Donna, I thought the story of you two getting together years after High School was so sweet and I was hoping that this story would have had a ‘happily ever after’ ending. I am so sorry for your loss. I do take solace in knowing that Scott can rest now. I believe that he is walking the streets of gold with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Please know that you are and will continue to be in my prayers.
~Sincerely,
Sandy Jackson

My heart Is so heavy for Donna and the kids. Scott was such a wonderful man that never give up on anything. He fought so hard for so long. Destini was close to Scott. I am very thankful that God put someone so incredible in my daughters life .He taught her some things that will carry on in the rest of her life. I know she will always remember what he taught her. ‘Scott, thank you for being so good to her.’ He was an incredible husband, Dad, and friend. Donna, I know this is heart wrenching to go through and I am so very sorry. I will be praying for you and the kids each and every time I bow my head, I love you. We are sure going to miss Scott and I know I will defiantly see him again one day. ‘You save me a good shady spot underneath a willow Scott, see you again some day.’
Donna I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your girls as you go through this difficult time.
Donna,
You and the kids are in my prayers. Scott was a great guy. I am so glad to see that he found the love and happiness with you. He will be missed very much by many people. I pray that God holds you and your kids close during this time and just know that He will never leave you or forsake you. I am so sorry for your loss but I know that God has gained an amazing angel now and I know that Scott will be watching over you and his children.
I met Scott at the Caring House in Durham, NC when my daughter was receiving radiation treatments. It is with a heavy heart to know that another was taken from us. Donna, may God give you strength and encouragement in the days ahead. Heaven gained another Angel; Scott, say hi to my daughter, Katrina.
We lived across from Scott and Luke for many years, and never met a nicer man. Our hearts are heavy today hearing he passed away. I can only imagine all of your pain, especially Luke. We send our love to all of you.
Love,
Dean and Melanie Allen and the boys Cameron, Bradley and Kraven
Donna,
I was so shocked when I heard the news. I have kept you and Scott and the children in my prayers for such a long time and I know this pain is tremendous. He was always a sweet and caring person. He is with God now and looking over you and his children. Such a beautiful love you two shared. I am praying for God’s strength and love to see you through this time of loss. All my love..Crystal Fender

Donna I am so sorry to hear the sad news of Scott’s passing. He will greatly be missed. I love you and you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I grieved harder than I ever had tonight and wish I could tell you all the wonderful things that’s flourished in mine and Rachel’s life so far. I can’t speak for my sister but know I’m treading water and swimming faster and harder each day and moving forward. I remind myself constantly I am the strongest man put on this earth and with that being said thank you for showing me how strong a person can be and that I will continue to prove my strength and express my will to keep fighting through this dark world.. I love you infinitely
