Scott was a member of Snow Hill Baptist Church at Tuttle, always maintaining a deep faith for his Lord and Savior. He had a unique way of quickly developing friendships wherever his life's journey took him. Throughout his life's challenges, he always maintained a positive attitude, and by so doing, he encouraged that in others as well. One of Scott's frequent responses when a person expressed doubt, or questioned their own ability to do something was, "O ye of little faith", which has been memorialized on the top of his monument. Scott had a unique sense of humor that only those who knew him well could deeply appreciate.

Scott loved sports of all types, but he especially enjoyed football and basketball. He was an avid OU college football fan and an OKC Thunder, Boston Celtics, L.A. Lakers, and San Antonio Spurs NBA basketball fan. Scott also loved spending time with his family. He was a wonderful son, a special brother, and a loving father. He will be greatly missed by his family and all of those who knew him.
