His proudest achievement during his 41 years of life was to be the father and best friend of his son, "Finn". Everyone who knew him marveled at the bond he had with his son. Even with his hectic work schedule, Scott always found time to read, play games, go for walks or bike rides with him. Always a caring and giving person, Scott was an organ and tissue donor whose gifts helped numerous people. Scott possessed a strong work ethic and earned the respect of his fellow agents. Scott did not pattern his life after anyone and created his own personality filled with laughter, honesty, integrity, loyalty, love and respect for everyone. He grew from a shy young child to an outgoing young man who excelled in college and in his family life.
