I thought about Scott tonight on my ride home from work. I've thought about him a lot in the past month, and sorry that I haven't written yet. I hope this gets to his loved ones. Tonight, a classic rock song came on the radio while I was driving, and I remembered that Scott was one of the first of us to have a car in high school (I was a high school friend through track and cross country). We had a lot of good times riding in that car, and listening to Scott's favorite classic rock radio station at the time! Scott was good-natured, generous and fun. It is such a tragedy that he, of all people, had to pass so soon. Here are a few other memories:
I remember I was Scott's prom date his junior year. I was honored, and so excited! He was a perfect gentleman (as always), and we had so much fun dancing! Scott wasn't so self-conscious that it got in the way of him being authentic, real, and just putting himself out there. Now, looking back, he was extremely mature for his age.
He was mature in a lot of ways - holding down his job at KFC. Reliable, loyal, hard-working. He was an excellent role model and just a genuinely good kid. I wish I'd known him better as an adult.
I remember also one particular cross country state race. Scott was everywhere on the course! Each turn, each lonely stretch, Scott was the face I saw and the voice I heard, cheering me on. He was loaning me his unbounded enthusiasm and optimism. I remember his spirit was palpable, and probably one of the things that kept me going in that race. Scott was loyal and utterly supportive, even then at age 18.
I did get to see Scott years later at another high school friend's wedding. It was so lovely to catch up! Still the same purity and joy from him. Still the same sassy dance moves and no fear in putting it all right out there. I remember he and I independently had trouble finding others to dance with. We were both just kind of wandering around the dance floor, busting a move by ourselves every now and then. I think it was him who came up to me and then... we just had a blast. So much fun! And everyone else just disappeared.
I am so, so sorry that you, his family, and all of his patients, and all of his friends, and the world in general has lost such a joyful, caring, giving person. I am grateful that I got to know him for the time that I did. I'll picture him now, dancing and loving freely, with no constraints.

Dear Reese family,
I met Scott when he was a freshman at University of the Sciences. He came to the Admission Office looking for a work-study job. I was hesitant to hire him and I was sure he would quit after the first week. But there was something about Scott and his sweet smile that made me give him a chance, and I'm so glad I did.
On his first day, I gave Scott a pile of letters to fold and put in envelopes. I left him alone in an empty office. When I went to check on him, he was licking the envelopes to seal them. I had forgotten to give him the sealer! Poor Scott! But he was determined to get the job done. Scott was one of the best workers I ever had. I could depend on him to do any job I asked, and do it well.
Over the years I hired other male students, but none of them were as good as Scott.
During the four years that Scott worked with me, I grew to love him like a son. I was so happy for him when he graduated, but sorry to see him go.
I saw Scott a few times while he was living in the Philadelphia area, but then we lost touch. I was so happy to re-connect with him a few years ago on Facebook. I had the opportunity to see his marriage to Erin, the blending of their two families and the joyous birth of Hope. I was thrilled that he found his soulmate and was happy again. But sad to see his illness progress so quickly.
To Scott's parents, thank you for raising such a wonderful son. You taught him well.
To everyone in the Reese family, I hope your happy memories of Scott help to ease your pain during the months ahead. Heaven has gained another angel.
Sincerely,
Elaina Corrato

I marched with Farmington Firebirds with Scott years ago. Many fun and fond memories of our friendship from back then. So proud to see that he had grown up into a fine young gentleman. Heartbroken that he has been taken away too soon.
My prayers and thoughts are with you...his family and friends.

Erin and family,
Deepest sympathies to all of you with the passing of Scott. He truly was a gifted person. He had a great personality. He was always pleasant to all the ground folks he met up with on MFC and a real patient advocate. He will forever be in your hearts. Remember that he will always be watching over each and every one of you.

It seems surreal that this has happened. He was always so healthy and had a great, willing smile for everyone. I remember reconnecting with Scott when he was the PT person helping my mom after her knee replacement surgery. What should have been a routine surgery ended up being quite difficult - and Scott was one of the people she remembers helping her with that encouraging smile and words. I know she was one of many who had a similar, wonderful experience during a very difficult time because of him. Peace and blessings to his family.
