Scott Andrew Gordon  

9-10-74 ~ - 8-31-2000

Our son Scott was born September 10,1974 and was diagnosed at age 5 with CS. He led a normal life up until he lost his hearing at age 22. At that time he lost his hearing and his eyes were getting cataracts in them. From then on it was down hill. What Scott left us is something that cant be measured. Not only did he give and receive unconditional love but he also had more patience than any person I know. He was an amazing man and passed away August 31 at age 25. He was onty 10 days shy of turning 26. The aftermath of his death is still felt today. Scott has 2 brothers who are very caring and understanding because of him. With Scott, every day was a learning experience and even today I still learn something new every day and for that I am thankful. I am also thankful that God chose us to be his parents and also his two brothers to be a big part of this family unit Since Scott has passed away, life has not been easy for us. It is a whole new life that we have to learn all over again. Something as simple as going for coffee or going for a walk without him feels really strange. We will carry on with our daily routine because that is what Scott would have wanted us to do. Scott's younger brother has returned to University and is doing very well with his studies. Scott's older brother is in the Military and is also doing well with his job just like Scott would have wanted them to do. So on that note I will close and hope that if someone would like to chat or email us, we would be more than willing to do that.
