Wes--you and Scott have never been anything but kind and welcoming to me and Frog Attack. One thing I liked about Scott was it didn't matter if you had not seen him in one month or six months-he was always just as excited and friendly towards people. When the luncheons started years ago--I had the boys with us and he was always very welcoming to them. Needless to say-he will be missed.

I never knew Scott but every time I watch a TCU sporting event and realize how proud I am of this university, I am going to think of how "Scott should be here."
This song describes it for me - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8WlCqZPTeg?t=39s
"You'd be loving this, you'd be freaking out, you'd be smiling, yeah
I know you'd be all about what's going on right here right now.
God I wish somehow you could be here.
Yeah this is one of those moments that's got your name written all over it
And you know that if I have just one wish it'd be that you didn't have to miss this.
Aw you should be here.
You should be here."
I'm at work in tears for a man I never met but felt like I knew so well. What a presence he will always have.

The posts by his wife and daughter on fb are amazing. It shows how deep their faith is and how Scott led his family. I hope I can sniff that level of leadership.
I haven't known Scott for a long time but this gentle yet rather large individual made an impact on my life. It was real cool that Scott led a prayer before we left on the KFC bus trip earlier this year. I knew he was strong in his faith from I've heard on this board but it was just cool thing to do considering not everyone on the bus trip was a Christian. Also, just the interactions with him at other KFC events showed his compassionate and caring personality.
Had the chance to meet Scott on the KFC bus trip to Lubbock. I had come in from Boston for the game and had a great time getting to meet total strangers who were just excited as I was to watch the Frogs. When I met Scott, you would have thought we were long lost friends as I walked on the bus. I saw him outside the stadium after that great game and thanked him for making the bus ride possible because I would not have been able to go to the game otherwise. He put his hand around the back of my neck and said, "This is great!" Again, I had only met him earlier that day. A great man with an incredible personality who will be missed by all those who ever came into contact with him. God bless his family and friends in this time of sorrow.

While I have known Scott for a number of years, I did not talk to him on a regular basis. With that being said, we frequently saw each other at various events. He was always very warm, welcoming cheerful person. Scott's personality reminded me a lot like my late grandfather who also happened to also live in Dennis for many years.
This last season I made the bus trip to the Tech game. I've been out to Lubbock on many occasions but this trip without question was the most enjoyable I've ever made out there. On this trip I met and hanged out with some really wonderful individuals. One of them invited me to their birthday party real recently. At the party, I had the opportunity to visit with Scott and his wife. I feel very blessed to have known Scott over the years. Scott will without question be missed by myself and many others. However, I know in my faith that Scott is in Heaven right now.

We walked into Hobby Lobby tonight and a family was checking out at the register. I overheard the father say to his 20 - something son "did I tell you the guy who runs killerfrogs died?" The son replied, "dad, it was me who told you."
I am so proud to have been a friend of Scotty's for over 40 years. We attended church together and became very close in our youth group at New Liberty Baptist Church in Garland. I moved to Idaho 26 years ago, but reconnected with him 7 or 8 years ago and attended the games that I could with him, including the Rose Bowl and most recently the OU game when I made the bus trip. I consider him like a brother, not only in Christ, but also in real life where we shared our grievances and our blessings in the experiences the Lord allowed us on this earth. I knew him when his heart was breaking and I knew him when he was overjoyed and I always knew him to be loyal and thoughtful with a strong sense of rightfulness. In the last few years, he introduced me to many of the TCU Horned Frog Family and I will cherish the occasions I was privileged to share in those events. He was man who truly lived life fully, cared abundantly and passionately for his family and friends and was a living example of a person who bettered one for knowing him. He may have departed this life, but all the memories of his wit and humor, his passion for TCU and his deeply sentimental regard for the interrelationships he shared with so many people will comfort me for years to come and I know it will be the same for many others, too. He was a great man, a great friend. He was Scotty

I never had a chance to tell him this, but Scotty was the one who restored my faith in Christ ... ultimately leading to my finding my soulmate and better half.
He probably knew me only as a friend. I wish I would have told him how much he impacted my life when he gave me that bear hug Wednesday.
You are a disciple of Christ, Scott. Your earthly calling has been fulfilled.

Bump. Didn't want this to fall off the first page. Perhaps it can be combined with his tribute thread and then pinned to the top?
Thanks
