Scott was a Boy Scout Troop Leader taking great pride in teaching and instilling lifelong values of trustworthiness, respect for nature, and leading by example. He enjoyed hiking, camping, fishing, and hunting with family and friends. He loved planning and chasing these outdoor adventures. Scott enjoyed the journey, embracing the simple joys of spending time with others in conversation and laughter. His enthusiasm for the adventure at hand was contagious. Family and friends will always remember time spent with him on those occasions and the easy smile and sense of humor that traveled with him. He will be greatly missed.
