POPE David Scott Pope, Sr. passed away peacefully with his sister by his side on September 17, 2016. Scott was born on October 20th, 1954 in Savannah, Ga. To David and Ann Pope. He was raised in Jacksonville, FL, graduating from Nathan B. Forrest High in 1972. He loved being outdoors, surfing, fishing, camping, and taking canoe trips with his many friends. This love of the outdoors led him to join the Boy Scouts of Troop 2 at St. John's Presbyterian Church where, with the help of his father, he achieved the level of Eagle Scout, the highest honor in scouting. He is survived by his mother, Ann, children David Scott Pope Jr., and Tory Elizabeth (Cortland) Carrillo, sister, Holly (Gary) Pedroni, niece, Payton, nephew, Grant, his beloved granddaughters, Malia and Kairi Carrillo along with a lifetime of wonderful friends. He was predeceased by his father, David Pope. A celebration to honor Scott's life will be held on Saturday, October 1st at 11am at Jacksonville Heights Baptist Church, 6730 Ricker Rd., 32244. The family would like to thank Dr. Lynn, Harper Nimock, Haven Hospice, and especially his nurse Cynthia for the compassionate care he was given. Please Sign Guestbook @ Jacksonville.com

May God bless you and your family during this time of sorrow. Scott touched so many lives and my life was certainly touched. Having known you for 40 years, I can say I never met anyone who lived such an authentic life as you. Everyone who ever met you loved you and were better by knowing you. You taught me to water ski, I was got into scuba diving because of you, which led me to becoming a life guard. I couldn't even think of camping and canoeing without thinking of you, as well as all the motorcycle adventures we had. You will truly be missed. Until I see you again one day God Bless my friend. As you always lived by Scott....It's not the destination...it's the journey and you certainly left your mark on life's highway.

I'd like to extend my condolences to Scotty's family. We had many good times together in Boy Scouts and I can remember spending quite a few evenings together at his house when our fathers worked on the scout troop camping trailers. I remember him fondly and am sure he will be with you again one day.

Blessings to you.
