Scott is survived by his sister, Tammy Lancaster, his nephew and Godson Christopher Forest Easey, his great nephew Miller John Easey, cousins Lee and Kim Brown and cousins Nancy, Josie and Michael Mousseau who were raised like brothers and sisters to Scott. He is predeceased by his parents David Lancaster and Lynda Payette, his grandfather, Leading Seaman (Retired) R.C.N.V.R. Jean-Yves (John) Payette and his dear Grandmother Grace Payette (nee Hansen).

Scott took great pride in having served his Country as an Infantry Officer with the Governor General’s Foot Guards. He showcased Canada for countless during the Ceremonial Changing of the Guard Ceremony on Parliament Hill. His service spanned from 1988 to 2005 where he met so many friends who he had kept in touch with within the Guards family to this day.
