Brent Alan Scott, 64, died at home on September 15, 2014, after a long battle with ALS. He was born in Union, South Carolina, on October 30, 1949, the youngest of three children of Doctor James Albert and Nettie Lewis Scott.   He married Lawton Webber in 1972 and together they raised a son in the Atlanta, Georgia and Tulsa, Oklahoma areas. In addition to his wife, Brent is survived by his son, Brent Wesley Scott, wife Catie, and granddaughter Ella of Atlanta, Georgia; a sister, Sherry Scott Arrington and husband William of Midland, Georgia; and a brother, Terry Lewis Scott and wife Elizabeth of Roanoke, Virginia.

After growing up in Jonesville, South Carolina, Brent graduated valedictorian from Pacolet High School and finished the Georgia Institute of Technology with a degree in Industrial Engineering. He pledged Kappa Sigma Fraternity while at Georgia Tech and valued many friendships originating there until his death. Upon graduation in 1972, a long career in cathodic protection services and corrosion control evolved in Tulsa and Atlanta. His work efforts culminated with the launch of his corrosion control company, Scott Corrosion Services, Inc., in 2005. He maintained membership in NACE, the National Association of Corrosion Engineers, for over forty years. Outside of work, he enjoyed performing various projects around the house, repairing anything he possibly could find needing repair, and refining his lawn to a pristine condition. Above all, he was a devoted family man.

Even though they made their home in the Atlanta area, Brent and his family spent a significant amount of time in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Saluda, North Carolina, where he and Lawton kept a mountain home. His days in Saluda centered around family gatherings and lovingly maintaining their log cabin.
