Throughout Scottie’s battle with cancer, he exemplified courage and strength while inspiring everyone that was fortunate enough to know him.

He was nothing short of a dedicated individual to any project he undertook. Scottie approached life with integrity and purpose, leaving his mark of excellence in all his endeavors. His many selfless acts exemplified his kindness to humanity, especially in 2025 when he heroically rescued a woman from a burning building.

To know him, was to love him.
