James "Larry" Scott

August 7, 1949 - September 18, 2020

James “Larry” Scott was a man of God who fiercely loved his sweetheart wife, Lisa Ann. She was the twinkle in his eye and the brightest spark of his life for 27 years. He retired from the United States Army and was formerly in the Navy. His devotion to his country included 2 tours of Vietnam, 1 tour in Afghanistan, and over 26 years of loyal service. He lived and loved a simple life - full of genuine love, so much laughter, Alabama Football, Andy Griffith, all the cookies and butter pecan ice cream. He was a faithful member and served on the Dream Team at Church of the Highlands. The happiest of times was when he was with his Lisa Ann. Wherever she was, that’s where he wanted to be. His relationship with the Lord strengthened even while his earthly body weakened. One of the last things he spoke to his family was: “God is still great.” He was adored deeply by his wife, children & family. He will be incredibly missed, until we unite with him in Heaven. He is preceded in death by his parents Charles Sydney Scott and Ella Mae DeLoach. His legacy of deep love carries on to his four children, Justin Scott (Lauren), Summer Walden (Seth), Brian Scott, & Misty Fowler; several beautiful grandchildren, and his three brothers, Roger, Dennis, & Dean Scott. Funeral service will be on Wednesday, September 23, 2020 at 11:00 AM at Deerfoot Memorial Funeral Home. The family will receive friends from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Burial will be at 2:00 PM at Alabama National Cemetery in Montevallo, Alabama. Pastor Lester Robinson will be officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Lewy Body Dementia Association (LBDA.ORG).
