Obituary for Scott Stoughton
Fort Edward
Scott Stoughton, 59, passed away on Sunday, August 4, 2019, at his home.
Born on August 11, 1959 in Glens Falls, he was the son of the late Harold Stoughton Jr. and Gloria (Humphries) Stoughton.
Scott graduated from Fort Edward High School. He received his associate's degree from Adirondack Community College in Criminal Justice. For many years he worked for Washington County Alternative Sentencing Bureau as a Community Service Coordinator. Scott also enjoyed his odd job working for Ringling Brothers Circus.
On December 31, 1998 he married the love of his life, Denais Etu. Together they raised their family and shared their lives for over fifteen years until her passing in May of 2014.
Scott enjoyed gardening and going to Grateful Dead shows. He attended 279 shows before the passing of Jerry and over 30 shows following his death. He loved to help people learn from their mistakes just as he learned from his. For many years Scott volunteered his time in service to the community he loved dearly. He served on the Fort Edward Board of Education for 6 years, he was involved in committees such as Let’s Involve Fort Edward (LIFE), youth court, and one of his favorites, The Washington County Republican Committee. He spent many years coaching softball, basketball, and played an active role in whatever sport his children chose to enjoy. He was also very supportive of his daughters extra curricular activities, such as Gabrielle’s tae kwon doe and all of Shea’s various academic and musical exploits. As many would say he was one of the top supporters of the arts in the small community.
His love of his favorite sports teams was well known among his family & friends. Go Red Sox & Vikings!
In addition to his parents and wife, Scott was predeceased by his brother, Harold Stoughton III; his sister-in-law, Shirley Stoughton; his mother-in-law, Jean Dixon, and his beloved dog Leo.
Left to cherish his memory include his three children, Jill Scanlan and her husband, Anthony, Shea Stoughton (William Behan) and Gabrielle Stoughton; his grandchildren, Quincy, Gianna and Shae; his brother, Mark Stoughton and his wife, Patty; his sister, Nancy Cutler and her husband, Tim; his sister-in-law, Rebecca Daniels; brother-in-law, John Etu and his wife, Tracy; his father-in-law, William Etu; his step-daughters, Tricia and Carla; his second family, The Curtis’; and many nieces, nephews and cousins, as well as many beloved friends. Scott especially loved the time spent with his family and friends.
At Scott’s request there will be no calling hours.
