Oh what a journey of hope, pain, tears, laughter, resilience and inspiration. Scott taught me and all who ever met him that a full life can be led under every circumstance, breaking barriers every step of the way. He has run a good race and rests from his travails in the bossom of Christ.
May God comfort and heal his parents and siblings.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your son. As I read about him, I see he was a fighter, very determined, smart and took the lemons and made lemonade. My heart was encouraged to see the many lives he touched in all his speaking engagements. While some of his success came from his personality and genes, the biggest part came from patient parents who loved him fearsly, and always encouraged him. May God grant you peace and comfort as only He can give in this time of sorrow.

I'm sorry for your loss. Looking at Scott's website, he looks to have been an amazing man who really made the most of his condition. I would expect no less, though, from the son of such great parents.

I cannot express the sadness I felt when I learned of Scott's passing. He was truly an inspiration to so many people, myself included. I will always cherish the time I was fortunate enough to spend with Scott as his nurse. We enjoyed ourselves experimenting in the kitchen. I will always remember the twinkle in his eyes when he would talk about a new recipe he came up with or new exotic ingredients he was going to try. He truly enjoyed cooking for friends and family. I considered him one of my dearest friends. My condolences to the Drotar family. May the love of those around you provide you comfort and peace. RIP Scott

Scott was one of the first people I met at Notre Dame during our first class of Freshman year. He was hilarious, had a brilliant mind, and was a great friend. We always stopped to say hi to each other around campus and we had many mutual friends. After all these years and the miles apart, I think of him often. Rest In Peace my friend and come visit me in Hawai'i!
