• I am so sad to hear of Clint's passing. He was one of a kind. A truly special person inside and out. He had such a good soul and a big heart. I first met Clint in Kenora back in 2008. We were on a camping trip and a friend of ours brought him along. I found him loud and annoying that trip but once I got to know him I loved his personality and we became good friends. I wish I would have made more of an effort to stay in contact with him as the last time I spoke with him was in June after a disagreement we had. I always knew Clint had so much potential and I always wished things would be better for him. Rest in peace sweet Clint, I miss you. - Posted by: Corinne (Friend) on: Jan 27, 2022

• I first met Clint in September 1997 in Lake Louise. He offered me a bottle of bud in the staff pub, then took it back off me when he’d finished his. From that day till I returned to the UK we were inseparable. 24 years later we were still friends - the best of friends. He was mischief, but I loved it. He always put a smile on my face. I just wish, when I spoke to him in November, I’d of known it would have been the last. Until we meet again my angel in the sky xxx - Posted by: Rebekah thomas (Friend ) on: Jan 14, 2022

• I am truly sorry to hear of Clint's passing. I remember him as a 'rough and tumble' young boy with the cutest dimples! My heartfelt sympathy is extended to the Scotts and each of their families, as well as Summer. - Posted by: Cindy Drysdale (Family Acquaintance) on: Jan 05, 2022

• Tears keep flowing thinking about dear, dear Clint. I first met him in the tractor tire sandbox playing with my son Tim. I am not sure that they could even talk, but they hit it off right from the start. He was wearing blue shorts and was as cute as can be. He was such a good friend for Tim and they could get into their share of "fun" I remember one Canada Day he came for a visit but he left a bottle of Kahlua and Kathy Hodgson, Josh's kindergarten teacher and I proceeded to"toast Clint for a few hours. When he came back he just good naturedly laughed at us. I have fond memories of Clint in Penticton where I was holidaying with Tim and family and there was Clint!! He was pushing a baby stroller and introduced us to this sweet little baby girl. He was so, so proud and handled her like he was an old pro with his little trophy! For a few years at the consignment stores, Clint was our handy and handsome man. Clint could fix just about anything and he took great pride in getting a job well done. He learned all about store fixtures, slatwall, mannequins, marketing, and sales. The ladies loved him!! He was very charming and had a natural sales ability. He was quite the manly type of guy, but, he never hesitated putting fabulous looks together He had an innate gift of colour and design. We had lots of laughs with him, but what was most surprising was how protective he was of me and of the store. We had a store in Charleswood and Clint completely renovated it!! Instead of just wearing a t-shirt and runners, he started wearing a "label" sportscoat and dress shoes when the store was open. Clint had it all. Good-looking, charming, strong, loyal and hard working. My heart is so broken that he never knew just how special he was. I am sending money in your name dear Clint to the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre. I thank God for you in my life and in my Tim's life. - Posted by: Allyson Linklater (Friend," ) on: Dec 30, 2021

• My deepest, most heartfelt condolences for Clint and the entire Scott family and Summer. My heart breaks for them.  We lost a great one and I am truly going to miss my oldest friend and first-ever "best" friend.    One of my first ever memories was actually with Clint. Both of us were placed in the "quiet center" at pre-school by Mrs. Hart. We were probably 3 or 4 years old and little did we know that would be the first of a few more trips to the dingy old furnace room aka the "Quiet Center"- which eventually transitioned into Mrs. Mollard's Principal's Office as we got older- and we went on to become quite good acquaintances with every Principal (Wild Bill, Bernie!) afterward in both Stony and SCI. But the #1 reason Clint ended up in the office, which I am not sure everyone understood was that he was trying to make people around him laugh. He just liked fun and liked to make others laugh- no matter what the cost.    Clint truly loved to laugh though and had no boundaries when it came to trying to make others laugh too. Everyone who crossed paths with Clint has a funny story or memory of him but that was no accident. He had such a great sense of humor and would do and say things other people wouldn't think of saying. He was truly one of a kind and one of the funniest people I ever knew.      The other thing about Clint was his competitiveness and what a great athlete he was. He was the Picher on our baseball team that was coached by his Dad and a great hockey player too. But his competitiveness wouldn't stop there and we competed at anything and everything: from chugging glasses of milk (and later, beers) to skipping rocks to racing to random finish lines while walking through Stony- anything and everything became a competition. He simply loved to compete.  I have too many stories of Clint but I thought these few would give a different look that not everyone saw of Clint.  Clint and I remained great friends our whole lives and I know Clint had his struggles later and life was rough for him in more recent years and he seemed to pull away from people but it only seemed because he was hurting.  In hindsight, I truly wish I knew just how much he was hurting and I wish I could have done something more to help him. It will remain a huge regret of mine.  Clint was often misunderstood by many but for the ones he allowed in, they got to know a truly fun and awesome guy. I loved Clint like a brother and I am really going to miss my old friend. He has left us way too soon. I am gonna miss you Clint. - Posted by: Tim Linklater (Friend) on: Dec 28, 2021

• Sorry to hear about Clint. My condolences to the family. Hugs and Prayers. - Posted by: Susan Chiarellia (Lightfoot) (Kevin Lightfoot's mom) on: Dec 27, 2021

• I am extremely saddened to learn of Clint's passing. Many memories were made at the house on Olive Street. I was truly blessed to be able to grow up with The Scott kids. Clint's smile could light up the darkest room. He used to tag along with Tarra and I a lot. He would get us angry with him for being a pest. All he would have to do is smile, show his dimples and all would be forgotten. Clint your heart was huge, I cherish the time we spent being kids in Stony. Times were simpler then. Rest Easy my friend. - Posted by: Laurie Drysdale-Campbell (Family Friend ) on: Dec 27, 2021

• Sending condolences to you all during this difficult time. I remember Clint as a young, fun little kid who was always energetic and full of life at Stony Mountain Elementary. We had older brothers as friends and Clinton was always riding his bike around town exploring and playing with such a youthful and fun spirit. May you find comfort in reflective memories. - Posted by: Tania Taylor (Bell) (Stony mountain Residence ) on: Dec 27, 2021

• I am so sorry to hear about Clint’s passing, used to cut his hair many times and we would often have nice conversations, One of the last times I talk to Clint he talks about his daughter and how he would like to have a good relationship with her. I hope she ended up doing that. - Posted by: Georgia Skarpias (Hair stylist ) on: Dec 24, 2021

• I grew up knowing Clint and worked with him in later years…he was definitely a caring and kind man. He was the only hitchhiker I've ever picked up on my way from Stony Mountain to Winnipeg. My family wasn’t too happy when I told them I picked up a hitchhiker…until I told them it was Clint. Rest easy man…say hi to Dancin Don. - Posted by: Sarah Schatz (Linklater) (Friend) on: Dec 24, 2021

• There are no words to express the deep sadness I feel for your family. Clint was funny, bright and a smart ass, who loved to joke around. We had been friends since we were 13 or 14 and kept in contact throughout the years, until a few years ago. My heart is absolutely broken. My most sincere condolences to you. - Posted by: Kristie Allen (Friend ) on: Dec 24, 2021
