OBITUARY
Scott Alan Allred
February 5, 1964 – January 5, 2021
Scott Alan Allred was 56 years old when he went to be with the Lord on January 5, 2021. He passed away in his home in Beaumont, Texas from complications related to heart disease.
“Scotty Bear” was born in New Boston, Texas to his loving parents "Coach" Jimmy Allred and Carole Murray. After Scott was born, Coach's first words were, “Now we have a fullback to go with our halfback.” Scott spent his early years, moving around Texas with his family during his father’s football coaching career until they eventually settled in La Porte, Texas. Scott was a beloved, athletic individual in the community and a well-known member of the La Porte High School football team. Additionally, Scott was a state champion swimmer and lead dancer in the La Porte High School musical (much to his father’s dismay and amusement).
After spending his first working years helping people as an EMS worker and volunteer firefighter, he worked many years as a piping designer before eventually going back to his roots helping people in safety. The majority of his free time was spent doing what he loved- fishing, hunting, bragging about his children, and telling the best stories.
Scott is preceded in death by his brother, Lance Allred and stepfather, George Murray.
He leaves behind his children- Amanda L. Allred of Clear Lake City, Texas and her significant other Marshall Grice and grand“dog”ter Luna, Brandon Allred of Burbank, California and his significant other Nikki Nesbitt, and Cassie Allred of Belton, Texas; parents, Carole Murray and Coach Jimmy Allred; Sister- Amanda A. Allred, former wife and mother of his children- Sheri Tinsley-Allred; significant other- Stephanie Craft; and his life-long best friend “Uncle” Kevin Leary.

Scott was always kind and friendly to me and those around me. As we aged and were miles apart he still was kind, funny and supportive. His faith in God, love of family and fishing was evident to all. He will be missed.

So many memories and fun times with Scott through the years. Pretty much, every one involves his never failing ability to make people laugh! His heartfelt desire to make everyone smile and feel special. And one cannot forget the bantor between he and his dad!!! That, in and of itself was enough to make anyone forget about their bad day and laugh! Amanda and family; I'm so sorry for your loss! Gone way too soon, I know they pain and grief that fill you hearts right now. Take comfort in knowing; he now lives eternally in Heaven with Our Lord and Savior, and that you will see him again. Most of all I hope it's comforting for you to know how very much he loved each one of you. And still wants to make you smile every time you think if him!!!

I will always remember Scott’s smile when he crossed my path. It was always there unless he was on the football field. His goal there was to be the best player he could be. I hope that he knew he accomplished this goal. I never got tired of watching him play. Even when busted up and held together by tape, he was still trying to be the best he could be. I know his Dad, Coach Allred, was about as proud as he could be of Scott.
You were a man who gave a lot of love to your friends and children. That love was returned to you by anyone who knew you. Everyone is better for knowing you. The measure of a man is the love and legacy he leaves behind. Your legacy will live on. You can count me as one who will always remember you with a smile and love.

Goodbyes are never easy but this one is especially hard. I remember the day we met. one day you were up at the LPHS field house and caught us decorating the 🏈 locker room. You told us NO GIRLS ALLOWED until we explained why we were there. Then another coach came in and you just rolled your eyes and said “cheerleaders” 😂😂 it is so funny to remember that first meeting now. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for supporting my kids, for coming to Kevin’s USMC party and Amy’s spring show - for sending me virtual hugs and encouraging messages when I was having a tough day - and for reminding me that someone was always listening.
There will be a little less light in the world without you.
My prayers are with all who love you. Coach Red, Sheri, Tippi, hundreds of friends and the children you loved so fiercely it is worthy of your nickname “the Bear”.
Thank you for every time you showed up. For saying yes and not asking why.
Goodbyes are never easy - but this one is especially hard... because I’m saying it to you 😢 Sleep well my friend....

I am the father of Dwight, who played on the ‘ Dogs with Scott. As a father, I did not run with the boys, but have great memories of those Friday nights watching the “Cardiac Kids” as we called for them. I have wonderful memories of being in the Dog House after the home games. I saw Scott right before Christmas at the barber shop, and it was a pleasure to see him again and have a great visit. My heart goes out to his children, and his dad Coach Red and his mom.

So many great memories of Scott. I remember chatting with him in the morning in the break room at the safety council and he was always bragging about his kids or sharing his fishing stories. He was a wonderful man and will be missed. I know he is at peace now. Praying for his family.

Scott,
You will forever be my pain the butt instructor from HASC. But you always made me smile or tried to ease my stress anyway. I've missed you since I left but everytime I needed a pick me up you somehow knew. You left too soon and I'm upset I missed your service. I will never hear Boss the same way from anyone else. I'll miss you tons and find my dad for me up there and tell him I'm working on it. Lol love you bunches and the world will never be as bright as it was.

Scott was my step uncle in whom was always a joy to be around. Whether it was showing me how to gut a fish when I was 10 to buying me a Buc’ees head pillow for Christmas in 2019, he showed me life was always a blessing. I am going to miss the day where he made fun of my weird quirky furniture styles and hollering at an Astros game after moving down to Texas. I’m thankful you are in a better place but you will be missed by so many.

For those of you who never got to meet Scott Allred, what a loss for you. Not only was he my best friend, he was my brother. The consummate gentleman that never stopped being the consummate gentleman. He always had a smile and a hug for you and a “love you man”.
The love he had for his family was amazing and he practiced what he preached, which was forgiveness. He always said a family can’t grow without forgiveness because we all make mistakes.
He lived and loved everything country from hunting and fishing to good old George Strait. He loved going to the ranch, which he called “his ranch” and working and hunting and a lot of goofing off.
He had a personality that made people flock to him and made you want to be his friend, and once his friend you knew you would always be there and he would always have your back. That’s just how he was.
He loved his country and his God and didn’t mind sharing it with you if you needed it. There will not be anymore like him because he was one of a kind and how appreciative are we that got to walk with him on his journey.
I laughed this morning because I know Scott is busy pulling out the chairs for all the ladies at the table, he is going to have his hands full with that.
We will all miss you buddy and thank you for the great memories we have shared. I am already looking forward to our next big road trip in heaven, until we meet again, I love you. Kev

I met Scott my 7th grade year at Baker Jr. High in my Algebra class. He was a joy to be around and somewhat of the class artist. He doodled some pictures of a few characters on the front of my spiral notebook. One was the Incredible Hulk. I can’t remember the other, but, I was so impressed with his talent that I still had that notebook long after I left High School. I don’t know how it finally got away from me. I wish I still had it. I will never forget my sweet friend. I love you, Scott.

I have several memories with Scott, from power puff football, to camping in Hurricane weather with Stroud, hanging out at Sullivan Beach on Friday night, going to Pizza place near San Jacinto Collage, buying Titties (flip flops) at the store near Gillies,, long talks about finding the love of his life and the mother of his children, but the funniest story is a sailing story. Scott had a Sunfish sail boat and he, Stroud and I went sailing on it, together at one time. Stroud (210), Scott (195) and me (175) for a total weight of 585 lbs. let’s just say we had 1 inch of clearance from the water to the top of the boat. 3 big guys on that tiny sailboat! We sailed of of the Houston Yacht club and because of wind and weight we could not get the sail boat back into the harbor. We laughed for weeks over that one! He always had a happy smile and a positive attitude! I will miss his wit and his way of making you feel that he cared for your happiness! Good buddy and fair the well!

Of course there are many from high school but my favorite memory of Scott were a few get togethers at Tbone Toms, one of which was my 50th bday. We laughed and cut up the whole night with him buying me shots (of tea of course). Hahaha. We had a blast. I will miss you buddy.

Scott, my heart breaks knowing you’re gone. Who’s going to give me a hard time about all the dumb blonde things I do? You touched so many people with your kind and generous heart. I thank God for putting you in my life and for being a friend to both Bob and me. We love you and will miss you so much.

Scott was a great friend and inspiration... always had a smile on his face and always there for anyone who needed anything! The football memories and cruising around in his green Ford Falcon, back in the day-will always be in my memory. Great times!
My Deepest sympathy to Coach Allred and his sister Amanda and Scott's children.
