Scott Simard Obituary

Scott David Simard passed away unexpectedly on March 3, 2015. He was the loving husband of Heather (Burns) Simard, and devoted father of two beautiful and spirited daughters, 10 year old Brooke and 6 year old Taylor. Scott and Heather were longtime sweethearts who had been married for 11 happy years. They resided primarily in the Sagamore Beach area where they enjoyed summer days going to the beach and spending happy times with friends and neighbors. Scott was born on Sept 15, 1972 at the Malden Hospital to Peter Simard and Patricia (Orpen) Simard. Scott grew up in Easton, MA where he graduated from the Oliver Ames High School in 1990. After high school, he attended Stonehill College where he was a member of the Stonehill Skyhawks, the school's NCAA baseball team. Upon graduation from college in 1994, Scott received a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management. Possessing a natural penchant for computers, Scott began his professional career in the Information Technology field before ultimately entering into the family's marketing business where he was employed until the time of his unfortunate passing. Scott's many hobbies included boating, fishing, skiing, attending concerts with his family and being an avid fan of all New England sports teams. Known for possessing a brilliant mind, he was knowledgeable of a wide variety of topics and was often sought by friends and family alike for his opinions and assistance. In his 43 short years, Scott befriended a great many people and will be sorely missed by all. In addition to his wife and daughters, Scott is survived by his parents who still reside in Easton MA, his brother Peter Jr, his wife Maureen and their daughters Hunter, Alex and Jordon of Plymouth MA, his mother in law Coleen Burns and her companion Tim Constantine of Wareham MA, his father in law Mr. Paul Burns of Eastham MA, and his sister in law Erin Criscitelli, her husband Adam and their daughter Ella of East Granby, CT. A Funeral Service for all wishing to attend will be held at the Nickerson Funeral Home 40 MacArthur Blvd in Bourne MA at 12:30pm on Sunday, March 8, 2015. This will be followed by visiting hours at the Funeral Home until 4pm. In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial donations be made to the Boston University CTE Center (http://www.bu.edu/cte/financial-support/) to support brain injury research.

To the Simard Family- I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Scott for his novels about health care and weather. I could always count on him to learn something I otherwise wouldn't have read on my own. His passion was amazing. You'll be missed Scott. Rest in peace my friend.

Yesterday to see the response to my son's wake from all of you brought our family much solace in this terrible time. I want to thank you all for sharing our sorrow, it was so gratifying to know our son/brother/husband/dad created so much happiness in this world.



Scott cared about you, the birds, the fish and the little frogs he used to catch 35 years ago in our backyard. His intelligence and compassion will never be matched because he was one in a million, literally.



From me his dad to my wife Patty to his brother PJ to Heather, Brooke and Taylor we thank you all and just ask you think of Scott once in awhile with a smile, we will....

Pete, Patty, & PJ,
Even though we haven't seen each other in years, my heart is broken at your pain and loss. There are no words of comfort I can offer, but I suffer with you, and remember fondly the good times we had. I may not be able to be there physically with you, but I am with you in thought and prayer. My prayer is that you can feel some support and love from those near you geographically, by blood, and by love.

Heather, Brooke, and Taylor,
We've never met, but you are in my prayers as well. Lean on family, friends, and neighbors for support....even those of us you haven't met yet.

Scott entered the Stonehill "Goveneur House" world and added his support and entertainment to all of our activities. I remember the time that Scott assisted our "Social Committee" with his marketing skills for an upcoming event. His help was extremely appreciated. Through the power of Facebook and other mediums he clearly continued to add those characteristics to his family and friends throughout the years. My thoughts to the Simard family for this tragic loss. May you find peace to know that Scott is in Heaven helping all of us from above.

Absolutely devastating! I've been following Scott's Southern New England online weather analysis since 2002. I really started to appreciate him during the Epic Cape winter of 2005. There was a snowstorm I believe on February 28/March 01 2005. He was all over it like a dog on a bone. Absolutely relentless. The National Weather Service was calling for a change to rain in most of SE Massachusetts, and he was adamant the storm would remain all snow.

The snow came up from the south as a wall of white...I believe it was on a Monday night just after dark...and the end result was a wet-snow bomb and just about all of SE Massachusetts had between 10-15 inches significantly more than the weather service had been forecasting. Scott was so intent on proving the weather pros wrong about their busted forecast he woke up early the next morning and was driving all over SE Massachusetts with a yardstick measuring snow! When he set his sights on a narrative there was nothing or nobody that was gonna cause him to deviate from it. He would dig his heels in and relentlessly hammer home his narrative like a steaming locomotive.

He will be severely missed by all of us in the online weather community. In his core he was a contrarian. If there was a storm that was trending SE, he'd try and find a way to bring it NW. If there was a storm trending NW, he'd try an explore an avenue to bring it SE by proving the weather forecast guidance wrong.

Most of all I'll miss the personality he brought to his weather computer model analysis, his provocative nature, his humanity, and his ability to spark interest and outrage all rolled up into one! He was a special person with a level of charm, humor, and brilliance all combined into one extraordinary human being and I'll especially miss chatting with him during the middle of the night during our many snowstorms letting him know snow had just changed to rain in Newport and would soon be changing to rain on his beloved Cape.

As a washashore, I met Scott through the mutual love and respect of the sea, fishing, boating and nature. Scott was always selflessly ready to help with advice, we fished together and enjoyed good food and drink over putting the world to rights. Scott was a gentleman with a sharp sense of humor and I'll miss the good banter between member of our community.

My deepest condolences to Scott's family and friends.

I am so saddened to have learned this news today. Scott and I were on several baseball teams together as kids. Luckily he was on my team, as he was a feared pitcher, and led us to a couple championships. I also had a blast as his 10th grade chemistry lab partner. We may have experimented with the Bunsen burner to see what was flammable and what wasn't when Mr. Burdick wasn't looking. I also see from the other entries in the guest book that his love for the weather continued. He loved talking about an upcoming storm and predicting whether we'd have school the next day.

My deepest condolences to his family. You are gone far too soon, rest in peace Scott.

First of all I extend my deepest sympathy to Scott's loved ones, most importantly his immediate family, wife and daughters. I can't imagine your pain.

Secondly please know that Scott's life touched me deeply. I have known him through our mutual passion, winter weather. We've watched each other go through life over the past 20 years on various weather boards online. We've met each other, dined together in Hingham about 5 years ago. I always found Scott to be passionate about everything he cared about. His family, of course snowy weather, fishing, the water, everything. He was taken way too early, that is a simple fact. But I know he lived his life to the fullest extent possible in the few decades he was here. I will miss him terribly as all who knew him will.

My thoughts have been with the Simards these past days.
