George Wayne Scott

George "Wayne" Scott, born on March 18, 1952, left this earth on December 29th at the age of 68.

Wayne was a Tennessee native that loved his beautiful state. He was a proud member of the Carpenters Local Union 74 where he made lifelong friends. If he wasn’t building something, you would most likely find him outdoors enjoying nature. A hunter and fisherman that recently got his "deer of a lifetime". A history buff that could rival the Smithsonian on knowledge. His love of the local Native American culture and history was a lifelong passion. He was always planning his next adventure to explore the country that he loved so much. In recent years, he and his brother John visited several National Parks including Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain National Park and Glacier National Park. He was the middle child of five. The Scott family can best be described as close knit and filled with love and respect. He was an incredible father and grandfather. His girls will never be able to fill the void that the passing of such an amazing man has created. He was their rock.

To know Wayne was to love him. The world was a better place because he was in it.

He was preceded in death by his cherished father and mother: Roy Edwin Scott and Una Womac Scott.

He is survived by his siblings: Anne Scott Fisher, Roy (Mary) Scott, John Scott and Joyce (Jim) Scott Allen; Nieces: Jennifer (Jacob) Grammer and Jordan (Buddy) Scott Suttles; Nephews: Chris (Jeannie) Fisher, Tim (Shan) Fisher, Daniel (Misty) Allen and JT (Katie) Allen.

He left behind his two beloved daughters: Lynnsey Scott Appelhans and Andrea (Roger) Holliday; grandchildren: Collins Appelhans, Hayden Appelhans, Jocelyn Holliday and Amelia Holliday that brought him great joy.

There will be formal services.
