Just learned of Scott’s passing. We graduated high school together. He was my seat buddy going to ballgames and he taught me how to play tennis. Such a wonderful gentleman. So sorry for your loss. 

I'm sorry to just learn of Scott's passing.  My deepest sympathy goes to his family and friends.  I had lost touch with Scott over the years, but remember him being such a kind, loving and adventurous  person.  He taught me to slalom ski one summer at Mt. Ida.  What a patient soul his was.  What a blessing to see his life unfolded here in pictures.  I am so thankful his life was full of everything he dreamed of doing.  Rest in love old friend.

On behalf on the Brett family, we are so very sorry to hear this sad news. Scott was always so nice to all of us as, we got to know him from Olivia and Amanda being in NCL and school together. He chatted with my son, Keith, a lot and invited him to fish at the pond in Vaquero. Then he saw and remembered Keith years later when we ran into him and reminded him that the fishing at the pond offer is still open. Whenever we saw Scott, he always asked specific questions about our family. When he spoke about Olivia...his face lit up and was so proud!! We will keep all of you in our prayers during this difficult time as Scott begins his next journey. 


Sincerely,
Suzanne Brett

Scott,

I just returned home to Fort Lauderdale from attending your Celebration of Life on Sunday. When something like this happens it makes you think that and realize that certain things happen for a reason, and our meeting was one of those things. Upon arriving to the University of Arkansas campus from Fort Lauderdale, I did not know one person and lived in Yocum hall which began my introduction to new friends. A few of the guys on my hall suggested that I go through fraternity rush, so I did and began by visiting the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. As fate would have it, I met a bunch of great members who handed me a Bid card and I accepted it without visiting any other houses. You were also a pledge, at Sigma Nu, right next door. One day, in between the houses during some sort of altercation between our members, you and I were standing next to each other, joking  about how stupid this was, and began a friendship that lasted over 40 years. Had I visited other houses that night, it is quite possible that I would not have been a Pike and that we never would have met. Our friendship was meant to be. The fact that you were also a Miami Dolphins fan, only reinforces my belief that there is a reason for everything. 

There is so much more that I could say, but the eight friends and relatives who spoke yesterday, covered every aspect of your life and I don’t want this to be redundant, so I’ll bring this to a close with two final thoughts.

First, I’m especially grateful that I was able to spend time with you and Debbie during the Arkansas /Texas A&M weekend, and to see how happy you both were, and secondly Scott, I just want you to  know that I will never have a friend as special as you and I sincerely look forward to the day that our paths cross again.

Love Ya Bro,

Hoop

I’m deeply saddened to hear of Scott’s tragic passing.  The Simmons/Stack family is in my prayers continually, for peace that surpasses all understanding.  May God bless you and keep each and every one of you, during this time of sorrow. I pray that each of you find the hope that anchors your soul, as you journey through your grief. And I pray that you will find joy in Scott’s eternal love and presence within your hearts, always.

Dear Olivia and Greg, I’ve only known you a short while but wanted you to know how sorry I am for your loss. Olivia you have already endeared yourself to your new work family- the genuine warmth and kindness I see in you  must have made both your parents very proud.  Sending prayers and hugs to you all.

So saddened and sorry to hear of Scott's passing.  I will always have fond memories of the time we shared in high school and playing sports with Rick and Scott.  Scott was always so positive with a smile on his face and a friend with everyone.  I pray for God's blessings and comfort for his family and friends.

Scott was everything to our company. He was not only a boss he was our teacher, our leader, a best friend, someone we each looked to for guidance not only work related but in our personal lives. He made sure we were always taken care of and wanted the best for us. He was an absolute pleasure to work for, making each of us feel like a close knit family. Losing him is like missing a big chunk of my heart, he will forever be missed by his work family. We love you sir and will do everything in our power to continue to make you proud. 
Just for you, I'll pull for the Cubs this year...only this ONCE though. :)

Very upset to hear about Scott. Our prayers and love go to Susie, Olivia and the entire family. 

So incredibly sorry to hear of Scott's passing. I've know Scott for 26 years.  Many of my real estate clients have been so pleased with the beautiful homes Scott has built over the years . He was a funny guy and had a very  BIG heart....and always cared about others and always found a way to show it. He will be missed by sooo many as he had so many friends and acquaintances because of the special man he was.   May he rest in peace and may his family have the arms of family and friends surrounding them during this very difficult time.  We will all miss you Scott....

Scott was a good man, a mentor and a good friend who I could call about anything and he’d help me out. Played golf with, shared a meal or two with and enjoyed a good beverage now and then with him and he always made me feel welcome. This is “the guy” that will be missed by everyone who knew him. 
RIP Scotty..... Jon Atwood

I met Scott when he first starting building houses. He was someone you enjoyed doing  business with   My God rest his soul   and spirit.  Gerald Atkinson  Metro Stairs. 

Very sad to hear about Scott having passed. Scott was a great competitor when I built homes in Northeast Tarrant County  and very much a pioneer in the local industry.  Paul Kramer 

Scott was an angel walking amongst us and we are deeply saddened at GRACE to hear of this tragic loss.  Our prayers are with Scott's family.  It is our hope that the family finds comfort knowing the impact his generosity continues to have on our community.
