He met his wife,Tricia, in Warrensburg, Missouri where they attended college. They lived for 24 years in Kansas City, Missouri where he had 3 daughters that he adored. He was an outstanding husband and father and an all around great guy. You could always find him reading to his girls, attending their dance recitals and coaching them in basketball and volleyball.

Scott loved to entertain and was always surrounded by friends whether it was to watch sports or play water volleyball in the family pool.

This was a big change, but together they made it work and continued the traditions they had established in Missouri with many new friends in Georgia.
