Dennis Scott, Punxsutawney, PA—Dennis Scott passed away yesterday, leaving his family and community in deep sorrow. Dennis had been battling chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for years and was recently placed on the lung transplant list. His condition worsened over time, leading to multiple emergency surgeries within a week. Despite his strength and determination, Dennis’s body could no longer endure the struggle.
Dennis’s son Jesse had been by his side throughout, even during the final moments when Dennis was moved to Pittsburgh hospital in hopes of receiving better treatment. His son shared his father’s fighting spirit, but unfortunately, Dennis’s health declined, and he passed away yesterday.
In the wake of his passing, Dennis’s family is working hard to fulfill his final wish for a proper funeral and burial. Due to his long battle with illness, Dennis was unable to set aside the necessary funds. His niece, Rebecca Shank, has organized a GoFundMe fundraiser to help cover the costs of his funeral.
People close to Dennis have shared their memories and condolences on Facebook, offering both emotional and financial support. Tonya Shank wrote, "My uncle Dennis Scott passed away unfortunately yesterday. He had very little money due to lack of income and a long battle with COPD. He wanted a funeral and to be buried, so we are trying to give him his wish." She also encouraged others to donate and send prayers to the family.
Others expressed their sympathies for the family as well:
- Kim Painter wrote, “I’m so sorry for your loss. He was a great guy. Always so friendly. Prayers for all your family.”
- Lori Snair Kuntz shared, “So sorry for your loss.”
- Carol Lindenpitz Wolfe added, “So sorry for your loss.”
- Lori Satryano also offered, “Sorry for your loss. Prayers.”
As of today, several donations have been made toward the funeral costs. Bree Maines, Dominick J Shank, Rebecca Shank, and Donna Scott have all contributed, and the family is hopeful that further support will come through to help fulfill Dennis’s final wish.
Our hearts and prayers go out to Dennis Scott’s family during this challenging time. May they find comfort in the memories they shared and in the support of the community.
