Scott Ford, 54, of Pinewood, died Friday, April 27, 2012. He grew up in Beaumont on the corner of Calder and Pinchback in a two story white house on three acres. Scott was one of seven children born to Watt and Patricia Ford. He and his brothers enjoyed exploring and hunting on the property while perfecting their marksmanship skills. Scott learned the love of hunting and fishing from his father. He also enjoyed baseball, played little league and high school ball, later enjoyed cheering on nephews as they played ball. Scott was a Houston Astros fan.

He had many friends who enjoyed just being around him. Scott loved people and would do anything he could to help them. He was selfless.

Scott cared mostly for his family and loved God. He was hard working and spent twenty-five years at Beaumont Rice Mills and Jefferson County DD6 for two years. Scott enjoyed working outside where he could be active. One of his favorite places in the world was LaBelle; he loved to hunt and fish in the marsh with his friends Louis and Ben Broussard. He knew the marsh as well as any family member and had fond memories of the duck camp. Scott loved saltwater and freshwater fishing and was happiest when holding a prize catch.

He also loved his other prize catch, Lisa Ford; they were married for twenty-eight years and enjoyed many happy times together at their home in Pinewood, trips to Colorado and Texas Hill Country. His family was the most important thing to him. His sisters and brothers are all very close and relied on each other in good times and bad times. Scott adored his parents who taught him by example how to love. He was the man he was because of them. Scott will be missed by all who love him.
