Scott was a lively young man who lit up every room he entered. Like many guys, Scott had a passion for sports and excelled at every game he tried his hand at. Whether it was football, basketball, or baseball, he loved them all. When we were all home, he was the quintessential middle brother, always finding ways to both annoy and protect his sisters. His infectious laughter and playful antics made him the life of every party.

However, everything changed in the blink of an eye the summer of 2023. Scott began experiencing mysterious symptoms that left us all in a state of confusion and worry. After countless tests and three long weeks in the hospital, we were given the news we dreaded most: Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a rare and devastating neurological condition with no cure.

This diagnosis was a shock, something we had desperately hoped would not be the cause of his sudden illness. Despite this heartbreaking news, Scott’s spirit remained unbroken to the end, just a few short months after diagnosis, but his bravery in the face of such a daunting challenge inspired us every day.

We are reaching out to the community for support in our 3rd year participating in Strides for CJD. These funds will help support the CJD Foundation’s General Fund, which includes medical education, family support, and research programs. And hopefully one day find a cure for CJD.

We invite you to join us in supporting Scott's memory. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a significant difference and help bring us closer to a world where CJD can be battled more effectively.

Thank you for standing by us in memory of Scott and for your generosity. Together, we can make a difference.
