My heart is very broken to hear about Scott's passing. I knew Scott in a very unique way. I was Scott's pastor but also worked for him part–time in the fundraising business. We probably spent hundreds of hours in the car together, and there was never a dull moment. In fact, the best part of working with Scott were the long car rides. I knew him pretty well, so where do I begin? Let's start here: you don't meet Scott, you experience Scott. He was a character. Whenever we walked into a business to make a sale, people immediately liked him. The moment he walked into a room he made everyone laugh. People who recognized him would always perk up. Scott loved to make an entrance! He brought joy to everyone around him.
Second, this may offend some but not those who knew him well. I heard Scott joke about faking his own death about a dozen times. He was the ultimate prankster. So I know this whole thing is real, but Scott, if this isn't, then I'm buying you dinner wherever you want because you pulled it off my friend!
Third, Scott had a loving and caring heart towards those in his life. He looked up to Judy and Brenda like they were his own mother. He loved his "old man" Wayne and considered Fran to be the perfect "better half" to Wayne (I hope their still together b/c if not this could be awkward). He was crazy about his daughter Alicia. In fact, he spoke regular about one of her first dates when she was a teenager. Apparently, the guy came to pick her up, and rather than coming to the door he honked the horn. That did not sit to well with Scott. He went out to the car and let him have it! The night for Alicia ended early. He always looked out for Alicia, but he had a second daughter: Savannah. Scott cared for Savannah like she was his own. He talked about her all the time. Dawn was the love of his life. He told me repeatedly how he couldn't believe he was with a girl so beautiful and caring. She was the love of his life.
Last but most importantly, Scott cared about the Lord. He spoke of his conversion on a regular basis. Many times he called me late at night with a spiritual concern which showed he cared about the things of God. Scott was far from perfect. He possessed many faults like me and all those reading this, but there came a time in his life when he confessed his sins to God and received Christ. I always enjoyed hearing his testimony. Scott wasn't perfect, just forgiven, and I believe he is with the Lord right now. I miss my friend. I look forward to cutting up with him again in Heaven. All those who knew Scott were fortunate to have him in their life. I love you brother!
