Scott was born in Everett, WA  August 7, 1970. He was born into a large family and spent his childhood experiencing and creating all of the irreplaceable memories siblings get to endure and share. Helping us shape and grow. Scott will forever be remembered as “the BEST brother!” He was a provider and protector to his family and to all he held dear.

Scott discovered his strong and charismatic leadership gift being on the field playing all the sports he loved throughout his childhood and early adulthood. As a freshman, his hard work, grit, and determination paid off and he made the varsity football team. Playing the game he loved under the lights. He went on to graduate from Everett Highschool with the class of 1989. Immediately after, enlisting with the United States Marines Corps.

After his honorable service to our country; Scott persued and secured a 27 year career with the United States Post Office driving over a million miles. He was recently recognized for his 35 years of service to the United States Government. Further proving his loyalty and commitment to building his legacy and providing for his family.

Throughout his 55 years, Scott’s most precious and proudest memories would be too many to list. Naming a few would be becoming and being a father, watching his son grow into an amazing young man he admittedly was beyond proud of. He loved being outdoors…fishing, camping, traveling, and just admiring the beauty of God’s creations. He enjoyed creating memories which will remind us how, and why we will never forget. Sunsets, sand, and saltwater brought Scott tranquil happiness and peace.
