Scott's father Willie McCulloch Jr. passed away on June 3rd. Scott lived in Austin most of his life but still missed the quiet woods of his early childhood in Dripping Springs. He entered the US Army in April 2003 to fight the Global War on Terrorism in Mosul, Iraq serving honorably for three tours of duty. His time spent with his army brothers in the 1-24 Infantry was never forgotten. Scott was admired by his fellow soldiers as being a brave, reliable medic and cared deeply for the Iraqi people trying to stabilize their divided country. His heart was always on his sleeve. After his army career, Scott chose to live with his parents and helped his Mother care for his Father suffering from Alzheimer's. Scott was a valuable employee for Amazon working for LMTX "Last Mile" delivery service caring for his customers and would interact with his customers and their friendly dogs. Scott's Welsh Corgi misses him terribly. "Roxie" was his therapy dog who absolutely loved being adored.
