So sorry for your loss. I have never met Scooby but my son Ryan Horton said he was one of his best friends. Ryan describes Scooby as a great friend with a big heart and if you was lucky enough to be his friend, you have a brother. Someone who cares about you like you are family. Sounds like everyone lost a amazing man.
Prayers for the family.
