I met Scott in rehab back in '19-'20, when I first started my recovery journey. We both been in and out of recovery.  He was a great friend, always willing to lend a hand, give money, advice and laughs. It hurt to learn that he's gone, but know he's in a better place.  My condolences and prayers go out for his family and I hope one day to have a heart like his...

My heart is breaking for the Dixon Family and especially Scott's daughters.  The Dixon's always welcomed me into their home during high school and made me part of the family.  So sorry for your loss.  xoxo

— with Scott and Justin

Scott and I both attended Middletown High School. He and I had mutual friends on the MHS swim team when I first spoke to him at Tim's house in the Fall of '89. As we grow older, everyone starts hanging out with new people, so when I stopped by I became the 3rd wheel. In my experience at the time, when circles of friends collided it was awkward, and the last person arriving (me) didn't hang around too long. However, Scott was different. He was immediately warm and inviting. He started making conversation about people we all knew at school, and movies and shows we all enjoyed. This is what I'll remember about him. He was always laughing, and smiling and a friend to everyone! I was shocked to hear of his passing, and although I'd seen him on Facebook, I never 'friend' requested him as I felt that he just didn't know me well enough to accept. I regret not sending that request now, because the few memories I have of him are all good; and I know he would've accepted my friend request. He will surely be missed by everyone close to him. I write this simply to let his family know, that he truly was a great guy. I've never forgotten how funny and genuinely nice, he was that day. I'm glad to have met him. Rest in Peace, Scott. You will be missed.  

My family had a going away party for my brother and I before we left for our military service in 1992. This is the last photo of the three of us, I spent some time with Scott a few months ago and unfortunately we didn't refresh our time line. You will be missed as one misses a brother. Rest peacefully...

Scott was a great person and always a good friend. Nobody ever had a bad thing to say about Scott. Everybody liked him. We were teammates on the swim team for 3 years. Scott was a star and leader of the team. He loved swimming and was a role model for all of his teammates. The coach relied on him to set an example for the rest of us. Very few people know this but Scott helped me tremendously with a bad situation in high school. When I was freshman I was being picked on by an older student. Whenever I would see this person he would threaten me and call me names. The situation continued for over a year. One day during gym class the older student was talking badly to Scott about me. Scott told him to back off because he was my friend and I was a good guy. The older student never bothered me again. In fact, he was nice to me and acted like he was my friend. I will always remember Scott for doing that for me and the many other memories we shared together on the swim team and as friends. My sympathies and prayers to Scott's family. He will be missed and always remembered for the brightness he brought to those who were fortunate to know him. 

Sad to hear of Scott’s passing, as kids we were very close friends and while after high school we all went separate ways  Facebook allowed us to maintain a distant connection and keep updated on life’s events. 

 My condolences to the entire Dixon family and hope the memories, laughs, and tears, and stories of his life lived ease the pain of his loss.  May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear about Scott! I went to jr high with him and he was the kindest person I knew . He had a love for swimming and was so proud of his letterman jacket . He has a smile that light up the room . Prayers to your family and may he rest in peace!

My deepest heartfelt sympathy to the entire Dixon family. Scott and I were just talking  over our love of the the poem Dash. I had lost my husband and he lost his dad so It truly breaks my heart bc my last words to Scotty was to live your dash to the fullest. RIP Scott. Im so glad we reconnected again. 

He noted that first came the date of birth

And spoke the following date with tears,

But he said what mattered most of all

Was the dash between those years

For that dash represents all the time

That they spent alive on earth.

And now only those who loved them

Know what that little line is worth

For it matters not, how much we own,

The cars...the house...the cash.

What matters is how we live and love

And how we spend our dash.
