I am very sorry to know about Scott’s passing. Scott and I were old friends and spent time together from 2003-2007. Scott was a great man and I was happy to know that he had finally found true love. My sincere condolences to his mom Susie, whom I have met many times as many of us met up for her karaoke shows. Scott lived with me for a brief period in 2006 when we dated. Even though he and I lost touch, I thought of Scott from time to time and never stopped caring for him. I know that Scott would want everyone who knew him to cherish each of our memories. Love for Scott will live on in each of our hearts.

I just heard that Scott passed. I served with him in the Engineers in FT Lewis. Spent many a rainy and cold day and night with him in Yakama and Lewis. I’m so sorry to hear he’s gone. He was a friend even after the military. I will miss him greatly.
