Scotty's Birthday / Larry, (Dad) Normally if I was out of town working, I would be going through extreme measures to return home for SCOTTY'S BIRTHDAY. This was something that I always felt meant something special for this little guy, he wasn't all that demanding for gifts and was easy to shop for but he seem to light up when I came home to celebrate these occassions just for him. He was never a very tall or large kid, well not on the outside. On the inside though, Scotty was a giant. I honestly feel he really had heart, and cared for so many people as well as God's other creatures. Today Scott would have turned 16 years old, He would have his drivers license, and I would have turned the keys to the camaro that we worked together on so much, that would have been my special gift to him. Scotty and me had a mutual respect and communication for each other, which made our relationship of Dad and Son more into best friends. Losing my special friend has made life extremely difficult, especially on Days like today. These hopes and dreams for this young man will never transpire and happen, but I feel that where his soul is now, that he doesn't know the sadness and grief that we feel each day. I would like to say Happy Birthday so badly to Scott, but for me it isn't a Happy Day. I can only wish and pray that Scott is having a Happy eternity in Heaven and remember the good memories we shared with him and the love and joy he had in his life. So Scotty, if there is any way God let's you read this tribute, I , we, your friends, and Family Love you very deeply, and miss you as we always will. Watch for the ballons that we send in the sky today for you my buddy, Love Dad
Where are you? / Dana Smith (sister) im so emty. i cant feel ANYTHING anymore. i just sit and watch everyone else pass by me. i try to act the same, but its hard without you there. we were together alot of the time, playing video games, on the trampaline, outside exploring..... but now your gone. how can you be gone? you were standing right beside me, where did you go. its so hard to not see you walk out of the band hall every day after school with your friends. its hard when we get off the bus and i look back.... and your not following me. and its hard waking up every morning and knowing that your not there.i feel you next to me but reality tells me your gone. where did you go, why are'nt you here, why am i all alone.
Almost 5 months? / Kely Utsey
Almost 5 months? I don't believe it! I mean it feels as if only yesterday my heart was torn to shreads by the heartwrenching news! I sometime belive Scotty is right here beside me the whole time and telling me to keep going. I wish he was I would never wear this frown I have on my face when some1 brings it up or I just sit here long enough to cry. Yes, I know I shouldn't be carrying on like that but, it still to this day hurts to even breath! I miss you and will always Love you Scotty! Kelly Erin Utsey
Fathers Day / Larry (Dad)
this day has been extremly hard to go through without you "my scotty". i could always rely on your thoughtfulness of that something special thought or gift of what you would do for me today. i didn't have to wait for june of each year to roll around for this special day, you made every day a fathers day for me. you always enlightened my days with smiles and optimism and i miss that so much and i always will. you have been such a good son,nephew, grandson, brother, and friend to so many. i do not cry alone as we try to live with just your memories. i know that you wouldn't want us to hurt as we do as you would want us to move on and live life to it's fullest as you did. thank you scotty for being a great son,a good buddy and a best friend. i ask what more could a man ask for in a son like you, and my answer is only that we could of had more time together here on earth. i know someday we will rejoin our friendship in heaven. i look forward to that meeting with you. love always dad
I moved to leon in the year 2003, i started band and sat right beside scott. Although our relationship didnt blossom when i first saw him, i began to notice that i started to tell scott so many things. Scott was a really close friend although i only knew him for two years. Scott could keep secrets better than anyone i know. There are things about Scott i still can't explain...like his love of life, his bubbly attitude (that i deeply appreciated when i was feeling down) and the mystery in those deep blue eyes. Scott and I had a joke with each other...i loved his dark blue eyes and he told me he loved my green ones. I recall a time when i wore makeup to school (which Scott hated) he told me "why don't you put on a lil' face with that makeup?" Although I was frustrated at the time i know now that i can look back and smile. I like when Scott would get mad in band and he would run his fingers through his beautiful blonde hair and then shake it around...i always laughed at him. Scott and I talked on the computer many times, we talked about alot of things so made sense...but most of it didnt. I loved how Scott could change my whole day by just cracking one little joke and then flashing those beautiful blue eyes. I always got a laugh out of him when he would get mad at me for saying Louisianna wrong...(which i did just to get him on his soapbox, cause it was so funny when he was serious). When this accident happened i was truly devastated, i had lost a wonderful friend that i will never be able to replace and would never want to. Although Scott is not the only friend/family member i have lost his death really hit home with me. It made me question my religion, at first i was questioning God's will then i realized Scott is way better of then any person still living. That doesnt get rid of the pain though. While questioning my religion I realized that everything happened for a reason, I also determined that I was not being as faithful a Christian as I had professed my selve to be. I have a whole new perspective on life, i feel i should live my life to the fullest...everyday as it was my last. I know that many of Scott's friends have also taking it apon themselves to look over dana and lauren...because we know that is what Scott would want. Also, to the family if there is anything i can do for the family i would surely appreciate a chance to help someone in Scott's name. I have realized that nothing in this great world should be taken for granted and that I should keep faith and make sure I do my best to worship God and to thank Scott for that chance. Although I am truly hurt by Scott and Miranda's accidents i do appreciate the many ways they have changed me and brought me closer to God. I do hope the family knows that Scott and Miranda are in Heaven bringing smiles to God and they are beautiful angels. That is the way I picture them when I am feeling sad and blue...although that won't take the pain away it gives you a chance to picture your little baby boy as a Heavenly angel of God. I hope this brings you some joy because i know that that is how Scott would want it. So my promise to Scott is hidden all in these words...and i know he understands!!! I will always miss you and will never stop thinking of you, i love you Scott. I love the family and I feel the pain too...you are all in my prayers!!! . . With all my love and all my prayers, Casey Smith
Remebering your Beautiful Son / Sandy Kelley (None) Thank you for your kind words and encourgement. Your son seemed to be so much like my son, Kevin. I can't express my grief enough to you or to myself. But I know you understand. I take pride in knowing how much my son was loved as I am sure you do. We both know when our time comes we will meet them in Heaven with a beautiful smile and a great big hug and time will be as though it has never passed. Take solice in God is taking care of our children now until we can join them.

Scott, was a bright spot in our grade / Melissa Cates (friend/classmate)
Scott, was a bright spot in our grade. Every single one of us sophomores miss him with a great deal. I remember about 2 weeks before Scott told me I had a Michael Jackson nose. I have never not liked him since he moved here in the 4th grade. Scott has always been an intelligent person. I love him and your whole family. Ya’ll will be in my prayers every night.
All my love,

The memories of Scott that I will miss / Kelly Warren (classmate/friend)
The memories of Scott that I will miss will have to be him singing Pink Floyd almost every day in biology, and how he used to say “I love my mom” in a funny voice. And when he would make up funny songs to help remember vocabulary words. I remember the time he licked Mrs. Schroeders pineapple candle, when we had PJ day and he carried around his teddy bear. I’ll never forget free music day where he sang the whole class period. And how he played with Brittany’s ears averyday. I remember last year when we had to show him a dictionary that cajun isn’t spelt with a “G” and that he was pale and didn’t tan because he was cajun. I’ll never forget Scott, he’s in my thoughts and prayers forever and so is his family.
Love, Kelly Warren

The memories I have of Scott / Michael Broussard (best friend )
It is so hard to think that a wonderful person like Scott is gone in the blink of an eye, but I don’t think he would want us to be sad forever. I will miss him and the smile on his face that never faded. I only knew Scott and Philip for half a school year, but in that time we grew to be best friends, because of all the things we had in common. I really don’t know what to feel, but deep down inside I can visit the memories I have of Scott. One day we were in the band hall thinking what would happen in a fight between two raging Cajuns, so I made him mad and he just lifted me up into the air with no problem at all. The whole class was amazed by the strength we saw come out of nowhere. He always put a smile on my face when I came to school feeling down about something. Scott was full of love and happiness. I don’t think I ever saw him mad about anything. I will miss him so much and I will always remember him. I’m praying for you and your family constantly.
Sincerely with love Michael Broussard
Scott would rub my ears and tell me how soft they were! / Brittany Robbins (best guy friend )
I will always miss the way Scott used to run into Biology and rub my ears and tell me how soft they were. He knew how to make me laugh when I was down. I will always miss his skipping around the classroom, and I never could forget the songs he used to sing to remember vocabulary words. It seems like this all is one big dream, a dream I can not wake up from. Everyday I come to school waiting for Scott to come in but he never shows up. Scott was known by everyone, he was like my best guy friend. There will always be a hole in my heart, that place was for Scott, and it will never be filled.

wonderful memories / Jennifer (classmate/friend)
Scott,
You will always be in my heart, you have given me wonderful memories that I will cherish forever. I love you.
Love Always,
Jennifer
Thanks for the memories / Christina Smith (close friend/classmate )
Scott. Words cannot be expressed enough about Scott. His personality was so awesome. For as long as I can remember we always had lockers beside one another. Between every class I would ask him for gum, but he never had any. This became our little routine. I did not have Scott in any of my Classes this year, but I still experienced some of his energy. I loved how even if he was not smiling it seemed like it. Scott was an amazing classmate and he will always be in my heart! And Scott, Thanks for the memories!
Forever in my heart,
Love , Christina Smith

(YES, it’s cause you’re Cajun!I Love you!) / Brenda Oak (friend/classmate)
Hey Scotty,
You don’t know how weird it is without you. I hear your voice in the hallways and turn around to see your locker. I walk in to first period every morning just to see your empty desk right in front of A.J. You were the life of the class! Remember how Mrs. Rob always played the foreign music over and over again? It got to the point where we both sang along to it1 Our voices are so beautiful… it’s sad that I never noticed how handsome you are. I think you are the perfect person. You had a bubbly personality and you are beautiful inside and out. We all have a broken heart syndrome. You taught me that life is a gift. Life is not predictable and tomorrow is not promised. I’m going to remember you forever Scotty! There’s a special place in my heart and soul for you. I’m going to miss you so much until we meet each other again. God takes the best people. You’re our handsome little angel. We’ll always miss you Scotty,
Love, Brenda Oak
(YES, it’s cause you’re Cajun!I Love you!)
Scott was a great guy / Sarah Padgett (friend/classmate)
Scott was a great guy, he lit up every room that he walked into. He could make anyone smile, he was very funny, we will all miss him very much. We love you forever and always.
Love always,
Sarah Padgett
he was always smiling / Brittany Griffin (classmate/friend)
One thing that I will always remember about Scott was that he was always smiling. He never talked bad about anybody. I will never forget the time in Mrs. Speers class that Scott made everyone laugh, because our class had to read a paper in front of the class and Mrs. Speer had already said that nobody was allowed to sit down. When Scott was reading his paper, he was getting aggravated that he couldn’t read his paper with out studdering, and out of the blue Scott said” Can I please sit down cause I am freakin out here?”and the teacher let him sit. Scott made everyone smile. It was so funny. I will miss him.

He will always be in our hearts / Carly Lynn (classmate/friend)
I remember how Scott was always such a positive person and he never let anything get to him. He never talked negative about anyone. Scott was a good person and I know I speak for the entire Sophomore Class of 2005 when I say that he will always be remembered, always. He will always be in our hearts and we love him unconditionally.

It’s just because I’m Cajun , Right?” / Sarah Noey (friend/classmate)
It’s just because I’m Cajun , Right?” The famous quote by Scott Smith! This is just one of the many things that I will miss hearing everyday. Scott would always joke about how we would get married one day and make the “Smithnoeys” (long story) I just want you to know that Scott was an amazing person and even greater friend. He will always be in my heart. God Bless you!!
Love, Sarah Noey
“Here comes the Cheerleader” / Lizzy Hammond (friend/classmate)
“Here comes the Cheerleader” I still hear the words Scott always said to me as I walked into my first period class. He always tried to make me smile when I came to class grouchy, and he always succeeded at doing so. It’s hard to believe I won’t be seeing him again. He seemed like one of my biggest supporters and fans. He always had something nice to say, and if he did say something mean, it was just a joke and he would bust out laughing after he said it. I will never forget the time in Mrs. Robinson’s class, when she was on her soap box about the election when Scott said, “Vote Nadar!” Of Course he was joking, but that little comment set Mrs. Rob off. I laughed so hard because it all had just been one of Scott’s usual little jokes, and he ended up getting a fifteen-minute lecture on how if he were president, our country would just fall apart. Scott’s presence in the classroom just made it a jovial place. He just brought the sense of happiness with him. Without him it just won’t ever be the same.
I have come to believe that God takes the good ones, first because Scott was definitely one of the greatest people I have ever known. I will always Love him, and I will miss him greatly. He is now in the arms of the angels. A place where there is no pain and hurt, and he truly belongs there. It will never be the same here at LeonHigh School without him, but we know he is here in our hearts forever.
