About Scott: Scott Godon-Decoteau died young, but he lived more during his 41 years than most people do in a lifetime.  Scott sought out new experiences. He pushed people to be their best and helped them get through tough situations.  Scott supported and inspired people to pursue their dreams.  He sought to make change in the face of injustice.  Scott somehow made the best of times better with his fun-loving attitude.  He even helped us get to know ourselves a little more.  #LIVELIKESCOTT #LOVELIKESCOTT #LLS2026
