Tracy and Family...So sorry and praying for you all...
Dear Mrs. Bangston,
My heart aches for Zach and you! I just found out about this or my family and I would've attended the showing and funeral. My son, Matthew McLendon, was coached by Scott and he was the BEST coach. I last spoke to him at a football game last season and we discussed back pain. My father passed from Diabetes and had four back surgeries at age 50. Both he and Scott passed way too soon.
I hope to see you soon. Here is our number, 501-314-9766, if we can be any help to Zach and you.
Sincerely,
Mark, Melissa, Matthew, and Nathan McLendon

My thoughts and prayers are for you during this very difficult time. I know your heart is heavy. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”

Tracey you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Lean on God and let His strength and love find you peace. Love you.
Coach Scott you will be missed by many, you are loved and your family is under Gods loving hand. I know you are holdin Derek's hand. Thanks for all the children and adults lives that you touched.
Tracey, Zack, and family, I was saddened to learn of Scott's passing. He was always friendly and smiling when he would stop by the office. I remember he brought me six big ducks one day after a successful hunt. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. May God Bless you.
Tracey and Zach: I'm so sorry for your loss. All I can think of is Derek, his dad and his grandfather setting up a ball league in Heaven and winning the Celestial Championship.
Scott was such a great guy. Hope his memory will keep both of you smiling always. Call if you need anything.
