Scott Allen Welch, 69, proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, October  31, 2020. 

 

Scott was known for his quick wit, stubborn ways, and steadfast loyalty.  He was a man to whom a handshake still meant more than any contract, and whose word was his bond.  Scott’s two favorite hobbies were shooting in IDPA matches and spending time with his niece, Annabelle.  He was a staunch supporter of Blood Assurance for over 30 years, most recently reaching 10 gallons of blood donated.
