So very sorry for your loss. I graduated with Scott at Valley and he was one of the nicest people there. I remember once jamming my fingers pretty well while playing basketball in gym and Scott was in my study hall afterwards. He made me go to the nurse (and went with me) to make sure that I got them wrapped. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

So sad to hear the news! Scott was one of my very first friends! I took my first "garage door" ride under his direct supervision... He'll be greatly missed, I'm sure. You have my sincerest condolences.
