Sorry to hear this news...
This is a very sad event to hear about. Accidental deaths are never easy to comprehend when they occur. My deepest regards to his family. As always,
death is not extiguishing the light, but putting out the lamp, because the dawn has come.

In Loving Memory of Scott Thomas Anderson
Scott Thomas Anderson was tragically taken from us on May 30, 2007 in Abbotsford, BC. He was 39. Scott was born in Ashcroft, BC on October 13, 1967. He resided with his family in Clinton until 1973, when they moved to Kamloops, where Scott spent many hours at Sagebrush Downs sharing the same love for the racehorses as his dad did. Wherever you saw Tom, Scott was close behind. After graduating from Kam High in 1984, Scott worked at the Heffley and Rayleigh Stores. With encouragement from family he moved to Spruce Grove, Alberta to pursue a career in Sheet Metal and became a proud member of their union. In 1989 he decided to make his home in the lower mainland and chose Abbotsford where he resided until his passing. Scott worked in the Sheet Metal trade for a number of years, then hired on as a security guard for a short time, and had recently returned to his former trade and was employed by Mercury Metals. Scott loved to play pool, and met many friends through it. He was involved in a local pool league that saw him win numerous prizes and even a trip to Las Vegas. Whenever Scott was in town he liked to show his sharp-shooting skills to his nieces and nephews and always challenged them to a game or two, which he took great pride in winning. He also enjoyed playing cards, watching classic movies and rarely missed the horse races at Sagebrush Downs when he was in town. Scott led a very healthy lifestyle; he loved to cook and was always passing along the latest Tofu recipes to unsuspecting family members. He was a very caring and compassionate man and he truly loved spending time with all of his family, they were very important to him.
Scott is survived by his parents, Tom and Irene Anderson; his four sisters Louise (Kurt) Kier; Lynn (Doug) Palmer; Lonnie (Bruce) Rolph and Shelly (Ted) Johnson; as well as his nine nieces and nephews who all had such special meaning to him. Casey, Josh, Jamie, Stacie, Krista, Kara, Tyler, Tanis and Ryan, as well as nine great nieces and nephews, Aunts, Uncles and cousins and his very special friend Erin.
A celebration of Scott's life will be held at the Glenfair Hall, 1100 Glenfair Drive, on June 10th, 2007 between 1:00 and 4:00 P.M.
The family wishes that any expressions of sympathy take the form of donations to MADD, Suite 101-455 East Columbia St., New Westminster, BC, V3L 3X6 or on-line at www.madd.ca

Josh......thank you so much, in this difficult time of mourning for you and your family, for taking the time to share a little bit more about Scott with us. I can tell you, that for those of us who were lucky enough to know him, it is greatly appreciated.
Recently, Scott had befriended several of us 'Yanks' here in the States, and all I can say is that to know him was to instantly love him. He was just such a super person, and made all that met him, smile.....well, except for when he was beating the living daylights out of us on the pool table!
But even then....you just couldn't help yourself but to just be really endeared to the guy.
Thank you again so very much for sharing a bit of Scott with us......he will be very, very sorely missed. And my deepest sympathies to you, and all of Scott's family, at this time of his passing. He was taken much, much too soon.
Sincerely,
Lisa Adams

Josh, thanks for taking the time to register and post about Scott's life. I spent a couple evenings shooting pool with him and we sat together and talked. He had an easy way about him and we were worthy adversaries for each other on the pool table. We enjoyed it when each made a great shot and we commiserated when neither of us won the break pot.
I remember the last time I saw him in the wee hours and I was concerned for him driving back to CN and he said he had gotten a room locally, so no worries, and I drove on to Seattle where I stayed with my daughter.
We gave each other a big hug and couldn't wait to shoot again with each other before we walked to our respective cars. I wish I had known then that it would be the last time I would ever see him. His death has hit me hard and I know it is just a small measure of grief compared to what his loved ones are going through.
I will keep you all in my prayers and just know that Scott was loved by many here in AZB land.

After reading this thread I have come to realize what an extended family is all about. After being here for several years, I have felt like I have lost my best friend several times. I didn't know this young man personally but feel like I just lost a brother. May he rest in peace and my heart felt sympathy goes out to his family members and friends. Az is a great place to have an extended family as shown by these posts.
