Obituary For Scott Allen Patterson Scott Patterson, age 56, of Dallas, Texas, passed away on September 28, 2025. He was born on May 2, 1969, in Dallas, where he spent his life under wide open skies, surrounded by animals, music and the spirit of the West. Scott was a man born a hundred years too late — he belonged on horseback, riding across the plains on a cattle drive. A true and loyal Texan from the soles of his boots to the top of his cap, he lived with grit, heart, and unwavering pride in his roots. After marrying his high school sweetheart from North Garland High School, Scott proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy, where he discovered his passion working on jets aboard the USS Carl Vincent. He later settled in Rowlett, Texas, where he built a successful career in construction and eventually launched his own business. Scott had a deep love for animals, rescuing and raising countless companions over the years. He found joy in watching westerns and living by the code of loyalty and honor they portrayed. “I’ll be your Huckleberry” was more than a quote — it was a reflection of his steadfast heart and generous spirit. In keeping with Scott’s wishes, a private ceremony was held. Memorial contributions may be made to any animal shelter in his honor.
