Goodbye for now, / Dana Smith (sister) Scott was my brother and my best friend, He was the one that always brought me up when I was down, and always made sure that I had a smile on my face. He was the one who taught me how to fight and standup for myself. He taught me to always look at the good side of everything and to always have a positive attitude. I'll never see him coming in my room every morning again to check if his hair looked good and if his clothes matched. I'll never see him smiling and making jokes. I have so many memories locked away in my heart that I will never let go of. Scott was my closest brother, we were only 2 years apart. Scott was one of the funniest people I know. I love him so much and I know all of ya'll love him too, and he is in all our hearts and always will be. He will always be a part of me.There are so many things that make me sad, and I fear that will never leave. He is NEVER coming back. The only time that I will ever see him again is in my dreams, memories, and of course in Heaven. your "Home-Girl, Dana"
Homecoming Day at Leon / Dana Smith (Sister/Best Friend )
Scott was one of the funniest people I know. He was always coming up with hilarious things to make people laugh. For example once he shaved his legs for homecoming. He made everyone feel his legs because he was so proud of himself. Some people may have thought that he was strange by doing this, but Scott didn't care. He was his own person. He was the one who made me smile every day, as he did for everyone else.
Introduction to my book which is for him / Lucien St.Pe` ("Yee-Haw") In The Wake Of But A Moment
Prologue: Reflections in my eye In but a moment you can loose a friend, a relative, or even your own life. I know; it’s happened to me, more than once in more than one form. By breaking away from you, moving, death, I’ve seen it all. My name is Lucien St.Pe` and quite recently have lost ones who are close to me. Mainly being a dear friend of mine who died due to a car accident on February 22, 2005, Scott Allan Smith. You would think that the loses that would hurt the most, would be of the people that you have known for all of your life; that theory is very inaccurate. I only knew Scott for around five years, but in days following his sudden demise my life seemed feeble and useless. I value life very much, but in recent times I wanted it dearly to end. To see him again. To hear his laugh, and see that smile on his face. I know several philosophies, of them, one comes to mind. If we are marked to die; let us not die in vain, but with purpose. Well, I think Scott did…Scott is with God because he believed and knew him. Philip on the other hand, had yes, committed himself to the Lord but in recent years has begun to waver from his faith. This I hope will change.
“Yee-Haw”-Lucien St.Pe` Though I might not have been one of Scott’s closest friends, but he was one of mine. but i still love him as my friend. To me, hes not dead, not gone; but everywhere i look, there he is with that smile.
Missing You! / Kelly Utsey During football season I would sit with the band at games and march back to the band hall with them I just normally thought of myself as the Leon Cougar Band Mascot (which we all knew I wasn't). I would look up at the trumpets while we played We Ready or something similar and I remember Scott would just smile like as it was his first time to learn how to smile. Everytime I saw him smile I would just light up like a candle. Not a day goes by that I don't think of Scotty. Through me moving and everything I feel as if Scott is right there by me saying keep your head up things will get better and, I know they will because Scott tought me and everyone that no matter how bad the situation is look on the bright side it will get better. In the past months I feel as if Scott is there holding everybody up saying look at this this is an advantage or look at this. I have a special place in my heart for Scott and nothing will ever make me forget about him NOTHING! even if I loose my memory I will not forget him. I love you forever and for always Scotty! With all of my Love, Kelly Erin Utsey
I will always miss you / Hali Coulter (Friend)
Scott i will always miss you. you were there every day in band with a smile on your face and that would make me happy when i was down. but know your gone and i only think of those days that you just looked at me and it made me happy cause you were smiling. I will never forget Laurens b-day when she turned 7. Cause that is when i first meet Dana. i only knew you and steven. you me and Dana all played in the sand at the park and chased each other around and that is how me and Dana became friends in the first place because of you. Her b-day this year was totaly diffrent cause you were not there to crack jokes with everone. we all wrote something on a ballon and let them go out side. Dana really miss scott she trys her hardest not to show it at school but deep down she wants to let it all out. She trys not to show it around her friends, and that makes me hurt to see Dana the way she is, to see all of yall the way yall are makes me hurt.I will always miss Scott no matter how long it has been since he was killed in a car accident. he will always been in my heart and thought i will never forget him. I miss you Scott!
best memories forever / Fletcher Alexander (bestfriend/classmate)
Looking back I can see Scott and me playing in the sand Pile in his back yard to playing in the spring. I also remember the time that me and Scott were helping his dad build the barn and his dad sent us to throw away some trash and when Scott threw the trash in the fire pit, the bank caved in and Scott fell in. Before he could get out some cans of foam sealant exploded and we had to cut all of the foam out of Scotty’s hair. These are only a sample of the book of memories that me and Scott had together, but I would not trade them for the world. Scotty was like my brother and I will love him forever.
Fletcher Alexander
mathew and scott / Megan Burns_watts (friend) scott, you and me never got to know each other as i would have liked but we did know each other a little and you made my day cheer up every time i was upset. the best thing that i loved about you was when you met my son it was funny watching mathew laugh at you. i wish you could see him now you would laugh at him he is funny i know he will never know that you knew him but in my heart i will always remember you holding him and laughing with him. i will never forget you even when i grow old i promise.
Still not believing it... / Britney Hibbeler (Friend of the family ) I did not know Scott that well. But I do know Phillip and Steve and the rest of the family. What I do remember of Scott was all good. He was funny and bright and always laughing or making people laugh. That is what I remember of him from riding the band bus or Friday night football games. He was lively and everyone loved him. And everyone still does.
Mrs. Janet is the sweetest lady I have ever met, and Lauren and Dana are no exception. This family is one of the nicest and most considerate families I have ever met. My sympathy goes out to you all. For Steve... Buddy, you are my best friend. I love you with ALL my heart. I wish that I could take YOUR pain away and make your life full again. I hurt because you are hurting, but I still cannot even begin to know what you are going thru. I know that you loved Scott sooo much and you are being there for Philip and I know that you love your family unconditionally. Please know that I am there for you no matter what: whenever and for whatever.
Love, Britney
Sorry/ Courtni Neyland (Friend to sister ) I am so sorry for what has happen to you. I know I will never understand what you are going threw.Many people I know and loved died.Like Miranda Alexander she lives down my road and she was there when my sister and her sister were just moving in there dorms at Sam Houston.Me and Miranda had to go and take the trash out while everybody else got to stay in the dorm.We got lost trying to find the right floor final we found it. I know you have heard this a million times but he is in a better place than we will every be he on Earth. If Life throws us curves which you know it will we try and dodge them but some times they hit us right between the eyes and we don't notice it till it has already happened. I am so sorry love, Courtni Rae Neyland
In memory of Scott Smith / Crystal Bishop (Friend) I just wanted to let all the family and friends of Scott know that i am truly soory for all the pain you have all been through. I did not know Scott very long but in the short time i did know him he taught me alot. He helped me see more of the good in things and people instead of so much of the bad. He made my laugh when i felt like crying and happy when i was sad. I will always miss the way he would poke me in the side and make me laugh. He touched me more in so much of a short time than most people have in all my life. He was a great friend. I will always remember him as the funniest person in my class.(Class of 2007) I want you all to know i am praying for you all day and night and that even thoe it dosen't seem like it, things will get better. He is being held in the arms so secure and safe and beleive it or not has a much bigger and brighter smile on his face.
I still don't want to believe. / Kelly Utsey I still don't want to believe that Scott is gone. I am just waiting for my alarm clock to go off and go to school to see him smiling away. One day I am going to have to face reality and get it through to my brain that he is in a much better place and that I should be happy for him that he gets to sit up there with God and make him laugh like he did many of us. Like Lucien said you would think that the ones you would miss the most are the ones you have known your whole life, I agree that it is not true at all! I know when I lost my dad at age 5 it hurt, it hurt bad but this hurts worse. There is no reasonable explenation for this. I just know that Scott will be in my heart forever! Kelly Erin Utsey!
Dana im so so sorry what you went through and what you are going through. I have not lost anybody i love that is close to me but I can only imagine how you feel. one thing that is good that comes out of this is that you still have Phil and Steven. I hope Phil gets to feeling alot better and i hope you know that Scott is watching yuo right now. lylas, Chelsea Bergeron
memories/ James Wilson (friend) Scott i remember the first time we meet. it was spring concert and my parents left early, so you, larry, Jim took me home ( if i am not mistaken it was in the same truck that you passed away in.) larry said that on halloween we were going to wrap fletchers house. i wraped it on halloween 04 anyway. and i remember the fun we had on the way and at Canton.like the gun fights in larrys studio. i remember that almost everyday i would walk in the band hall you would strech and yawn and say: Big James. i still cry everyday. From: Big James

My thoughts and Prayers are with you and im sending speical prayers out to Philip for a speedy recoverery. Janet know you can call me anytime and i will be here for you sweetie. Sending you all big ((Hugs)) love Holly
20 Unbearable Months / Larry, Scotty's Dad (Dad) It has been 20 months now since our lives have been changed, (ruined or disfigured) Nothing is the same as it was before nor will it ever will be or can be. Our lives are different now and have been changed by the irrisponsibilitiy of " professional truck drivers". Things should have happened that we will never get to see happen. Scott would have his drivers license now, we would have celebrated his 16th, and 17th birthday by now, he would be in his senior year at school, he would be driving his camaro, thousands of more smiles would have been inspired by him by now, he would be making preparations to graduate, go to the prom, prepare for the future, someday have a family and raise kids(he would have been a great daddy). All of those things that a lot of people take for granted we can never see happen. As parents our job with Scott is incomplete, we prepared ourselves to take some bad with the good, to do our best to raise this young man to his fullest potential. I was always prepared to help this boy in any way form or fashion deemed nessesary plus some. It was my job to protect and lead him along with shelter and feed him. In the past 20 months i feel so helpless in that task because I can only pray for god to take over this job of protecting him and to take care of this young man that we love so very much. I say LOVE not LOVED, because our love isn't over for him, we will always love our Scotty. It Hurts so much when you Love your child so much and you cannot place those feelings to them directly like you always could before when they were physically present. Now we seem to send our feelings upwardly to the sky. The hurt in our hearts still lingers on us, we don't like this dull and sometimes sharp aches in our hearts, but we have learned to somewhat deal with it. Sometimes it is more difficult than other times. Scotty's Mom and myself have talked a lot about this and we wake up every day thinking of Scott and go to sleep thinking of Scott, not to mention constanly memories and thoughts throughout the day. I have a very hard time going to the School functions, football games most of all, because it hurts to much knowing Scott isn't there. I find myself looking for him everywhere, every time I see some blonde headed boy I catch myself doing a double take and a sudden desparate hope that all of this could have been a bad dream and it is now over, reality hits me very soon afterwards and it leaves me in this depressive state of unhappiness which we have seemed to have adjusted too. Reality hits me daily when I come onto this site to update or change the music, add pictures or just read. I miss Scott, I miss him very much. He wasn't just a son he was my very best friend. I know or feel that I will never have a best friend again like I did with My Scottyboy. The best honor I can place for Scott is to uphold his memories in the highest reguard and to never forget the short time that we had him here with us. No life will never be the Same now, how can it be? Our Family will never recover, we are changed forever. The only thing we can do is to pick up the pieces of our lives and try to put something together of those pieces. If we talk about Scott to you, we are not trying to bring you down or depress you, we are just trying to uphold his memories and keep him with us the only way that we know how. This has been so hard on all of our lives here in our family. We LOVE and MISS our SCOTT. Love always, Dad
Christmas/ Larry, Scotty's Dad (Dad & Friend ) I would like to extend all of my and my family's most sincere Thanks to Scotty's Friends, relatives, and to our community for the support we have received over the Past 10 months. It really warms my heart to know that Scott had such loyal friends that respected and loved him. I would like to take this time to wish you all a Merry Christmas and to have safe holidays. Our Christmas will be very indifferent and empty without Scotty. I look over the video tapes of Christmas past and see this Jolly little fellow bouncing around with joy and a smile, and i wish that we could have that again. I know it is impossible, but it is a wish that we want to come true. No parent should feel what Janet and I feel and have felt during this year, and no parent should have to buy a Memorial Stone for their child for Christmas. This hurt that we feel is everlasting and doesn't go away, we feel it daily. Thank You again for your support and your love. Love and Merry Christmas , Larry, Janet, Steven, Philip, Dana,& Lauren
for scotty / Haley Sheppard (friend) Scott wasn't just my boyfriend he was my bestfriend. I miss him so much and sometimes I dont want to believe this has happened. He had these little pet names for me which drove me crazy, but now I wish to here them one more time, he always called me 5-Head (because i have a big forehead)lol. Whenever we would talk I loved to watch his eyes get brighter and brighter, he was always smiling and he always made me smile. My only regret is i never told him how much he meant to me. He was always smiling and he always made me smile. There is a special place in my heart for Scott, and I will never stop missing him or wishing he could come back. I loved him so much and I still do and I wish that I would have told him, but I never did. He meant so much to me and my heart gos out to his family, who are in my prayers. With all of my love, Haley
remembering/ Haley Sheppard (close friend )
its seems like a lifetime ago since you were with us... in the last few months i have been thinking about you alot back in april i almost joined you and i cant help but think that you were watching over me that day and through out my recovery, your mom came and visited me in the hospital as i knew you would have and if it was you that was with me that day i dont know how to express my gratitude for that... i no longer live in jewett and am away and in college and i cant help but think of what you would be doing whether you would be away in canada or starting you family of 12 children and running your daycare somewhere any kid would have been lucky to have you for a dad. i still think back to the days in school when you could make everyone laugh and brighten any sad day as time goes by you are not forgotten and remain in my heart... i hope things are well for you where ever you are and that i see you again, until we meet again,
Love always, Haley
(better known as 5-head)
Congragulation Seniors 2007 / Larry, (Scotty's Dad )
CLASS OF 2007 / Larry, (Scotty's Dad ) I sit here feeling lost and distraught with emotions running way out of control. This night we payed tribute and honor to The Class of 2007, for which Scott was to be a part of. He wasn't there ! Or at least not in physical form bu twas there in spirit. A vacant chair with a rose, a memorial table with his Pictures on it along with some flowers, a memorial Scholarship in which we had given to one of his closest friends., And he was included in several mentions, prayers and powerpoint presentation. For all of this I am deeply thankful that he is remembered and well thought of. The tears welled up on me tonight, knowing that he didn't get to be there with his friends and complete this stage in his life and get to move on with the rest. I looked around and saw his friends, all of which had grown so much taller since we lost Scotty. this made me wonder how much taller he would be and how he would have progessed on with his dreams and ideas. My heart is broken into pieces, I really wanted to see that big smile on him and that glow in his face after the ceremony was over. It is the little things that parents want as they are so proud of their kids when they acomplish these things and move on to the next step in life. I guess it means we have to find a way to move on ourselves and somehow find some sort of happy feelings we are suppose to have, Maybe just a little trust in God that he is taking care of our Scotty and protecting him as we would do while he was here. To all of Scotty's friends and classmates 2007, may God protect, Lead and watch over you, and guide you to making the right decisions on the roads to your new life and future. Scotty, you are always in my heart and thoughts. Love always and forever, Dad
