Scott, you will be missed. I remember our years at the Rocky Mountain News and even when you got your Jeep Wrangler. I enjoyed running into you over the years. Rest In Peace my old friend.

I am so sorry to hear about Scott. In high school, he was always a friend and was fun & witty. We lost contact for many years, but reconnected about five years ago. We were both fighting different cancer journeys, but would chat from afar about similar health battles. Glad to know his suffering has ended. RIP Scott

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Scott and I enjoyed our times together as younger men and lately some good conversations after reconnecting in 2017. I know he battled in a honorable way to keep his body from failing. Hoping the family is comforted at this time knowing he enjoyed a good sense of humor and he never lost his "kid at heart" mentality. Sincerely, Hutch
