Scott Thomas Heysler

Scott Thomas Heysler, 68, passed away on August 9, 2026. Born August 21, 1957, Scott lived in Port St Lucie, Florida, and leaves behind a legacy defined by steady courage, faithful devotion, and a generous spirit that showed itself most clearly in how he gave his time to others.

Scott achieved a master’s degree in sports medicine, reflecting a disciplined work ethic and a lifelong commitment to learning and teaching. That same dedication carried into a career of service as a police officer, including his years with the Coral Springs Police Department, where he became not only a respected officer but also a trusted mentor to many young officers and police explorers. He was passionate about teaching, coaching, and guiding others—offering honest counsel, loyal support, and the kind of encouragement that helped people believe in their own potential.

Beyond his professional life, Scott’s love for coaching—especially girls soccer—was a constant thread, as was his enthusiasm for sports photography. He had a gift for noticing the moments that mattered and preserving them with care, leaving behind countless images that now serve as a lasting collection of memories for those who love him.

Scott was a son to his parents, Richard and Cynthia Heysler. He was a devoted husband to his wife, Tina, who passed away in March of 2025, and his enduring love for her remained an important part of his story. He was a great father to his three daughters, Lindsay, Lauren, and Leah, and the world’s best Opa to his four grandchildren, Kylie, Olivia, Blake, and Owen. The oldest of five, Scott is also remembered with love by his brothers Rick, Todd, and Tim, and his sister, Melissa, as well as by his nieces and nephews.

Those who knew Scott will remember not only his resilience and strength, but also the warmth of his humor. A well-timed joke, a playful spirit, and a perfectly executed prank were among his signatures—joyful reminders not to take life too seriously. It was a trait he proudly passed on to his daughters, and it will be remembered with smiles as much as with tears. In the words of our dad: “don’t take any wooden nickels.”

Scott will be remembered as a great family man—devoted husband, father, and Opa—whose life was shaped by service, mentorship, and the quiet, steadfast ways he helped others stand taller. His example remains: work hard, be honest, be loyal, give generously, and never miss the chance to laugh.
