William Duane "Billy" Scott, age 53, of Orlando, passed away on Saturday, March 24, 2018. A lifelong resident of Orlando he was the son of John Bogue Scott, Jr, and
Bonnie Sue Hackworth Scott. He graduated from Maynard Evans High School in Orlando (Class of 1982). After high school he married his childhood sweetheart Cindy Huth, but they divorced some time after his accident.
Billy worked for the Operating Engineers, and later
at Fred's Crane Service. It was while working there, that he fell and broke his
back, which left him a paraplegic and having to use a wheelchair the
rest of his life. Billy was always a very good mechanic, and loved his Harley
Davidson Motorcycles, as well as his cars. He would help anyone he could with fixing their cars
or motorcycles. His mechanical aptitude dates back to when he was in
high school where he had a Camaro, and then he built his 4 wheel drive
pick-up both were his pride and joy.
His first Harley he got was after he was in a wheelchair, it came home and was a true basket case,
as that is how he brought it home.
He built it to where he could hand crank the motor and then proceeded with help of his dad to engineer
the shifter to be able to ride it.
He won several awards for his bikes over the years.
Billy was preceded in death by both of his parents, a nephew Andrew Lee Scott, and step-father James Edward King. Billy leaves to cherish his memory, brother Michael Scott (Lynn
Waters-Scott) of Liberty, IL of Liberty, IL, Brother John B. Scott,
III (Sandy Scott) of West Branch, MI, a step-mother Debra Scott of
Orlando, FL, and a nephew Jonathan Scott of Liberty, IL. , along with other
relatives and friends.

Ride on Billy, your now free from that broken body you had and now can live on in eternity without the pain and struggles of that wheelchair. You beat the odds having survived for 31 years in that chair. Now enjoy the wind in your hair until we see each other again up there in the heavans. Watch down on Jonathan, and all your friends and help them when you can. One of these days we will be reunited! Give our love to all our relatives already there. God gave me two of the greatest brothers a person could have had, now I am one brother less! Rest pain free and in peace.
Love Ya, Brother!
I miss you already and with your words of wisdom uncle Billy and will always keep you in my mind and will always remember you and dad keeping me on the straight and narrow to what my future has shown what is best for me to do more than what is best for me and becoming a mechanic mymyself and much moremore!!! And missing you and Andrew and much more!!!
May God give your family strength during this celebration of your life. You were always my 2nd protector in high school. Go ride high on that mountain your work on earth is done. Hug your momma real tight from me.
Love,
Teresa
It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love; and when it happens , the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold your love one can be most difficult to bear. That pain is not necessarily erased by being told that your love one is up in heaven. The bible, holds a out a much different hope. At Job 14:14,15, it says that the God of comfort Jehovah, yearns to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them alive on earth. I really hope this thought brings family and friends comfort.
Some of my fondest childhood memories are of the time we spent in Orlando and even though we lost touch you were never far from my thoughts and forever in my heart dear cousin. I send my deepest condolences and continued prayers for peace and comfort to the family and friends.
I am sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. I hope the family will find some comfort and strength in Jesus promise of the earthly resurrection(Acts 24:15)and the renewed Paradise earth, where death will be no more and no family will mourn the death of a loved one.-Revelation 21:3,4;John 5:28,29;Luke 23:43. may GOD(Psalms 83:18)grant you peace and comfort now, during this grievous time.-Matthew 5:4.
Billy, It was a good service at your house. I am sure that you were happy that all of the people that you were always there for in times of need & were always around when you needed them were there! We will see you on the other side my friend & neighbor!
