Scott Down Obituary

Almost 17 years since you passed my friend. Got a email reminder with this link. Clicked it and saw your face. I still miss you Scott. I think about you often as I am restoring my 78 Malibu in the garage by myself. Makes me think about how we were going to go to body school together. You already had that square body you were fixing up. When I´m done with mine in a few months I´m bringing it to show you my friend. Love you buddy.

I am an aunt of Brittni. We met Scotts' family at the hospital when you came to visit Brittni. Although we never had the opportunity to meet Scott, the words expressed about his faith and character are proof of the legacy Scott has left behind. Words cannot express how saddened are our hearts, as you grieve may you find strength through the thoughts and prayers of those who surround you. Love and Prayers, Robin

Dear Down Family,
You all know my family Diana Gutierrez and Paul Hall. Scott was a very good friend of mine and i miss him so much and love him with all my heart as well as Brittany. I hope that one day soon i will see him he was the greatest person in the world! He stopped me from doing alot of stupid stuff. I was going to suprise him by stopping by this weekend i just got out of Jail.

We are truly sorry to hear of Scott's passing and our hearts are very saddened to know of the sorrow you must feel. We had heard of the news from the school and thought the name was familiar. I asked my husband if he new the name and said that he thought we had him in Awana at Calvary Community Church back in second grade. When we saw his picture we knew we had. You may not remember us, but we wanted to share that and express our deepest sympathies to you all.

Kirk, Kathy & Noah,
Words can't even begin to express the sorrow we feel for you. We will never forget watching Scotty grow up. All those many hours he & Kirk played basketball on your drive, the piles of firecrackers the morning after every 4th of July on your curb, and just seeing Scotty's little dark head of hair and little glasses riding his bike in the church parking lot. Thank you for allowing us to watch your son grow up across the street, it was truly a gift. God in his infinite wisdom has taken home the best. You are all in our prayers, God Bless you
Tom, Karen and family

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
