Help Cover Jay Scott's Funeral Costs

Donation protected
Our loved one, Jay Scott, passed away recently. Born December 8th, 74. Passed August 13th, 24. (He has joined his sister, even on her birthday)

His body suddenly failed him after a struggle with liver problems. He ended up on support for almost a week, he was pronounced brain dead a few days in, so we knew, he was gone. The lovely doctors and nurses did everything they could. Our family was up there and witnessed the amazing job they all did. Not a day went by without family by his side, and the constant hard work from staff. They then had to run tests on some organs to see if they could be gifted to another life. That took a couple of days. After the good news that could've come out of this, it did. His heart was able to be donated, amongst some other things. The day came for his honor walk, he officially passed away to Willie Nelson's song, "Angel flying too close to the ground" with His sister (Jodi) & His mother (Judi) holding his hand as they performed the donation surgery.

We're proud to have said he decided to be an organ donor! His beautiful heart and some other helpful gifts have made their way to someone else now.

My grandmother (Judi Scott) & My aunt (Jodi Airhart/Scott) had to unfortunately plan their son/brother's funeral. The costs have added up to $8500. He did not have any life insurance, or savings. We would highly appreciate any help. If you would like to donate. This will all go towards the services to the family. We appreciate the love, the help and any donations made.
