A prayer for Scott. You are in eternity now dear brother there is no more waiting to know. May all the blessings in this prayer be yours! We will never forget you.
O my God! O my God! Verily, thy servant, humble before the majesty of Thy divine supremacy, lowly at the door of Thy oneness, hath believed in Thee and in Thy verses, hath testified to Thy word, hath been enkindled with the fire of Thy love, hath been immersed in the depths of the ocean of Thy knowledge, hath been attracted by Thy breezes, hath relied upon his supplications to Thee, and hath been assured of Thy pardon and forgiveness. He hath abandoned this mortal life and hath flown to the kingdom of immortality, yearning for the favor of meeting Thee.
O Lord, glorify his station, shelter him under the pavilion of Thy supreme mercy, cause him to enter Thy glorious paradise, and perpetuate his existence in Thine exalted rose garden, that he may plunge into the sea of light in the world of mysteries.
Verily, Thou art the Generous, the Powerful, the Forgiver and the Bestower.
- 'Abdu'l-Bahá

32. O SON OF THE SUPREME!
I have made death a messenger of joy to thee. Wherefore dost thou grieve? I made the light to shed on thee its splendor. Why dost thou veil thyself therefrom?
33. O SON OF SPIRIT!
With the joyful tidings of light I hail thee: rejoice! To the court of holiness I summon thee; abide therein that thou mayest live in peace for evermore.
(Baha'u'llah, The Arabic Hidden Words)

I remember the first time I saw you Scott at John and Geta's home, you were two weeks old. I immediately felt a connection with you. Years later you came to live with my wife and I and we studied very deeply many spiritual topics together often having long talks into the night. You always wanted to know what was beyond this life, being affected as you were losing your father and grandfather at a young age, now you knows. My prayers are with you Scott I feel your heart in eternity and your soul is now in God's Great Sea Light and Bliss. I can not think of anyone I will miss more than you in this life, but I know that I will see you again, perhaps in a dream when you are settled in on the other side. We have but to think of him strongly before we sleep to be in his presence in our dreams. Much love my dear friend. I miss you so much.

Dear Darlene and Family,
It was the day before yesterday that the Kortmeyers lived at the "end" of Dales Ford Road in their nice little house in the timber. Scott and Laura went to school together at Monticello and enjoyed that time together. Scott helped me put a metal roof on a small building, and we had a good chance to talk while we worked together He had that wonderful glowing personality that caught your attention whenever he was near. All of us who knew him will miss him. Deepest sympathies to you all. Truely, his time with us was too short. George.

All of our thoughts are with you. You are remembered as always a smiling friend.
Full of life even in your passing. The moments we all remember are as fresh as the day we lived them.
Our paths may not have crossed as much as we wanted but when they did, they were special moments.
Our love to your family who remains behind.
Please watch over each of us and guide us down the safest path.
Gone but never forgotten.

I had known Jon for many years as a friend and a coworker. Jon was a gentle and loving soul, and always willing to help another human being in need. Jon will be greatly missed. My condolences to Darlene and the rest of the family.

Scott and I were neighbors in Dallas. His apartment was directly under mine. We became good friends, sharing many great conversations and going places together. Scott had a brilliant mind, a generous spirit, and a loving heart. I will miss the many phones calls we shared after he moved back to Iowa, some of which lasted for hours. I will end this with how we always ended those phone calls: Peace, Brother.

I worked with Jon at the Community Mental Health Center. He was always fun to talk to and extremely helpful to coworkers. He always helped out to take tasks off of other staff that were stressed or overwhelmed. He was also a great addition to our team in the perspective that he could bring to our clients. I have more than one memory of Jon going above and beyond what was necessary (or even allowed ;)) to make sure a client was okay. Definite loss and thoughts and condolences to his family.

I became good friends with Scott when he lived in Mt Vernon. He was a kind soul and I was always drawn to his smile and spirit. We had lost touch over the last several years, but I have many fond memories of adventures and laughs we shared together. Thoughts and love to his family, he is missed.
