He loved being a part of his Sunday School class studying and learning God’s word.

“Scottie” or “Bunny” as he was affectionately called, enjoyed spending time with family and friends, cooking, eating, watching movies, making others laugh, fishing, and was dedicated to his exercise regimen and walking until his illness impacted him. “Scottie” loved talking about the goodness of God.

In high school he was known as one of the best running backs, and from there he joined the military. He went up the ranks to staff sergeant, then decided he wanted to be a pilot.
