Bubba, you will forever live in my heart, we have so many memories, that I will always cherish! We know that to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord, and that makes me smile, because I know, that Kelly Joseph Scott Sr., Is Resting, In The Arms of the Lord! His Troubles Are Over! As your Daddy would say, To God Be The Glory! I love you, Aunt Caroline, Clisby, & Christian!

I can't believe that the last time I saw you would be the last time I saw you. My heart hurts cousin. I'm truly going to miss you. I Love You. Rene Johnson 😭

With deepest sympathy

Very sorry to hear of Kelly's passing. I played baseball with him growing up, and he was always one of the best athletes on his teams. He was also very intelligent: He had a biology degree from LSU and ran competitively for State office. But more importantly, he was a very kind and a good human being. And I was lucky to know him. Rest in peace, my friend. ---Jeffrey Sandoz
