NEUFELD, Scott

NEUFELD

It is with broken hearts and profound sadness that we announce the tragic passing of our beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend, SCOTT ROBERT NEUFELD, on June 19, 2019 at the age of 22 years.

Scott was born on February 17, 1997 to Robert and Margaret Neufeld in Kelowna, BC. Two years later, Scott became a big brother when Ryan joined the family. There could not be two parents more proud and full of love for their boys. This was evident in Scott, as he put his whole heart into everything he did. The tight knit family of four spent countless hours together on family vacations, creating memories with many adventurous activities and often driving great distances to see family and friends. The family time with the Lethbridge Sea Cadet Corp impacted Scott, who was known as a good leader, willing to help others with anything they needed.

Scott was funny, extremely sarcastic and very loud in surprising moments. His stomping footsteps resounded unintentionally throughout the house. He loved hanging out with friends, driving his cars and eating A LOT of pizza. Scott was well known for his spontaneity and boisterous behavior in how he cared for others and how he found unique ways to connect with them. Whether it was surprising a friend with a night out, randomly knocking on his brother’s door and bugging him to wrestle, or surprising his mom with his loving hugs, Scott made the effort to be there for others. Scott was an amazing young man with unrivalled focus, stubbornness, drive and determination. We love you immensely and will miss you without measure.

Scott left an immense hole in the hearts of so many who grieve this great loss: his parents, Rob and Margaret Neufeld, brother Ryan Neufeld, grandparents Ed and Vera Woodruff of Lethbridge, Isobel (Cliff – deceased) Schuler of Lethbridge, Ken and Sheila Johnson of Kelowna, BC, and Ed and Florence Neufeld of Borden, SK. The list of Scott’s aunts, uncles and cousins from all over Canada is vast, and so is their grief. Scott left a lasting connection and impression on so many friends who are already finding ways to memorialize him.

A Visitation will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME – 2800 Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge, AB. on Monday, June 24, 2019 from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M.

A Celebration of Scott’s Life will be held at the ROCKY MOUNTAIN TURF CLUB (3rd floor) – 3401 Parkside Dr. S., Lethbridge, AB. on Tuesday, June 25, 2019 at 2:00 P.M. with Pat Siedlecki officiating. A gathering and light lunch will follow.
