He was born April 26, 1960 at Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs, CO. He is survived by the love of his life " the girl who lived next door," Lorrie Ann (Brett) Myers, for the past 23 years, whose heart has forever been broken.

I am the Director of Alumni Relations at Western and just learned of Scott's passing. I got a call from Lou Brown. I didn't know Scott, but have read the obit and did a little searching through some old yearbooks. It doesn't take much to see that he was full of life--remember how he dressed for his senior pic in the yearbook? I am truly saddened for you and your family. The Western family has lost a huge supporter. Just know that you all are apart of our extended family always. Sincerely, Tonya

Lorrie, Mary and I learned about Scott from Lila Lee last Friday. We feel awful and wish we could have been at the service. We always enjoyed seeing you and Scott on Friday nights. As parents, we were always interested in hearing about what you did with your kids. These are memories they will always remember. Our thoughts are with you. Bill & Mary Dupey

Dear Myers family,



I had a brief but pleasant relationship with Scott. I worked with him at a Colo Spgs Copier dealership where I was in awe of his ability to "close" a deal. He had a way about him that made people comfortable.



So sorry about your loss.

I only now heard about Scott's passing. This is one of the few times in my life I am at a loss for words. I knew Scott for more than half my life. I am truly saddened. If I can do anything for any of the family members please let me know. Lorrie, Karen, Susan, Tim, Gram, you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Myers' Family,



I am so sorry to hear about Scott. I haven't seen him since the late 60's but I was part of the family when he was small. He was the most adorable child and so mischievious - I loved that kid! His sisters and I were always dragging the two boys around with us in their Corvair Manza when we were teens.



I am saddened by his early death - I am sure he has always been a bright light in the lives of all who loved him. My deepest, most sincere sympathy.

Dear Friends and Family,



Thank you so much for taking the time to sign the guest book. The children look at it often and it truely brightens their day to read such lovely things. We so miss our sweet Scott but are managing to muddle through each day. We are still walking on a cloud from the beautiful service on Thursday night. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers through the holiday season.



Much Love-Lorrie

Lorrie and Kids,

I knew Scott for a long time. I remember when I was 8 and he was 10 and my brother and his sister would come and get us and take us horseback riding or to the carnival. I went to alot of motorcycle races back then and loved it.

He will be missed dearly by all. He was a wonderful person.

My deepest sympathies to the entire Myers family. He was truly one of a kind. Scott lit up a room and seemed to always have a smile on his face. He will be missed so very much by anyone who's life he touched. God bless you all.

Lorrie and Family,



I am so very sorry to hear about Scott. I spoke with him a couple of times on the phone and met him briefly last year at the Kerry "Victory Party". I remember him saying that he was a Republican who "grew up". I got a big kick out of that and the fact that he wore his "Republicans for Kerry" button to the Country Club Homeowners Association meeting. Our sympathies to you and your family.
