Scott had attended the Orrick School District and also Winnetonka High School, Kansas City, Mo. He had received his GED from Job Corps. Scott enjoyed playing video games, movies and comic books. He was an avid reader and also loved to collect “The Simpsons” memorabilia. Scott loved all kinds of music and had always had a great sense of humor.

He is also survived by his brother, James Lemmons, and nephew, Adam Lemmons, both of Orrick, Mo.

Condolences

You all have our deepest sympathy at this time. Scott spent many hours at our home in Orrick playing with our children. We lived behind you all on Front St. during the late 1980’s. May you have the peace and comfort of God to help each of you during your grieving period. I pray you have only good memories to comfort you.
God Bless Each of You! Bill, Terri, Dustyn, Jordyn and Gabryn Hazel
