I had a great time last year in IPC with Scott. Mrs. Beddingfield would always get on to Scott, Damien and me for playing with the gas valves. Scott would bring his Playstation 2 and we would play the whole period. The best time we had was trying to build a hot air balloon. We kept arguing over the best design for it. When we finally agreed on one, and built it, it looked like a giant sausage. We never got around to flying it, although we just knew it would fly. We had some good times in that class, and I’m going to miss them.

THE CAJUN GUY

With Scott’s smile and hilarious jokes and ways, it wasn’t hard to get to know him. Although my relationship with Scott was limited, it was loved. I sat next to Scott in BCIS. Everyday I would sang loudly in his ear, and sometimes he would join in. I loved Scott being there. He was the only one in my class that I could actually carry a conversation with. He would always pick on me and make me laugh. He knew just what to say at actually the right time. And one of my most prominent memories of Scott was that he was the type of person that could insult you, but not make you mad. Like whenever he used to call me fat, it was hilarious not hateful. Scott was a good person that touched a lot of lives because he wasn’t afraid to talk with and get to know people. He was the type of person that would light up a room whenever he walked into it, because of his naturally good intentions towards people and their feelings. He’s the one person that could make the worries in the world disappear just by saying one of his jokes or singing. Whenever I think of Scott now, I think of the song

”Stories” from Trapt.

          “Too much of the same stories in our life, I think it’s time for us to walk away…”

I think that Scott had enough good stories to fill his heart, so he was ready to walk his way to Heaven, to walk his way to better things.

Scotty was one who would make you laugh no matter what you were doing. He was so nice and could make friends with everybody. I will miss him so much in 1st period because he would perk up everybody. He had a very good personality and that’s what people saw in him. I think I never seen him smiling. Scotty was a very good trumpet player. It was nice to here him play.

                                                           I love ya Scotty

In Memory of Scott Smith:

So many good things to say about you even though I didn't know you very well. I have heard many good things about you and you and I talked. You were very outgoing, and you were very popular at school. Everybody is going to miss you. This place is going to be different without you, but for a fact you didn't want us to feel sad, you would want us to be happy.

Janet and Family,

    Scott will always be remembered by me. I just wanted you to know, that you, Philip and all of your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. You are a very good mother and my heart goes out to you.

                                                                                                       Love,   Crystal Bishop

Scott,

   God Bless You ! You will always be in our hearts! You’re in our prayers.

                                                                                                       Love always,

Scott was a great friend, and he was loved by everyone. He was always smiling and singing. He came into biology singing a different song. Some days it was Elton John, sometimes Pink Floyd, and sometimes he made up songs. He always made me laugh, whether he was poking me in the stomach or "the rock" as he called it, or playing with my hair. I will miss seeing him skipping everywhere. I will miss seeing him at our lockers after every class. I look at his locker every time I go to my locker. I will miss playing games and listening to music with him at U.I.L. Scott and I weren't best friends, but we were still good friends, and school is not the same without him. There is an empty void that will never be filled. I hope that you can find some comfort is knowing that Scott was loved by so many, I loved him and I will never forget him.

        Love,  Rayna Thomas

When I hear the name Scott, all I can think about is white hair. Scott and I always had the whitest hair in the school and we always talked about what color hair our kids would have. Scott was a wonderful person and many people will miss him. He was the heart and soul of the sophomore class. We will all miss Scott dearly and if you need to talk or ever need company, we are all here. (Your school kids) We love you!

Love,

Whitley Ivey

Scotty was a great friend, he was one of my best friends, and he was like a brother to me! We were so close, it felt like we were brother and sister and that’s when I started calling Mrs. JANET, mom. Me and Scott have so many memories that I will never forget him he is irreplaceable. Your family is in my prayers.

                                                                                                                      Love always and forever,

Scott was always making people laugh. When people were down he always made people feel better. He joked with everyone. He was very sweet. He always shook his head from side to side to fix his hair. He skipped down the aisle in the classroom. He lined up the candles in Mrs. Schroeder’s biology class.

                                                                                                                                               Love,

Scott was a wonderful person with a great heart. Scott was always laughing and smiling. If you were sad or angry, Scott could always take your mind off of things and make you smile. I loved listening to Scotty play the trumpet. Scott will be missed dearly. Things will never be the same without Scott, but he will be always remembered!!

                                                   I LOVE SCOTT

I will Love you and miss you ALWAYS!!!!

                                                                                                                          LOVE Elizabeth Neyland

Scott was one of the nicest and sweetest guys that I know. I wasn't like his best friend, but I was god friends with him. He sat strait across from me in my first period class. I sat around him, R.J., Fletcher, and David Carigan. Let me tell you, those four have taught me a lot! Some good and some bad. Everyday I go into class thinking that he will tell me hello, and smile at me from ear to ear. Monday me and Fletcher were talking about everything him and Scott did for fun, etc.... I'm going to miss Scott, but not forever because I know I will see him again someday, regardless. Our Class of 2007 will never forget him; he will always be in our hearts. I pray though everyday for Phil, and the rest of your family, ya’ll are in our hearts forever.

Miranda,

    I know without a doubt that you and Scott have regrouped in Heaven. I trust that Joy has lifted your hearts, and in time we will all rejoice when we see you and Scotty again. I know how your parents are feeling and how they have been feeling since they lost you temporarily as we did with Scott. Thank you for being a friend to Scott now as you was here.

Scott will NEVER be forgotten at school. He was always smiling and making jokes. He was in my 2nd period biology class. Scott would always sing, play with Brittany's ears, and skip up and down the aisle. And when Phil would walk by, Scott would always say, "Phil’s Gay" (in a joking way)then he would be like "what, what, I didn't say anything." He could turn your worst day into your best. You will always be with us Scott!

                                                                                                                                 YOU’RE CLASSMATE

p.s. He would always sing Pink Floyd!

Scott,

       Everyday I think and think of how happy you would always be. I loved talking to you... and it is not because you were Cajun. Everyone is in my prayers for this tragedy.. Scott I love you...

Scotty as he liked to be called was one that made acquaintances friends and enemies acquaintances. He could make anyone laugh, even if they were in the worst of moods, with his clever remarks, and his lightened attitude, no one could stay upset in his presence. I suppose I will miss our unique "come back" contests, and our conversations about colleges and Spanish class, and how anything about school would never help us with our future professions. I will also miss how Scott could make a joke out of any situation, and at times I would like to think that he is laughing at us about this whole thing. Well go ahead and laugh BUDDY, I will join along with ya'!

Making everyone laugh was always Scott's thing. With a just a few words and maybe a little joke he could make even the most upset person laugh. I will forever miss our arguments over which game system was the best. He would get frustrated and shake his head and his hair would go crazy. This led to everyone laughing (including Scott). For these reasons we nominated him as our class "personality plus", he always seemed so happy..... That's what I'll miss,

Scotty was one who always made you laugh. Scotty never was in a bad mood, and usually wouldn't let anyone else be either. We seemed to always get into some type of trouble together. I will really miss him during the morning announcements because he seemed to always do something funny. Scotty is someone that anyone could trust. Scotty is the best friend anyone can have. We will all miss him, but we know he will be watching over us. Scotty will always be in my heart, and I know that someday I will see him again.
