When the Lord calls our loved ones home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family every step of the way. We remember Scott enjoying life, full of energy keeping everyone on their toes. We always enjoyed celebrating Scott and Mark’s Birthday after watching the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. -Love your Godparents Blake and Connie Hebner
Don and Nancy- Nancy and I wish to offer our condolences to you in memory of your son. Although we never met, we are certain that he was an outstanding person since we do know that his parents are great people. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

So very sorry about Scott. Looking at his picture brings back so many memories of Scott, Mark, our son George and all their classmates at St. Joe’s School.
They were a very close group and so much fun to watch!
Keeping all his family in our prayers.
George and Mary Kay Lynch
Sending much sympathy to Scott’s friends and family. I went to St Joes grade school with Mark and Scott and remember how shy they both were, but also how sweet. Scott could make anyone smile with his sheepish grin. So sorry to hear of his passing. Prayers to his family.

My deepest sympathy to Scott’s family and friends, I’ve known Scott for over 25 years and have many fond memories. One of the most notable was when my wife passed 8 years ago I was a broken man, Scott stepped forward and held me up, for this I will always be thankful and know he was a true friend. The four of us, Scott, Tom, Chris and myself had numerious cook outs together, certainly some of the best food to be found. Countless evenings playing billiards, we actually became pretty good. I will always remember these great times we all had together, and certainly look forward to the big reunion in heaven. You’re all in my prayers,
Robert Davis
Scott was good guy. We’ve known him only for a short time, but he always left us with a smile. Sorry for your loss of a great guy! Don Zellmer and family.
So sorry for your loss. I went to grade school with “the twins” . They introduced me to many hours of playing board games and having a lot of laughs. Scott was one of the sweetest boys I knew…Prayers to all. Keeping you in my thoughts…Danielle Vayre
