Scott was my longest best friend. We saw or talked to each other everyday. He was my righthand man!
Scott had little sayings that will stick with me forever, “you know what I mean?”
I will deeply and truly miss our friendship and partnership. I am glad we had our Florida trip and that you have been a part of my life. I know you will be with me when I need you.
Love you, Beverly.
I am speechless! I love Scott. I will miss him deeply. Thank you Scott for being a part of my life.
Scott was a sweet and very kind brother with a huge heart. We had a blast one time on a float trip down the river. We went with our family and some friends and had a fun time. His and Kurt’s fireworks displays were fantastic! Last summer I was fortunate enough to get to work a little bit and visit with them during the fireworks stand. What fun! Then we had more fun at the lake after that! When i called to get directions to the lake and he was describing it to me, he said, yeah, we like to go to the Oarhouse. Having a hard time hearing him, I thought he said , Whorehouse, to my shock, I repeated what I thought he had said, and he said loudly, NO!, NOT whorehouse, it is OARHOUSE like it has paddles on the ceilings and walls! YOU know? We both had a great laugh at that! Another little saying Scott had was, “Does that make sense?”. We did not have near enough time together Scott, but we will some day. I will think of you often. I will miss you.
Scott was a GREAT man, with a big heart, wonderful smile and soul. Glad we got to know each other over the last several years. We are definitely gonna miss his friendship. I know now for sure there are fireworks in Heaven. RIP Scott. Thank you for touching and becoming a part of our lives. You will never be forgotten. Love you Scott. Brenda and Donnie Moore

I had the opportunity of meeting Scott at his family’s Christmas celebration a couple of years ago.Although I only knew him for a brief period of time, he was always kind , respectable and funny. I know he will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him. My thoughts and prayers are with you Brenda.

I am sorry for your loss. Gone too soon. RIP Scott.
Scott was an amazing person where he touched many lives with his heart. As his cousin [older brother] I knew him as extremely smart business wise and could add numbers faster than I could on a calculator and be pretty much on the number. Despite everything he went though, I honestly can’t ever remember a time when he couldn’t manage a smile during his roughest times. He always maintained his respect for others.
I’ll miss you more than you know, until I get up there with you.
I am sending my prayers and love out to the whole family,.I grew up with the whole family they was like family to me and im still in shock but i know that he is a new angel to watch over all of us and that he is in good hands. He will be missed by all who knew him.Scott has a kind heart and I am glad i had the chance to know him. Many prayers and much love to the whole family..
