Scott grew up in the White Hall area near Irmo, SC. He attended and graduated from Irmo High School. He was an ardent lover of football and baseball. He was a long-suffering fan of the Chicago Bears. He was always hopeful that each new college football / baseball season would be the best one yet for the USC Gamecocks.

Scott was the proud owner of his own business. He valued each client and many were considered great friends.

Scott loved motorcycle rides on his Harley with his wife and son to anywhere. His absolute happy place was the beach.

There is a private celebration planned for a future date to forever join Scott with the sea allowing him to live forever among the waves.
