Scott George Montgomery – 1966-2026. Preceded in death by his parents Ann Adair and James Paul Montgomery.

Scott George Montgomery was born on November 24, 1966, in Chicago Heights, Illinois, to James and Ann Montgomery. He grew up in Steger, Illinois, alongside his older brother, Jimmy, and his younger brother, Charlie. Even as a young child, Scott was deeply considerate and always thinking of others. He graduated from Bloom Trail High School and went on to attend Prairie State College and Washburne Trade School. As an adult, Scott built a proud career as a superintendent for Sheet Metal Workers' Local 73, from which he eventually retired. Beyond his work in sheet metal, he was one of the most detailed craftsmen around. He loved hard physical work, possessed a mind for precision that went above and beyond, and built two beautiful homes from the ground up. The moment he finished one project to perfection; he was already creating the next. Scott was an extremely intelligent man with a quick wit, a sharp sense of sarcasm, and an unmatched ability to make people laugh.

He loved music across all genres and was always the first to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. After moving to Florida, Scott made Jimmy B’s Beach Bar his favorite local hangout. There, he loved soaking in the sunsets, listening to live music, chatting with his favorite bartenders, admiring beautiful women, and playfully messing with the tourists. Later in life, while battling multiple health challenges, he could no longer frequent his usual spots, but he still made the most of his time by taking short trips to explore different corners of Florida. With all of the battles that Scott fought, his faith in God remained strong and never wavered. Many times, we prayed together and with Scott's humorous personality he would even laugh and ask God, "What are you going to do this time God?" because he knew how much God had already gotten him through. There was comfort in knowing Scott was ready to meet Jesus.

Scott will forever be remembered for his sharp humor, his infectious smile, and his striking blue eyes. As his best friend, I will hold onto all of our special memories forever. Scott will be deeply missed.
