Personal note from The Rifenbark family

Scotty Rifenbark: the man, the son, the husband, the father, the brother, the uncle, the football coach, the computer engineer, the technical-writing pioneer, the Belizean restaurant owner, the undiscovered comic illustrator, the unconditional friend, the patient teacher, the eager student of life, the endlessly humble role-model, and the best damn guitar player in the world wide. Sometimes there's a man. Sometimes, there's a man. That man is Scott Rifenbark. His body passed away on January 29th, but he will be with us forever in so many ways. Scotty's Celebration of Life will be held at the Downtown Roseburg Elk's Lodge on February 29th, 2020. We will share music, stories, memories, food, drinks, and good vibes in his name. Rock on Scotty, we'll do the same for you.

We can't express how thankful we are for your love and support during Scott's battle with cancer and after his passing. Thank you with all of our hearts.
