  2. Scott’s Family. Scott was a wonderful friend to my and I. We have just know Scott a short while maybe a year, but he made a great impact on us. We became fast friends. We rode Harleys together. We have laughed and rode some beautiful rides with Scott. Had many dog stories because we are all animal lovers. Scott will be truly missed. We will continue to pray for you as the days go by.

  3. Sheila and Bill I am so sorry about Scott’s death. I only met him one time when he came with you to church. I talked with him for a few minutes after the church service was over and he seemed like a really nice man. Many things in life we don’t understand but we have to accept this as God’s will even though it is so hard. We love you guys so much and will continue to pray that God will get you through the difficult days ahead. Love and prayers, David and Shelia Warren

  6. Scott, it was great knowing you for the past few years and riding our Harley’s together, and just having the fellowship we had–you were such a hilarious guy. We will miss you but we will see you again on the other side one day. We will be praying for your family. You will be a part of our group, the Deplorables LEMC, forever. Gone too soon, Brother, you are missed…
