Ken Scott died peacefully at home on February 13, 2019 after a four-month fight with cancer. He was 64 years old.

Preceded in death by his father James T. Scott, Jr., mother Edythe Mae Scott (Crossett), mother-in-law Naomi Weissfeld, fathers-in-law Donald Cheatwood and Howard Weissfeld, Ken is survived and lovingly remembered by wife Janice, daughter Alison (& husband Patrick) Williamson, son Daniel (& wife Rosane) Scott, mother-in-law Pamela Cheatwood, sister Nikki Ferrato, brother Mike Scott (& wife Sue Livio), brothers-in-law Don and Ron Cheatwood, step-siblings Steve Weissfeld, Tracey Lechner, Craig Weissfeld, Steve Condos and Amy Wyse, grandchildren Dylan & Jack Villegas and Devin Williamson, and many nieces and nephews.

Born in Manchester, NH on June 4, 1954, he moved to Akron, Ohio with his parents in 1957. In Ohio he met and married the love of his life, Janice, in 1977. Together they cheerfully raised their children for the past 41 years, moving to Charleston (WV), Philadelphia, Springfield (Va.), and Orlando as Ken plied his craft as a jewelry salesman and manager. Ever fair-minded, Ken impressed with the quiet dignity and decency he lived his life — and the respect he offered to all.

His quick wit and easy laugh put strangers and loved ones alike at ease. Above all, Ken treasured the time and laughs he shared with family and friends — especially with his grandsons — whether it be playing golf, a game of Euchre, or simply chatting around the dinner table.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made in his memory to the American Cancer Society. A memorial service will conducted at the Stow (Ohio) Cemetery at a later date.
