Scott Thompson Obituary

Scott and I attended high school together in Weiser. He was a wonderful friend to everyone! He had a knack for making you feel like you were the most important person on earth, and he was genuine. We lost touch after he graduated and just recently reconnected. I was so happy to hear from him again! It was wonderful to see him so happy and continuing to spread happiness and love throughout his comments, much like he did when I knew him as a teenager.
Rest in eternal peace, sweet Scott. You were truly a blessing to all who knew you and who were fortunate enough to call you friend.

I'm so sad to learn of Scott's passing. He has been a dear friend of my heart and soul. We just connected and I cared for him deeply. We didn't hang out, but whenever I saw him he always had a hug for me. Rest Peacefully buddy and I will see you again one day. Much love!! Cindy

There are some beautiful things being said about Scott here. I sincerely hope he knew just how much he meant to so many. I had the pleasure of knowing Scott through some of his trials and victories for a number of years. It's so sad that he passed right in the middle of an amazing transformation. He was truly blossoming as a loving, caring, sharing human being. I was really looking forward to witnessing his continued growth. So very sad. My condolences to all who will be missing him.

Scott and I were childhood friends and we graduated together from Weiser High School in 1988. I remember him always smiling and just always laughing. Scott was a cheerleader and he loved it. Scott was always joking around and he always called me Mingay. I was like really? Then we laughed. You will be missed and loved remembering those cherished moments and memories. Rest in peace and paradise Scott. Love you always and forever!!!! Oh yeah he called me Mighty Mouse to lol. You were not just a good all around guy, but an amazing friend.

I worked with Scott many years at Allstate and then WNS. We were friends outside of work as well. We would meet up at the farmers market and eat crepes and shop together. He loved the veggies from Bowman Organic Farms. We shared war stories about Disney World, Greece, the Kentucky Derby and many other places and cultural events. He was a dear friend to me and my children. They loved him so much that they thought of him as their uncle and gave him a family discount every time he came to KFC. He will be dearly missed.

Scott had a heart of gold for as long as I´ve known him. He was a friend to everyone from when we were little and through our life. I have so many fond memories of Scott. I remember all the times he came to school when we were young and say " I brought you a surprise" and giving a group of us girls everything from candy to lip gloss. I´m high school he was the best mascot to ever be seen. I loved watching what your next rock would look like, what type of food you were making next or what cool adventure you just went on. Thank you Scott for showing me and so many what it means to be a kind and loving person. Thank you for all the memories. You will be missed. God Bless you.

I met Scott while we worked together at Allstate in Pocatello. He made work fun! When we were in training, he would order Red Lobster cheddar biscuits for our whole training class to enjoy during our end of shift meetings. Such a kind, funny, witty, caring man!

We are the owners of the Pocatello Grocery Outlet. We came to know Scott by the rocks he would secretly leave around our store. For the longest time, we would find painted rocks throughout our store. Our staff looked forward to each week, wondering what rocks we would find. My wife always posted them on Facebook to show the community the acts of kindness someone was leaving at our store. Over time, we suspected who this talented artist was, but we never spoke to Scott or let on we knew it was him. We wanted to be surprised and we wanted Scott to continue to feel the warmth and joy he had for leaving them. Our entire Grocery Outlet family is heartbroken for the loss of this talented, thoughtful, and giving individual. To this day, we have every rock Scott had left us and his story will be one we continue to share with others. We will miss his visits and we will miss his rocks. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends!

My favorite memory of Scott was when we were in high school and he was our mascot, a wolverine, wearing a costume. He always had so much fun making other people smile.

Scott made me smile every time I was with him. He brought more light into my life in the short 15 months I knew him than anyone else ever has. I was a loner, didn't get out much and we happened to meet on a dating site. We conversed for the longest time, then started having movie nights at my apartment once a week.

He loved movie theater popcorn so for our first movie night we went to the Reel Theater to get popcorn to go, we took it back to my place and had a nice evening watching Nope. One of the many films I kept Scott supplied with and he enjoyed, with the newest Flash movie being a favorite (he watched that 25 times).

I had never thought much about getting out to do things, Scott changed all that. We started taking cooking classes at ISU which he absolutely loved to do and was even looking forward to the classes coming up. We went to a number of plays at the local theaters as well as in Blackfoot. Most recently we went to see Holiday Inn and I hadn't seen him laugh and enjoy himself so much since I've known him. We went to concerts, haunted houses, and of course shopping. He loved to go to Grocery Outlet every Saturday since they opened, they have a drawing to win what you saved and he was thrilled when he won a $46 gift card.

We went to the farmers market just about every Saturday, I showed him all the items for sale that were freeze dried, wasn't long before I had a machine and I made sure to bring him a bag or jar of everything I made in it. The Granny Smith apples were his favorite.

He was always doing things to make me happy as well, we drove to Perry Utah on my birthday to go to Maddox restaurant, then to buy up a bunch of peaches to freeze dry (he wasn't too fond of those).

He was such a wonderful man who truly enjoyed doing for others. He started painting rocks to hide for others to find, he placed a bunch on the shelves at Grocery Outlet and got a kick out of their Facebook posts of the rocks and how much they enjoyed finding them. Most recent was his creating candles and ornaments for his friends and family, he was always thinking of others and it shows what a great and kind person he really was.

Lately he started talking about taking a trip to Six Flags to ride the roller coasters. I didn't know it until chatting with Cory after he passed but Scott had always had a thing with them and I'm incredibly saddened that we didn't get the chance to go. He also wanted to take a cruise to Alaska and ride the train from one end of Canada to the other. Scott knew how to live life and make it fun not only for himself but for others that he touched. He gave me a reason to get up each morning and to push on when things were getting me down. For that I thank you Scott, you are going to be tremendously missed and even though ours was just a friendship, I love you and I always will.
