My belated condolences to Scott's family. I worked with "Scojo" in San Diego, where he was known and loved for his unique combination of honesty and intelligence. As a people person, Scott was a phenomenal listener and could always be counted on to offer up useful bits of wisdom and guidance. He was a good guy, a friend, a sage, a dude, and he will be missed. The world could use more Scojo's. I take some solace in knowing that his spirit and unique perspective on life lives on in all of those who knew him.

I will always remember Scott as a talented young writer, passionate about learning the advertising industry. His life sometimes felt like a pressure cooker; he was always worked up about something. But the pressure was pressure he put on himself ... to succeed and to help others. No telling how far he could have gone if he hadn't gone so early in life. My sympathies to family and friends, and all who knew him. Scott was truly one of a kind.

I write this note in sadness hearing of Scott's passing. We were fraternity brothers and roommates in college from the same hometown. Although I observed Scott's victories in life from a distance I was always rooting for him. I am grateful to have been able to spend the time that I did with him. I have great memories to hold onto. My best to the family. Rob Walsh

To Scott's Family, My sincere condolences to you on the passing of Scott. Scott and I worked together in graduate school. He was much wiser and more experienced than me in many ways, so I followed his lead. He and I did great work together. I should say Scott did most of the work, and I was lucky enough to be there while he did it. I will always be grateful for that experience and thankful to Scott for being a patient mentor and solid friend. My prayers, meditations and actions will certainly reflect Scott's influence on my life. He will live long in my memory as a cherished part of my life. My Best To You, Matt Arnold

Super smart, hysterically funny and never afraid to confront bs or stand up and be counted...that is who Scott was and is. When he first told me he was sick, I couldn't believe it because he was so full of life and determination. What's more as we continued talking over the months he was genuinely more interested in encouraging me in my silly struggles with mid-life cliches when it should have been me encouraging him, but that's Scott. He was able to dismiss his own heartache with a funny and flippant comment and make you feel like everything was going to be okay. I will miss his heart, his humor and his brilliance as a writer, but most of all I will miss my friend. To Grant and his parents - I am so deeply sorry as this is such a painful loss, but I keep comforting myself with the knowledge that he is free from stupid cancer and waiting for us all on the other side. May Jesus give you all strength to face each day, comfort you with good memories and hold you close. Love Sara - Scott's fellow writer friend from Rehak.

Joe and Brenda, first thank you for sharing your loss with me this afternoon. I'm still in sad shock. I see his photo on here and wish I'd spent some adult time with him but there are certainly great memories of him and enjoying his great personality from I think about 10 years old. Our street was full of happy kids and I enjoyed all of them but Scott had that endearing personality that you would just want to hug him and I probably did many times. Grant, I know this will be one of your worst times but know that the bond you guys had will forever be with you and you will use those memories to comfort you. I know Scott loved his brother. There are no words that can comfort a parent or a brother but know that Dick and I are just down the street or a phone call away. You are in my prayers, my friends. LaWanda

I knew Scott through Brenda, Grant and his visits to the Studio. Because we were both in the marketing/advertising field, we seemed to slide into an easy friendship of jokes and the occasional meme. A while back, I was laid off and was struggling with my portfolio. I asked Scott if he would take a look at it which immediately agreed to do. He was very kind in his critique and gave me some valuable advice that I incorporated and landed the role I was up for the following week. Scott always seemed like a funny, helpful and genuinely good guy - in the truest sense of these words. The world will miss his insights and positive influence. Grant, Brenda and Joe - my heart breaks for you. With much love, KM
