Scott especially enjoyed his weekly interactions with his Meals on Wheels clients.

Dear Glenna and Kristen, as I was watching the news coverage about Winnipeg PD, I thought of Scott and looked him up. I’m really sad to realize that he is no longer with us.

I knew Scott during the course of his studies at UW. He was such a bright and engaging person - joy to have in my class and to have him work as a student demonstrator in the lab. So caring and kind to everyone he encountered. - Posted by: Kathy Muc (UW teacher and friend) on: Mar 11, 2017

Very sad to hear of my friend Scott's passing. Glenna, Gus & Kristen- sending condolences and much love your way. Fond memories of adventures on the front streets, back yards & back lanes of our neighbourhood, the winter club, Shoal lake and high school shenanigans. Scott was the friend even at a young age who would make you challenge your fears, make you laugh harder than you thought you could, make you think & dream all while and loving and fiercely protecting you. Rest in peace Scooter, see you on the other side. - Posted by: Tara Evans (Childhood Friend) on: Mar 11, 2017

In the years since I first met Scott he took many paths, always knowing life is an adventure to be explored not feared. Regardless of where his journey's brought him Scott shared his experiences with those he knew they could help. He used his congeniality, humour and depth of character to grow and cope with each step he took. Scott believes being open and sharing all the steps he took made himself, and all others, a better person. Losing him now is the time God decided. Scotts soul is home now and his heavenly path is on yet another of his fearless journeys. God bless you Scott. To his family and other friends grieve him not only with tears and sadness but with smiles and laughter. It was this capacity Scott had so it is only befitting to say goodbye to him as he now says it to us. We will all miss him but will not lose him. Souls are never lost and travel with us until the end of days. - Posted by: Jim Stuart (Friend) on: Mar 11, 2017
