Our fun loving and one of a kind Dad, Eugene Scott, passed away at age 69 on Thursday, April 8,2021 at his home on Winterberry Road in Sumter. He was born November 25, 1951 to the late Henry and Tessie Scott and grew up in Sumter County where he graduated from Edmunds High School. He was preceded in death by his parents; three sisters, Eloise Lee of Biloxi, MS, Mae Nell Ingram and Emma Todd both of Sumter, SC; and a brother, Michael Scott of Sumter, SC. Dad loved to work on cars and was a great mechanic. He especially loved older American muscle cars and often watched the Mecum auto auction on TV. He had a passion for old westerns and his favorites included Gunsmoke, Bonanza, and Walker Texas Ranger. His love of Elvis Presley led to an interest in martial arts and in his younger years, he held a black belt in karate. He loved music and had a great singing voice and will be fondly remembered anytime Elvis or Kenny Rogers plays on the radio. He leaves behind his daughter, Vanessa Lynn McLeod and husband, Joey; his son, Russell Scott and fiancé, Christie Hooks; his beloved grandchildren, Matthew McLeod and wife, Sabrina, Gracelyn McLeod, Kimberly Scott, Russell Scott Jr, Alexander MccLoud, Cierra MccLoud, and Christian Scott; his sister, Louise Geddings; and numerous nephews, nieces, other family, and friends.
