  1. Scott was my first boyfriend when we were in grade school at Evans. We were boyfriend and girlfriend from 6th grade through 8th grade. He was always making me laugh. I have been out of touch with him for several years. We tried to keep in touch for the longest time but I guess it’s been over 5 years since I last had contact with him. So sad to hear of his passing. I know he will be missed.

  2. Scotty had the cutest smile. He was loved by all of us of cousins. Going through the pictures I have, I found these. Uncle Bud, Aunt Carol, Scotty, Diana and Aunt Violet. The next was Aunt Carol, Scotty, Jenny and Diana. Scotty and Diana were in the next one. Last was Scotty and his mom, Pat. Rest in Peace Scotty!

  3. Sorry to hear if your loss. The passing of Scot truly saddens me. My thoughts and prayers to the family and especially my long time friend, Diana. There are so many memories if have of Scot and all the years we grew up together. He was always laughing and had that big ol smirk on his face that made you wonder what he had been up too!! Scot im sure you will truly be missed by all of those that knew you and your silly personality!!! Thoughts and prayers and may you rest in peace my friend!!!
    Sincerely,
    Lora (Gilham) Hocker

  4. If you were having a hard day and needed a smile or a laugh
    Goody would cheer you right up. Never a dull moment with him. He was my best friend and a great handy man that love helping others if needed. He stayed strong till the end and I believe he is even stronger now in a better place with his other best friend (his mother) Patricia Gude.
    You will be remembered in a good light, since that’s what you did when you walked into a room
    Light up the place. We Love you always.
    Diane and Bella.

  7. Uncle Scott was always the life of the party and made sure everyone felt his love. You will be missed tremendously. From football games, to monster truck rally’s, old car shows and celebrating our birthdays in December together. You were the reason I loved the Atlanta Falcons and Peyton Manning so much, you gave me my first car, you made me laugh the hardest and made sure to show up to every milestone. I love you Uncle Scott from this life to the next. May you rest easy.
