Scott lived a life rich in faith, dedication, and love. His deep devotion to the Lord fueled his days and inspired those around him. A man who found joy in the simplicity of creation, Scott was an avid hunter and outdoorsman a testament to his appreciation for God’s creation and craftsmanship. He also had a lifelong love for classic American automobiles.

As a peace officer, pastor, and missionary, Scott's life was an embodiment of service, compassion, and unwavering commitment to his faith, family, and community.
