Going on a relaxing motorcycle ride around town or with his friends, sitting with his friends or his family by a bonfire with a cold beer in his hand laughing and telling stories were some of the many things he enjoyed doing. Scott never met a stranger, he would do anything for anyone, his smile, humor and kind heart will be missed by all.
