Scott loved his family and was always there when needed. He was always a phone call away and would be there to help with anything he could. He was loved dearly by his wife, in-laws and the entire Lopez family. He will be greatly missed.

He loved the outdoors, camping and fishing especially in Pecos Wilderness. He loved country music and was an amazing two-stepper. The Cowboys were his team. He loved watching football with the guys. He loved cooking and made the best French toast ever.

He and his daughter Jennifer started their days with “What are we doing today, Daddio.” And he would reply “Same thing we do every day, kiddo. Try to take over the world.”
