About Scott
Scott Godon-Decoteau died young, but he lived more during his 41 years than most people do in a lifetime. Scott sought out new experiences. He pushed people to be their best and helped them get through tough situations. He supported and inspired people to pursue their dreams. He sought to make change in the face of injustice. Scott somehow made the best of times better with his fun-loving attitude. He even helped us get to know ourselves a little more. #LIVELIKESCOTT #LOVELIKESCOTT #LLS2026
Community Impact
Scott's loved ones created a donor advised fund through the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts. All proceeds from the event will be used through the fund to continue Scott's positive reach.
