May memories of happier times help to ease the pain of his untimely passing. I promise to say a special prayer for his soul & the comfort of all who miss him. Condolences, “Mac”
Scott, you are loved. As brothers growing up i was always jealous. Not only did you have the bankroll but you were blessed with the looks. As we grew older you were one of the few who could challenge me to reflect on my character. I need that and it is already missed. I love you brother.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I don’t know if you even remember us but our family lived on S.Dartmouth and I knew Scott as a child. I met him again much later in life, but it was a joy and he always knew how to make you smile. He was a free spirit and I loved that about him, may you all be comforted by all the memories you have of your loved one. Rest in Peace my friend Ramona Seaberry Lumpkin
