cooler than me ;-) she loves hearing that story!

More than a year later, it is still difficult to write in this guest book. I was there at the funeral, I think the whole school was. Everyone loved him, he was just that amazing.

Dear Don and Merrily,
I only found out about two weeks ago that you lost your son last year. Don, Peter, who worked for your folks at the store FOREVER it seems was at The Wine & Cheese Gallery and we were reminising about the old store location and how I knew you guys and then he told me. I don't think any other thought was in my mind for days after the late news I learned. To bear this reality seems so unbearable and I cannot think of any words that I could say that would comfort you all. I will think of you and your children and never forget this bright young star all of you lost. My heart reaches out to you, forever.
Your friend always,
Liz Fetty

February 14, 2007

my condolences go out to the Goering family, its taken me a while to sign this guest book because i miss scott so much that just the thought of him being gone hurts so much. I hope that you never forget that God(Jehovah)is almighty and he has the power to allow you to see Scott again, if you only believe in HIS son Jesus Crist.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of your son, Scott. One of my regrets is never having known your son. He has touched our lives more than some people I Do know! What a special young man he is. I visit him often and because of that I feel as if I had known him. He was truly blessed to have had your love. That is why he was such a wonderful young man.. Always in our thoughts, The Stafford family

Dear Goering Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. I had lost my father when I was 18. My father died from a heart attack. No one in my family saw this coming. Ever since his loss, I can only remember the good times. I only have excellent memories of my father. I can only hope you have the same of your son.

To the Goerings:



I didn't know Scott except through his uncle, and my friend Chuck Goering's high praises, and through the well-deserved tributes paid by so many who knew and loved him. It's clear he was a very special young man who inspired and uplifted everyone around

him. I can't imagine the sense of loss you must feel. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Merrily and Family. Scott is in heaven. He is seated at the right hand of the Father. Without a doubt. Without one doubt! In times like these we must all reach for our faith.



October 2005 - our son's college roommate's two sisters (ages 15 and 17) were killed in a car accident in Boston. I have felt the Murphy family's pain each and every minute of each and every day since last October, but, they are getting through this . . . with their deep faith.



May the Lord bless you, keep you, and guide you each and every minute of each and every day in the months to come.



All our love, Barbara Pattillo Lanahan and Family

To the Goering Family,

My family is so saddened for your loss. Too many JHS kids have lost their lives in car accidents over the years and I pray that it will come to an end. Scott seemed to be a shining star and I know GOD has special plans for him in heaven. Our girls played softball together with JTAA years ago and I've had the pleasure of seeing you Merrily at the GAP on several occasions in the past. Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this very sad time. GOD BLESS,

Its so sad when society loses a young man with so much promise and such a positive influence on the lives of others around him. He accomplished more in 18 years than I have in 41 years. Reading about his success in his life has inspired me to achieve more in mine.

To Don and Merrily--I am in Scotland and just got some of the details on Scott's accident. I am so sorry I was not able to be there for his funeral. As a fairly new parent, I can only begin to imagine the pain you have suffered. No one should ever have to go through what you are going through. I know that everyone is praying for you and that some day the pain will become tolerable. You will be in our thoughts and prayers as well.

Corinne Harvey

May 22, 2006

Dear Goering family

Last week when I read the tragic article

in the Palm Beach Post about the passing

of your son Scott, I cried. You see, I

have a son who is 17, will turn 18 on June 13th. I felt immediately

connected to you and have thought of

you everyday since and cried some more. I try to imagine your pain but

I have to stop myself because its too unbearable.My son is also the youngest with two older sisters probably around the same ages as yours. Mu son is my baby and also the"golden boy" to us and to his sisters. I read about the funeral in both the PB Post







and the

SUN SENTINEL. What a lovely tribute to your son. He will rest in peace.

I will never forget you all and Scott and have prayed daily that God help you get to sleep at night and get up in the morning. I know you will never be the same but I hope in time you will be able to smile again and enjoy some semblance of life.If anything can be positvie about this may it be that Scott's legacy to those of us unknown is that we thank

God for just one more day with our

loved one. God only takes the best

on this earth and at their best and

brightest. I have daily and will keep praying that God helps you through this most terrible of times.

Just know how many people are thinking of you now and will continue to keep you in their prayers. God bless you all,

Sincerely, Corimme Harvey

When I heared the news that your son was killed in a car accident I couldn't belive another family had lost a son at such a young age. My nephew, Parks, was just killed 3 weeks ago in a car accident coming home from a concert in Miami, he was only 20. Our family truely knows the pain you are all feeling at this time. From everyting I have been reading Scott sounds like an amazing guy just like our beloved Parks. I'm sure they have already meet each other in heaven and have became best friends. Again my thought and prayers are with all of you.If you would like to talk or need anything my email is [email protected].

My deepest sympathy is extended to you all. I am deeply saddened over the tragic death of a boy I did not even know. I live in Abacoa and leave thru Parkside every day. It is a very dangerous turn. The memorial you placed there is beautiful and very touching...it will be a reminder to everyone. May your faith carry you through and may wonderful memories comfort your heart.

Dear Merrily and family,



My name is Donna York and I am Stephen Ciaglia's mother. We met at Stephen's Memorial Service at Jupiter First in late October, 2004.



I am so very sorry that another family has lost a wonderful son. I have read all of Scott's acolades and I know he was a truly wonderful person and son.



In the last week I have thought about you, your family and Scott and I know the pain you all have.



I hope your faith in your God and in your Church helps you all heal in some way.



If you ever need to talk to someone who has shared this tragedy, please do not hesitate to call me.



My phone number is 743-9041.

I am writing this to say how very deeply saddened I am by Scott's death. I did not know him personally but have heard over and over again what a wonderful, bright and caring young man he was. To have all this acknowledgement of one's life is truly a credit to his parents and family members who helped to mold his life. He was liked by everyone at JHS, teachers, students in every grade and any who happen to have him cross their path. I lost my 18 year old grandson to a freak accident just before he was to graduate also and this has been heavy on my heart. God will comfort you and your family in the times to come and Scott will always be there til you are once again united in heaven.

To the family and friends of Scott, I truely know what you are going through and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I lost my mother to a car accident in Jupiter on March 8th. It speaks volumes about this young man simply by the fact that so many people came to say good bye.

We will seem them again, but until then they will always be watching over us.

Scott was our second son and attached at the hip to Beth, as you know. Beth will take him everywhere she travels all of her life time. We will always keep Scott in our hearts as well.

He has truly changed the world in his time walking upon it.

May 19, 2006

Well...I don't know where to start. I hadn't met Scott one time in my life, yet I'm sitting here crying as I type this. Look at the picture right by this post! Look how happy he always was! I saw him here and there in the halls at school always with a smile. To know that he was in the top 10 seniors and was this great of a person it amazed me that God would take him. Why him? They said the good die young, but look at where he was in his life. He didn't even graduate! He didn't even make it to that one awards ceremony before his graduation. I heard that Scott was into psychology. I want to do something with that when I grow up, and whenever I'm down maybe I'll think of all that Scott accomplished to help me get through. My heart goes out to him, his friends, and family. He touched so many lifes...it's incredible! Scott and his family are in my prayers.

Nancy Morris

May 19, 2006

May 19, 2006

Dear Don, Merrily, Colby and Whitney,



It is truly hard to believe that

Scott has left us. His amazing spirit has just gone on to do even

greater things. We will always cherish the crazy times he and Geoffrey shared when we were neighbors. How can we forget the time when Scott was only about 7, dreamed up how the boy's could "fly" (off the trampoline) and their many attempts to make those wings! We know that he is gone, but believe he is still flying overhead with his beautiful smile and that his wonderful spirit lives on to make the world a better place. Which is the Scott we all knew and loved. We hope that with time and your many special memories that find comfort and peace in this moment of great loss!

As a mother of who has suffered your loss, and who also has a graduating senior this year from JHS, please know that your family are in our thoughts and prayers at this terribly tragic time. This month marks ten years since losing our son Danny just before school ended in a tragic accident as well, so I know only too well what you are feeling at this time. As difficult as it seems to understand now, time DOES heal, and makes our pain a bit 'softer'. Please know I am willing to help any way I can.



Bobbie (Hobart) Cordova and family

May 19, 2006

In all your grief, there is the knowledge that you raised a wonderful boy which is such a blessing. My heart goes out to you.

May 19, 2006

Merrily and Don-

In the week I stayed with you in February several years ago I got a chance to know Scott a little. We’d talk when he came home from school about girls and school and things that were going on with him. He was smart and nice and I enjoyed getting to know him and I still think of that time and how nice you all were to me. I couldn’t believe it when I heard the news. I am so sorry to hear of his death. There are no words I can say to comfort you in any way but I wanted to let you know I’m thinking of you and Scott. Love, Paul

Words can’t begin to express how saddened we were at the news of Scott’s death. He was such a great kid with so much promise. As the parent of a daughter poised to take her place in the world I can imagine how painful it must be not to have your child’s future, so often wondered about, realized. I hope all of the love that is pouring from those who knew and loved Scott and who know and love you and your family can help to bind the wounds to your hearts at this time. Our love, care, and prayers are with you all.

To my brother Don, my sister-in-law Merrily, my beautiful nieces Colby & Whitney, Betsy and I will remember Scottie with such great love. It was a lovely joy to have known him from the minute we first met him as a sunny and beautiful baby. Seeing him grow up made us laugh w/ pleasure. Thank you for giving us Scott, Merrily & Don. We love you all very much and wish you strength to survive your grief. Love Chuck & Betsy.

My son Mike is a freshman at JHS. He met Scott last summer through his friends Alana, Emily and Hunter. Scott was always so nice to my son and he would say HI to him everyday. We were talking tonight about everything that had happened and making right choices and staying on the the right track and I asked my son, How do you stay on the right track and he told me you need to be like Scott. What an example your son was to all that came in contact with him. He will never know the lives that he touched. We can never understand Gods ways but we have to trust in him. You all are in my thougts and prayers.

man, i dont even know where to begin. I didn't know Scott very well, but I saw him everday. We sometimes sat together at lunch and we would always joke around and laugh, and mainly just have a good time. He was ALWAYS so happy, he had this twinkle in his eyes, like I've never seen before. And when he smiled, it ran from ear to ear. When I found out that Scott had passed away, i just broke down. He was such an amazing person. And knowing how I feel about Scott leaving us just makes me think how his closer friends must feel. So, all I can say is Rest In Peace Scott Goering, we will all miss you very much!!
