Scott Songer Obituary

Scott,

I'm missing you today more than usual.

I know you are still around as I energetically feel your presence, guidance & love with me.

Much gratitude for the beautiful memories with both our families, unforgettable moments in life that left little on my .

I pray for Sydney often as I remember all you shared before & after spending time with your beautiful daughter, knowing she misses you greatly. I would love to go back to the time she spent the night here with us after we brought Nikki home.

I still love you, always

Scott,

Even though time has passed, you still have a very special place in my ❤ ...Nikki (our rescued Rottweiler we named after Sydney Nicole) is in heaven with you and I know she hasn't left Daddy's side...as usual!

Always,
Christine

Scott another year has passed without you here, I will forever miss you as everyone does. Much love, Terrylynn

Sydney, what a heartfelt letter to your dad. I think of Scott often. I was part of the attending staff that night at Roper. I never had the chance to meet you, but can tell you how much your dad loved you. I wish you all the best. It was so great to see the photos.

Sydney, that is so sweet. I still miss your daddio as well, I will tell you that everytime Scott and I talked, you always came up in the conversation, You Father adored you, Spoke all the time of you, I couldnt wait to meet you and when I did, everything he talked about was true. Soon we will all be able to see him again..... Every time I ride my bike , I feel as if he is right in front of me keeping the crazies at bay..... Love you girl...

I can tell you've been around me a lot lately so something brought me back here to write it down. Whether it's hearing your laugh when I see someone do something stupid or feeling your hand on my head when I wonder if I'm making you proud. There are so many things I wish I could still share with you and most of the time it takes a few moments to remind myself you're really gone. But you aren't really gone, are you? You're still there every time I play pool and someone asks "where did you learn to play like that??" Or when I hear the rumbling of a harley and turn off my music, roll down my window and close my eyes. You're still there smiling when I find all those little notes you secretly wrote behind picture frames or tucked away in my sketch books that I had no idea were there. (the one in the picture frame did make me laugh so thank you for that!)

There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and miss you. I'm still working away at learning as much as I can to help other people so they don't go through what we did, or if they do, to at least lessen the blow. I'm officially a 'therapist' now, so that's pretty fancy I guess. I specialize in overcoming grief, which sometimes seems ironic to me as I often feel I don't fully have a grasp on it myself but I like to think I'm learning.

I don't know if I ever told you how proud I was that you are my dad. I was always so in awe of you. How people loved you so much. One of the hardest parts of losing you was discovering how much of you I never got to know. I know that you're happy and whole now, so I try to not be sad for myself, but I have to tell you it breaks my heart when I meet new people and I tell them about you. It seems like such a shame to me that they will never be able to meet you. So I try my best to represent what being a part of you means. I try my best to be that light in the dark like you were to so many people but I have to tell you, you left me with some awful big shoes to fill (not that you didn't also leave me with big feet...).

I'm writing a novel here but I suppose it's been a long time coming. I think you would have liked it here in San Diego. It has great riding weather most of the time and plenty of pretty women and pool halls. Can't go wrong there!

Love you daddio,
Thanks for keeping an eye out for me.

Keep watching over Sydney as she makes her way through this life. Two years have passed, and losing you hasn't gotten any easier for her. Remind her of the gifts you gave her- help her find her inner "scottness" so she can pick herself up, dust herself off, & get on with it, just like her dad always did.

We all miss you, but you live on in our hearts, and in the bright light that is our daughter.

It seems like it was just yesterday you were showing me your new bike, and telling me what a deal you got on it! I miss you so much and would give anything just to be able to see and talk to you. It was tough this football season without you here, you wouldn't be to happy about our gamecocks they didn't far so well this year again! You are missed by so many people. You are never far from my thoughts and my friend you will always be in my heart! I take comfort in knowing that my Dad and my sister is in good company with you.

I still miss you baby .... one day I'll see you again until then, ditto!

It has been a year my friend since you left us, seems like yesterday. I think about you every time I ride and wish you were there. Ride on forever buddy.

Scott was a great friend and motorcycle riding partner.He always thought of others first and helped everyone.He once jogged a mile down road to help me out.Never will forget it.Miss him like a brother.

Just wanted to say hey Scott, my brothers and i will never forget you. We have diesel still and think of you often. He's a great dog, like you are a great man. I hear my mom talk to you at night sometimes....she says you are in a better place now so take care and put in a good word with the big man for us!

This is one of the hardest things ive ever had to write. I was deeply saddened when i was told about Scott. He was an amazing man and I was blessed to have him in my life. My deepest condolences sydney, your daddy loved you so much. His smile would light up the room everywhere he went and I will forever keep him in my heart. Thank you Scott for all the memories.............you will never be forgotten!!!

Scott was great person and a fierce friend. I am honored to have had the privilege of working with him. I will always remember our friendship and great times we had together.

I miss you so ....

Scott, as I was out today in the nice weather with the sun beating down I couldn't help but think of you and how you would have loved to be riding, time won't ever heal the pain of you not being here, I miss everything about you, I would give anything to have you here, you were my best friend Sweetie and I love and miss you so very much!!

Scott my friend, I sure do miss you and riding with you. I took up donations to keep this book on line forever. This is the start of many entries to come. We are planning a memorial bike ride in your honor. Will pass out vest patches in memory of you , also window decals.MISS you lots my friend

SCOTT, THANKS FOR GIVING ME SUCH A SWEET AND BEAUTIFUL GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER & NIECE SHE REALLY LOVED YOU AND MAMAW.WE WILL MISS YOU BOTH. PSALM 48:14 FOR THIS GOD IS OUR GOD FOR EVER AND EVER;HE WILL BE OUR GUIDE EVEN TO THE END

I met Scott when I worked for Bosch many years ago. He always was upbeat, and that smile....it was infectious. He was a breath of fresh air every day at work. I left Bosch in 1998, but our paths crossed again just last year. We have a Harley and have ridden on some rides with the Bosch clan. And, again I ran across Scott, still a handsome young man, and that wonderful personality! Thanks for your smile and upbeat look at life Scott. You left us to soon, my friend. Ride proud, ride free, Scott....

Tim and Family,

I was so sorry to hear about Scott's passing. I remember being at the Songer house growing up and laughing over the mischevious things he did. You're all in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry to hear of such a great loss to your family and to the World. My memories of Scott will be cherished for a lifetime, I will miss his awesome smile, the sound of his laughter, the excitement in his voice when his gamecocks won and when he got his new bike.,his tight bear hugs when we would say good bye, his voice on the other end of the phone and his text messages and so very much more. Sydney I want you to know when your Dad spoke of you his face would light up like X'ams tree lights with love and such pride. Your father was a man of honor and I'm so proud to say that he was a part of my life. As I write this I can still hear him say "Are you Kidding Me" followed with that great smile, and marvel over all the kind words his friends are writing, if I had one more time to see Scott or talk with him I would say I miss and love you and let him know that his friendship is priceless to me, but somewhere in all this pain and heartache of you not being here I know you knew that. When Scott left us all God got the BEST!!!

I met Scott a little over 4 years ago when I transferred to the Bosch in Charleston and we quickly became good friends. He will always hold a special place in my heart. For his family, my thoughts and prayers are with you in these hard times. But please find comfort in knowing that he had so many people in his life that he left an impression on that will last a lifetime. I know he did in mine!

Scott,

You will be truely missed. I always enjoyed meeting up with you for a beverage and a game of pool. God bless you and your family. We will miss you.

I was so sad to hear about Scotts passing..He was such a great person and always had a smile on his face.One thing for sure, he loved his little girl....I met Scott when I was about 17 years old and I dont think I have ever had a conversation with him where he didnt meantion something about his daughter and how proud he was of her.May God be with u all.

I will never forget the good times riding the bikes together...how happy he was for me when I got my bike...the excitement in showing off the new red spike-covered Harley for the first time...what a good friend he was to Mike & me.

My Baby ... You will forever be in my thoughts, forever in my mind and forever in my heart. I can close my eyes and still hear you breath next to me, I feel your heart under my cheek. What I wouldn't give just for 5 minutes ..... there are so many things I still need to say! For now Babe, DITTO!
Sydney, I never got to meet you but man did your daddy love you!! The gleam in his eyes whenever your name was said, or he shared your accomplishments. Whenever you need him, look up, he just a cloud away!

Scott,

You and I had a very special friendship. I will miss our conversations and all the advice you would give me. I know that you have touched my heart and so many others. You will truely be missed.

My deepest sympathies to the Songer family,

I’ve worked in maintenance with Scott for approx 5 years and can tell you he was thought of highly in our organization and in the Bosch community. He earned the respect, trust and friendship through the way he carried himself and the manor he interacted with others. Scott’s presence will be missed by all.

To the Songer family,
My deepest sympathies. Scott will be missed by family and friends.

Sydney, My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. You are your Dads pride and joy. He always spoke of you and I could see how he held himself up high as we talked. I am truely honored to call him my friend.

Scott will be missed by the many many people he touched. It is so very hard to believe that he has passed. Our prayers are with his family.

To the Songer family, I am so sorry that Scott's time has come to pass.
He will always be remembered.
Scott and I were in the same graduating class and we worked in the same department at Bosch.
Scott, you will always be remembered and greatly missed.

I will always remember Scott and the good times we had at Hattie's and Johnny's in the neighborhood. I thought the world of him and his brothers, and it was just a shock to hear of his passing away. My heart and prayers go out to all his family and friends. He will be sadly missed.
Love Dickey

Dear Sydney, Billy, Neal and Tim, I know I have already signed once, but I wanted to leave you this.
God's Promise
"This is the promise that He has promised to us..eternal life" 1 John 2:25
The promise of eternal life comes straight from God. Those who receive Jesus into their hearts [and I know Scott did], do not end their existence when they stop breathing. Scott's last breath on earth was merely a precursor of life in eternity with Jesus. Today, you miss Scott, the one you lost and your heart aches. But in eternity, you will be reunited and share the joys of death conquered by our Savior. Until you meet Scott again in Heaven, simply trust in His unfailing promise. God bless you, and God comfort you. Love Karan

To the family of Scott Songer: Even though I never worked with Scott he would never pass you by without saying hi or how are you doing, always with a smile. I was very sad when I heard of his passing, I will truly miss that smile and I know that many of his co-workers here at Bosch will never forget him. May God bless you all and may it helps to know that others care and share your loss.

We find it difficult to process this news as we remember all the fun we had with Scott at work. Our thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

Scotty Ellis....Just yesterday Brittany and Nikki ran to the door when they heard a motorcycle pass....they were at the door looking for Daddy. I had to explain that Daddy was now in heaven riding his bike. We named Macy perfectly (meaning gift from God) because now Sydney is going to keep your little girl and that makes me happy. I hope and pray that you finally learned to "breathe" like I showed you. It works, I promise. You touched my heart on many levels and I have so many wonderful memories from the past two years I will never forget. I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART, Christine

I was so sorry when I got the call telling me about the death of this exceptional guy.

I choose not to think about the fact that you died. I would rather remember that you lived, and that your life gave all of us wonderful memories.

To the Songer family, Scott will be missed at Bosch. He always had a smile that would make your day. Working with him was great.God will see you thur the days ahead.

Scott,

Thank you for the greatest gift- our daughter Sydney. For 21 years now she has been the most joyful blessing, and the most unique mark you leave on this earth. She has your hands and your toes and your glowing smile. She has your ability to laugh in the face of pain or adversity, and your stubborn streak too. You taught her how to be a crack shot when hunting and an impressive & surprise pool shark. Your personality & spirit shine through her everyday. I cannot imagine a day without her in my life, and I remain eternally grateful to you for giving Sydney to me.

I am so very sad that her time with you was cut short in this life, but we know that you will walk with her and play with her and guide her and protect her for the rest of her days here. She has the best guardian angel a girl could hope for now.

Ride with the wind, Scotty. Until we all meet again, I continue to send much love your way.

Our thoughts and payers to Scotts family. Scott was an amazing person with a gentle heart. Just to see him would put a smile on your face. He will be truly missed by all that knew him.

BILL, NEIL & TIM;
WE ARE ALL SO SORRY TO HERE ABOUT SCOTT DEATH. WE HAVE BEEN NEIGHBORS FOR YEARS PLUS MY CHILDREN WENT TO SCHOOL WITH ALL THE BOYS. WE WILL ALL MISS HIM SO MUCH IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO FOR ANY OF YOU BOYS PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL US ANYTIME DAY OR NIGHT.LOVE YOU ALL

My deepest sympathy to the whole Songer family. I am so sad about your and all our loss. For sure he was one of the few, that always was a shining star for anyone that crossed his way. I will always keep him in my memory as the kind, loving, Mr. Good-Mood co-worker, biker friend and friend and I hope that all the good memories will heal your sorrow in this difficult time.
kind regards,

My heartfelt condolences goes out to the family of Scott Songer. I pray that God's peace, which passes all understanding, brings strength and comfort to you all. Scott made me feel very welcomed after I started working at Bosch. His smile was contagious. May God's blessing be with everyone of you.

Iam so sorry for your loss. I went to high with Scott and Neal and always remember this world was a much better place with him in it. Now heaven has another Angel to watch over us all.

I'll always remenber all the great times we had hunting together. I will miss you.

Scott
Even though we worked on different shifts,the time we spent talking and messing with each other will be sorely missed.I'm just sorry I was not able to make more of the rides over the years. You will be missed

So now the journey is complete. Thank you for the times and until we meet again...

My condolences to the Songer family. As a co-worker Scott was a type of person you don't come across too often, always willing to help you do anything and with such a great attitude. He will be missed deeply by his Bosch family.

Scott was one of my best friends at Remount Road Elementary. He was a great person and some of my best memories growing up were at the Songer's house. We played half rubber or camped in Scott's backyard. His father was such a good man, he built us a fort in their backyard and we founded our own club called the CBI.Billy, Neal and Timmy, my heart goes out to you guys, I am crushed by this so I can only imagine your pain. God bless all of you.

I am very fortunate to have had Scott cross my path. It has been a true pleasure working and trading stories with him for the past twenty years. Rest peacfully Man. Our good memories of you will remain here with all you've touched.

Scott will be missed by so many. He is simply an amazing guy. His personality is one and a million. Will miss talking to him at work.

To the Songer family, our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grieving, just know that Scott touched many hearts during his time with us and he will be missed very much by his Bosch family as well as the many others he touched. His kindness and his smile will always be remembered! God Bless you all!

Scott will be missed. His family is in my prayers.

Scott, You have touch alot of hearts. I enjoyed all the time we have shared together and will never forget Just how good and kind of a man you were. Our Kick Stands are up for you. I know this is one man that will ride in peace. May God bless for family.

Neal, I am sorry to hear about your brother Scott I remember him in high school just like it was yesterday. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.

I was shocked to hear of Scott's death. I knew him to be someone to never have a bad word to say, always upbeat and cheerful. A genuine good guy, a great loss. You will be missed, Scott.

Scott will be missed by all he have come in contact w/at Bosch but we will never for get that smile he have for every body.

Is so hard to believe you are gone. Your personality and attitude will be missed more then one could ever know.May God Bless You.

Billy, I am sorry about the loss of Scott. I talked with him at Bosch when I was working there. We talked about you, Joe Claud, and your mom. My condolences.

It seems like only yeaterday we were in school together. Its numbing just trying to write this. I will miss you greatly my friend. Billy, Neal and Timmy. take the lords hand and he will guide you through this.

To the Songer family may God continue to bless you all. I came to know Scott in EV-6. One of the funniest and caring setups that I had. I will miss that smile and that big heart of his.

Scott you have always been someone who I have looked up to and admired all my life . Always with a positive attitude that uplifted everyone that you encountered in life ... I will truely miss you but will alway have fond memories of us growing up .. like you chasing me around uncle J.M 's yard picking me up over your head and throwing me in the pool .. the more i laughed the more you did it ..

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Scotty will be missed by all that knew and loved him.

Even though a lot of years have passed we still remember with fondness the times yourself & Billy visited during those frequent hunting trips. My heart felt condolences go out to the entire family.

Fond memories of playing together as kids.Scotty,Neal and Me. The 3 Musketeers. Lots of love Scotty

Scott, I am priveleged to have known you for all these years, You are the one who talked me into finally buying a motorcycle, and what a good decision that was. We had so many good times riding together. I am going to miss you and all the times we shared. Sydney if you need anything, please call me. I am at a loss for words, my heart is heavy, I still am having a hard time coming to terms with this. God will heal our hearts and see all of us through this most difficult time. God bless each and all of you.

Scott is going to be missed so much by so many. It won't be the same w/o him around. He always had a smile on his face and great attitude. I'm glad I had the chance to get to know him. He'll never be forgotten.

Scott was one of the most well liked guys at Bosch. I had the pleasure of working with him when I was first hired at Bosch back in 1995, in EV6, on 2nd Shift. Scott and I were in conjoining departments, working next to each other for approx 5 years. Scott was always willing to help someone, and always had a friendly smile when passing in the hallways. His death is a true tragedy and his presence will be greatly missed.

We are so sorry to hear about losses (Scott and his Mom).
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Fr. Donna, Rick Bolt, and the rest of the PPCP family

With broken hearts we make an entry in the book. But every moment spent thinking of Scott, the first image is that big smile and warm greeting. Whether at work, hunting, riding bikes or just visiting, we always enjoyed his company and considered him our dear friend. Our deepest sympathy goes to his family and may God be with you and comfort you.

Scott will be missed as a friend, a coworker, and a classmate.

May you watch over us with love from the heavens above. We love you very much and you'll be greatly missed.

I am so sorry for the loss of your brother, my sweet cousin! I just can't believe he is gone, esp. so close to your mom, aunt geve! I can't imagine the sorrow you guys are feeling right now. My heart & love is with you now & always!
Love you all,
Lynn

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

To the Songer family, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Scott from Remount Elementary. I will keep you in my prayers.

Bill I am so sorry to hear of your brothers death. I know your Dad is giving him the Grand Tour right now! Know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Pat

Just wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you guys. Praying God will give you peace that only He can give. Love Karan

I can't believe it! I'm so sorry Scott. May you rest in peace. I'll always remember those days cruising Rivers Avenue when were teens. I remember you always smiling. Freddy, Carl and I will always remember you and we will always remember how you were a great friend.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal. Scott left uncountable memories and touched many lives. My heartfelt condolences,
