You have our deepest sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Scott was one of the kindest human beings I have known. Though we have not seen each other in years, I mourn his loss and send love to the Given family.
Judy ~ we are so sorry for your terrible loss! We hope that peace will knock on your door and stay forever.
Love, Clete and Joan
Ran into Scott & his boys at the pool in August. Although he wasn’t feeling very well it was great to see a smile on his face while taking pictures / videos of his boys there. Scott enjoyed spending every minute he could with James and Robert and he was super proud of them. We’ll all miss you!
Jennifer, James and Robert,
My deepest condolences to you all. Prayers for comfort and healing for your family.
Sincerely,
Robin McCready
Scott joined our family when he and Jennifer were married. I enjoyed visiting with Scott as he had many interests and loved his work. He had a great laugh and love to joke around. I remember when his son Robert had heart surgery and Scott stayed with Robert and expressed his love for his sons and concern for their happiness. He had many challenges in his life and sadly succumbed to one of those. He was loved by his children and had shared love with his former wife & her family. I am sorry to lose him.
Our deepest sympathies to you all.
It has been awhile since I had seen Scott. Before he had a family even. We grew up going to grade school together. I have fond memories of late night asteroids, cruising the neighborhood on our bikes and many cub scouts adventures. My prayers and thoughts are with his family and friends.
Judy, I am so sorry for your loss. You and family are in my prayers.
Judy you have our deepest sympathy. You have had to endure so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
