Scott Michael Collum, age 44, of Swanton, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly of natural causes, Tuesday evening, November 7, 2017.

He was an avid Ohio State Buckeye and Dale Earnhart, Jr. fan. Scott was also a Civil War and WWII buff and spent time watching the History Channel. He also had a love for arborvitae trees.

Scott, you are my everything. I love you and miss you more than words could ever express. I still cannot believe that you are gone. Our home is no longer a home without you. You made my life whole and without you, a piece of me is gone. We always said forever--and that is how long I will love you baby. Forever and ever my sweet baby boy.....
