I have worked with Scotties’ Aunt Sue Stoutzenberger for many years. I also have walked in your shoes with two of my sons. It is not easy being a parent. We just do the best we can. My heart is full of sorrow for the whole family. Please know that your family is in our prayers.
With Heart-felt Sympathy,

Deb, Scott and Ryan….Our deepest sympathies to all of you at this very difficult and sad time. We were shocked and saddened to hear of Scottie’s passing. We are truly sorry for your loss. My heart aches for you and your family. We too have memories of Scottie with Penn Manor Little League. The years of tromping off to different fields.. Pack 101 Cub Scouts, pinewood derbys, pack meetings… Martic Elementary, Marticville and HS with Jeremy and Scottie in the same grade. Scottie always had a smile and a hello. He will not be forgotten. We will keep your family in our prayers.
With our deepest sympathies,
Bill, Judy, Billy, Jeremy and Timothy Nye
He was just hanging out with all of us the other week. And then a few days later we got the unbelievable news. He was a great friend to me. He was such an amazing guy. He had the biggest heart and would help anyone at an given chance. Its sad to see him go. I miss him. We all miss him. I am so very very sorry for your loss.
Scott,Deb, Ryan.
Just want to say how sorry i am to hear of your loss. I know he is in a better place. We all have the best of memories and he will never be forgotten. One thing i want to say is Fish on Scottie.
Our family was very saddened to hear of your loss. Losing a child at any age is one of the most difficult times in life. After the loneliness of them not being there and after you went through all the "what if’s," is when you can begin to live again without them. It may take days, months or years but that time does come. Just keep him alive in your heart and memories, that’s what helped me through the loss of our son. We will keep your family in our prayers that God comforts you and keeps you strong during this most difficult time.

Scottie was the unanimous choice the year he received the Umpire of the Year award for Penn Manor Little League. Everybody – fellow umpires, coaches, players, and parents all remarked about his skill, maturity, calmness and kind demeanor. Scottie was the League’s first youth umpire so honored, and he paved the way for the other young men who followed in his footsteps. His success gave them the confidence to try something new and give back to the community like he had. They all looked up to Scottie. We adults all thought of him as a terrific young man. As a representative of Penn Manor Little League, Scottie always upheld the standards of the League and carried himself with dignity. His life was too short but his legacy lives on. Scottie will always be remembered, especially on those perfect spring and summer nights under the lights at Hobo Hollow.

Your loss of a good son is a very hurtful event. I am very sorry this happened. Try to remember that this is only temporary. The gates of heaven
opened for Scottie and later you will see him again through Jesus. Please ask
Jesus to be your Savior and Lord of your live.
Our heart is with you now
Paul and Darlene Warfel and Family
My heartfelt sympathy in the loss of an amazing young man. I can still see that wonderful smile! He played softball on our church league with my son, Steven, who thought the world of Scotty. He was always helping the younger players, encouraging them and helping them out. Steven shared how Scotty would always say to him when he stood at the plate, "Let the first one go Steven, you got 2 more to swing at." What a wonderful attitude for such a young man. He loved his family, talked about the trips to Ocean City, Maryland and his family adored him as they all came out to watch Scotty play ball. Words can not express my deepest sympathy to you all especially- Deb & Ryan. May you find comfort in God’s word and happiness in the memories of this amazing young man! Bless all of you!

Scott, Deb, and Ryan,
It was an honor to have your son and brother in our lives. Joe and I have always felt that he was part of our family. My family shares so many fond memories of Scottie. When ever you think of a story that involved Scott it surely is followed with uncontrolled laughter. His sense of humor, his ability to light up any room he entered will be missed by all. Although his time with us has been brief it was filled with a life time of wonderful memories. You’re in our prayers. We pray that God lifts you up with his mighty and loving hands and carries you through this time of sorrow.
Joe and Tracy Murgas
Myself and my husband had the pleasure of meeting Scottie through our son Shawn, he too was involved in the car club. He was so sweet and a very respectful young man. He thought it odd that neither my husband or myself thought of him oddly due to all his tattoos, and piercing. I then found out through a friend that I had worked with his aunt at LRMC. His aunt (Sue S) worked closely for a few years and I can recall her saying how sweet of a kid he was. My most deepest thought’s and prayer are with all of you, even though these are words I hope you can find some comfort, and know that Scottie will be truly missed. All of Scottie family and friends will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Troy, Shawn and Cheryl Fryberger

We did not know Scottie all that well but whenever we would see him at baseball, he was always so nice and polite and fun to talk with. I cannot even begin to imagine what your family is going through right now but please know you are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through the many stages of the healing process. God bless each of you.
Cork and Jon Richwine
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our scottie. We loved him as if he were our own son and brother. We have so many memories of scottie, from when we first got to know him with curts 6th birthday party, to the trouble curt and scott would get into on school field trips. There were the times deb and I would have to hunt them down in our cars because they were gone on there bikes and we did not know where they were, To all the different adventures and inventions they would come up with as they grew up.Were really going to miss seeing scott, curt, and jeremy together as they were always together. Im going to miss talking football with scott we could always complain about his redskins and my eagles. Our hearts are aching, We share your grievance and we miss him already. He will hold a special place in our hearts forever!
With much love and sympathy from jim deb curtis and kayla sayres.
Our most sincere condolences to you and your family on your loss.
We’re sure he is among the angels.
