Scott was a confidant, a great listener and always led by example.  People who knew Scott know he valued honesty and was always a straight shooter.  Scott’s ability to fix anything never went unnoticed and everyone knew Scott would turn a few wrenches for a person in need.  He was beyond passionate about his friends and family and looked forward to those Shaver and desert trips.
