A whole year without Scott. All his friends miss him so much, and I had such a close relationship with him that it's as if there's been a hole in my life. What I remember best about Scott was his compassion. He was the best friend anyone could have. I miss you, Scott.

I met Scott when I was 11 years old at a playground where I was with my cousin who was a friend of his. Our paths didn't cross again for about six years. And when they did, we became friends forever. Although his love was acting, his friendship was never an act. I will miss him.
Condolences to his family,

From the moment that Scott came to play Anton Chekhov in 2006, we became very close friends. He played the role brilliantly not only that year, but later in Washington and also in Moscow. We miss Scott's presence and friendship and talent a lot. He was a generous person whose company was a great pleasure and blessing! We loved him and remember him always!

Scott Jefferson...Man what crew he was part of and you guys know who you are! These guys, including my older brother Mark were the most interesting characters I have ever known. I still have the lumps on my head and the love in my heart to prove it. They always looked out for the little kid and imparted their wisdom upon me but Scott would always find time to speak to me personally and directly to make sure I was okay. Far from "shut up kid, go get me a beer", Scott had genuine interest in what was going on in my life. He would ask me questions that made me think before I could answer and always with a smile on his face and a glint in his eye. Later in life Julie and I found ourselves in New Orleans and nothing had changed. Always those damn thought provoking questions with a smile on his face and a glint in his eye. Oh, you be missed Scott, you will be missed.

So sorry to hear about the death of Scott. We had so many great times with Scott, at St. Mary´s Point on the St. Croix River- at the Tanner house-
He had a brilliant wit, a lovely manner & was so much fun to be around.
So sorry he is no longer here.
