Frank Dunlap
1994, Griffith-Merrillville Airport, East Main Street, Griffith, IN, USA
We were out at the mall, which was fairly typical for us there were two record stores, Anyway, I think we just picked up "far beyond driven" and were driving back to his place. All the way we were behind a "slow" car, not a lot of patience back then and we were listening to Pantera. There was a Camaro in front of us, then the slow car. We made the turn onto main and the Camaro passed the car, so we followed suit, next thing the Camaro was going 75 and we were going an easy 70. Well County police tended to wait at the airport there. Long story short, car impounded and Scott and Frank walking to Scott's house to get his car. Scott asked the cop if he would give us a ride and the cop said "sure, county jailhouse ok?" We walked. No cell phones back then so, we were lucky that we ran into Louis Olar's dad on Arbogast who gave us a ride the rest of the way. Griffith was such a small / big town.
My heart goes out to his family and friends. Scott was a kind soul. When we went to school together he would always talk to me, even when others weren't. We lost contact throughout the years, but reconnected on Facebook. Gone to soon, but will never be forgotten. Fly high Scott
I am just so sorry. I had met Scott only a few times as the partner of my niece Tracey. They were a wonderful couple together, and I immediately loved Scott. I still can't believe he's gone.
My sincerest condolences. Scott was a wonderful guy and always made my family smile. He will be missed beyond measure.
I'm a longtime friend of the Merrimans from FCCL. My heart is heavy with sadness for Tracey and his family's loss. My deepest sympathies for everyone. In Christian love, Kathy Lackey
Scott.. One hell of a great guy!! I have known Scott since junior high... Some of many memories i have of Scott is that we talked on the phone for 3 hours one night! Obviously we talked about everything!! Hanging out in Franks garage, the rink and you teasing me about my crush on Tom Caroc... Omg.. we had fun... And while life took our lives in different directions we remained friends... Our moms were both sick at the same time, and like Scott I too was taking care of my mom... When Scott's mom passed we had some good talks and I hope I was able to be the ear he needed.. I know his Mom is hugging him tight, n he will be jammin' with all the great musicians.. Scott you are missed by so many.. I hope you knew how loved you are... until we meet again... I'll see ya on the flip side... Love ya much my friend 💔
Unfortunately, I never got to know Scott all that well. We were Facebook friends and we had some overlapping tastes in music and movies but for whatever reason, our paths never really crossed. Years ago, I and some other friends trekked out to Crete to see him perform with his band Redhook and I remember him being really cool. From the outside looking in, it seemed like he maybe had a pretty hard life at times but it also seemed like he was a really great guy with a big heart. I am sorry I never got to know him better but I am heartened that he was able to find Jesus before he passed on. I think all of us down here can rest a little easier knowing that he was able to find that narrow door!
One time as a young teenager, we were hanging out at his house. I can't really remember for sure what he was doing, but maybe changing a bulb and stood on a case of Pepsi. Needless to say it didn't hold, and it busted open and cans flew everywhere with him landing on a few...lol His Mom yelling from the other room,"what the heck was that!" Scott scrambling grabbing cans, yelled I'm putting Pepsi away! We still joked about that to this day!

I’ve known Scott since elementary school. He and I both came from Hessville to Griffith. He was good to talk to and I enjoyed seeing him perform with his bands. He had some real struggles that he was strong enough to overcome and then keep those things in the rear view. I was proud of him for coming that far and finding some kind of true happiness. Though we didn’t agree on everything, we did agree that disagreement is acceptable. I and so many others will have an empty space where he was part of our lives. Some very big, others smaller but no less tragic. I’m sad to lose you, friend.
