Scott made an impact on all that knew him. From his friends and family to the hundreds he worked with in the industrial sector; everyone remembers him for his great work ethic, leadership, and sense of humour. His favourite pastime was jumping on his dirt bike and going roosting; it was the one thing that made him feel truly free!
Quite recently, Scott's Dad told him that he may have been the smallest in stature out of his four boys, but he sure had the strongest attitude of them all!
Scott will be missed greatly by all who knew and loved him. He was a kind and loving man who opened his home and heart to many. He will be forever missed.
As per Scott's wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no formal service.
Memorial tributes in Memory of Scott may be sent to ALS Society of Alberta, 7874 10 Street NE, Calgary, AB T2E 8W1.
