There is no way to sum up my feelings for Scott in words. His being made me realize how good life could be and what was really important. I often think about the times I continued to do my own thing, loosing contact with those I loved, and the ones that made such an impact on my life. Scott was the embodiment of the pure essence of life, that some would consider naive, but in reality, pure truth and courage. I cannot make up for the time that I lost with Scott, but I believe he will manifest in all my times of truth and happiness, for that is was what he was, and that is what he gave to me. I am sorry for all the times I was not the friend you were to me. I love you and will keep in you in my heart always.

Joe "Cricket" CoreyWe love you and miss you. Your light shines in your beautiful children. Watch down on us all.
Mom and DadHi, my name is Jessica and I just happened across your site when I was researching wolf parkinsons white syndrome because my 16 year old sister was just diagnosed with the disorder. It sounds like your brother was an amazing person and I am truly sorry. Your website is really awesome, thanks.
Jessica GdisisHi, My cousin was just diagnosed with WPW and I ran across your site as I researched the disease. This is a wonderful memorial site and a way to bring awareness to others.
Karol CabbinessWe are so very sorry of your loss of Scott. We too have lost our son, Jon C. King, age 32 to WPW. We awoke on April 25, 2006 to find Jon unconscious in bed and tried in vain to save him. We called 911. His heart was still beating. They took forever to answer the call, and even longer (55 minutes) to get here. We live one mile away the hospital and wish we had not waited for the ambulance but had taken him ourselves to the emergency room. Jon was our only child and lived with us. He was about 24 years old when he experienced his first rapid heart beat after working out at the local gym. Like Scott, Jon was very active, loved life, the outdoors, hunting, fishing and music. He loved life. Jon had the ablation surgery, however it was not successful and he experience about 5 rapid heartbeat episodes over about 8 years, each time having to go into the emergency room for shock treatment. He was perfectly healthy otherwise. We laid Jon to rest on April 28, 2006. We know your pain in missing Scott. You have encouraged us by honoring Scott with this memorial, we want to do the same with Jon. Thank you for helping us at this sad time by sharing your love for Scott.
James KingPam,Jerry & family, This site is wonderful. My prayers continue with you and your family. You are truly one of my closest friends and your strenght gives me strength. Love ya, Barbara
Barbara WillkieI am sorry for your loss. I was diagnosed with this syndrome about three years ago.I had the ablation treatment and all seemed well but just recently have had a few attackes. I am 35 years old and a father of four and your site has made me think that i have got a lot to lose as i was not going to go back to see the doctors and just put up with it.Makes me seem like a fool.Well this fool has had a shake up and i will get this soughted out.Many thanks for the site.
Col GillilandI rode up to the Sierras last week and looked off into the distance and thought of Scott. The times I spent with him were some of the best of my life. We would put ourselves in harms way and not even think about the consequences, soaking wet, dirty, greasy, lost. Now I think about my life and know he lived the best of it. He lived it uncompromising yet always willing to yield. Miss you, you are still with me in the places of beauty.

CricketCricket, I am so happy to read your entry. Thank you for remembering. We remember everyday. Thank you for sharing his laughter, and joy for living.
Scott's MomScott was one of the coolest friends I ever had growing up. He was in my boy scout troop and was one of my best friends in my teen years. I just googled his name tonite to find him. I will miss him forever and all of my heart goes out to his family. I will remember him always. He knew the real me before I grew up and was all grown up and 35. Camping and hanging out, the things we did in boy scout will always be the coolest memories of growing up
Christian StoutI was Scott's Scoutmaster with Troop 336 in Santee, California in the late 80's and early 90's. I remember a young man who was intensely curious about life and eager to learn. He was not only quick to accept any challenge, he went looking for new ones. He took on big waves and big mountains and conquered them all. He was a young man who feared nothing and no man. We visited a couple of times after he went north to Humboldt State and then, sadly, we lost touch. Sometimes the teacher becomes the student and the old learn from the young. I am wiser and my life is richer for having known Scott. I miss you my friend. I'll see you on the high mountain passes.
Jim ThomasWow! I never knew that Scott had passed away! I worked with him at Mataguay Scout Reservation. He was an awesome guy! What really freaks me out is that I also have WPW and have had the ablation twice. I am truly sorry to hear of the loss of Scott. He was an awesome Scout, Staffer and friend. Being on staff at Mataguay meant you were all members of a quasi-family for numerous weeks. Some of us a half hour from home, some hours from home but while we were there, we made MSR home. Scott, my friend, was also my brother and he will always be part of my fond memories of working at MSR.
