Tracey, Steven “Steve” Scott – It was with great sadness that Steve, aged 49, passed away from complications of his heart, liver and his on-going battle with Crohn’s on September 24, 2020 in the Halifax Infirmary.

Steve will be remembered as a kind and generous person who always made others laugh and would go above and beyond to help anyone in need of a helping hand. He lived life to the fullest and always lived to help others ahead of himself.  He spent his time doing what he enjoyed most including being with his immediate family and close friends, plumbing and construction projects and being with his pets. 

Steve’s favorite times were hanging out with his daughter Sammy being an amazing Dadu to her and teaching her everything about life and love for others.  Sammy’s fondest memories of her dad were spending time out and about creating fun and crazy adventures.  They taught each other lots of life’s lessons. There were always memories made when Sammy and Steve were together.  She will greatly miss her dad and the love he showed her daily.

A special thank you goes out to Steve’s community of friends for helping Tanyia and Sammy in these difficult times.  A community is not just people we know and see on a regular basis, they are people who come to us due to the work of God’s hands.  A new larger family that both his daughter and wife will cherish and be blessed for in years to come.  God gives us many great gifts along the way in our lives and they should always be embraced.  Prayers and blessings are going out for the generosity and support.

Cremation has taken place and Steve’s remains will be buried in the Beech Hill Cemetery in Lunenburg County at a later date.
