Scott Matchett of
Jacksonville, FL passed away on August 8, 2012. Scott fought a courageous
battle against Huntington's disease for the last several years. He was 55
years old. He leaves behind 3 beautiful daughters and their mother, 3
grandsons (with 2 more on the way), his mother & stepfather, 3 brothers, 3
sisters in law, many cousins, nieces & nephews & 2 step brothers. Scott was
born in Jacksonville FL and graduated from Terry Parker High School in
1975. He excelled in all sports, particularly basketball. He was an
all-city basketball player in high school and continued his play with
athletic scholarships to FJC and Florida State University. He graduated
from FSU in 1979. Scott was a teacher with the Duval County School System
for 20 years. He was also a high school basketball coach. He was an avid
outdoorsman, but really loved to fish. If there was a body of water that
held largemouth bass he would say, Let's go wet a line. Scott was a loving
father & husband, a devoted son & brother and a loyal friend. Scott's true
treasures in his world were his precious daughters Caroline, Michael-ann
and Natalie. Scott will be missed by many, but he is back together again
with his dad, Donald Matchett, who he loved so much.
