Scott Michael Henry of Milford, Delaware, passed on January 18th at the age of 53. Born on July 15, 1970, in Wilmington, Delaware, Scott was the youngest of three children, and is survived by his son, Logan Ilir Henry, his daughter, Kallista Teuta Henry, and his former spouse and mother of his children, Lirija Lulgjuraj. Scott is also survived by his brother, Fred Henry, Jr., his sister, Cheryl Henry, his loving aunts Phyllis Whaley and Faye Clinefelter, and his cousin, Paige Eager. Scott is predeceased by his mother, Lois Clugston Henry and his father, Fred Henry.

Scott attended Stanton Middle School and McKean High School, graduated in 1988, then earned a Bachelor's in International Relations (1992) and a Master’s in History (2000) from University of Delaware along with a teaching certification. Scott's love of information translated to a career helping to shape materials that high school AP exams are based on, and then to knowledge preservation in higher education, working with esteemed professors to publish their scholarly life works. Scott's early career however began in teaching, and this is where he eventually found his most enduring professional home: teaching Social Studies, English, and Special Education at Seaford High School. Scott loved using innovative sources to engage and excite his students to form meaningful connection to the material he taught. Through these lessons, he also made meaningful connections with his students and colleagues, and will be deeply missed.

From a very early age, Scott was drawn to the martial arts, and continued this practice in various forms until his recent years. He also pursued the study of esoteric and arcane literature throughout history, and weaved this into his love of journalistic and creative writing. Scott was also proud of his connection with the Masonic Brotherhood, from early influence through his Uncle Clinefelter, to his own local lodge in membership Milford. Above all, Scott enjoyed sharing his pursuit of truth and beauty in life with his children, from their unique hobbies to shared interests in movies, strategy games, and a love of cats. His family misses him dearly, as do his friends. We are shocked and saddened, but we know one thing we take away from knowing Scott, and that is that he loved his kids very much.
