Scott (April 17, 1973 – November 14, 2018)     My husband, Damon Aric Scott, was born in Denver, CO to Harry “Chuck” and Barb Scott on April 17, 1973. If you are lucky enough to know all three of them, you know that Damon was a perfect and equal combination of his parents. Throughout Damon’s life, the three shared a unique, beautiful, and unbreakable bond. At one time, they shared ownership in Scott Delivery Services, Inc., a furniture moving and delivery company. Damon became an expert furniture mover under the direction of his dad and could load a truck like packed sardines.

Damon became a certified luthier, learning to build and repair guitars, under the instruction of master luthier, Scott Baxendale. When he was offered an opportunity as a guitar tech for the Drive-By Truckers, he left Colorado for a new life in Athens, GA and on the road with the traveling rock band. During this time, Damon was able to see the world making it to 28 countries. He was popular among DBT fans known as the tall guy who tuned and cared for the band’s guitars, fired up the crowd between encores, protected the band, and even got to play with them from time to time. He took much pride in his job and loved being a member of the DBT family. It was during this time that we met.     In time, Damon and I transitioned our long-distance relationship to one that allowed us to spend our lives more together than apart. He moved to North Carolina where we enjoyed a full-time partnership. We were married in June of 2016. Damon became part of my family very quickly building a special relationship with my beloved late granddad, wh...
