Scott Myers Obituary‍

February 11, 1955 - August 27, 2024

Scott Dalton Myers passed away on August 27, 2024, at Haven-Custead Hospice Care Center in Orange Park, Florida. Born to Selbert and Ruth Anne Dalton Myers in Roanoke, Virginia on February 11, 1955, Scott grew up in Campbell County, Virginia as the youngest of four siblings, including his twin brother Jeff and his sister Kathy and brother Blake.

From an early age Scott followed his own path. A graduate of Brookville High School (BHS 1973) where he lettered in football, basketball and track, he received an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point. He attended West Point along with his twin brother Jeff and older brother Blake (USMA 1975) and graduated with Jeff in 1978 with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering. Commissioned as an Air Defense Artillery Officer, Scott served in the U.S. Army for seven years, including tours of duty with the 2nd Infantry Division at Camp Billy Mosier, Seoul, South Korea, and the 7th Infantry Division at Fort Ord, California. Scott was honorably discharged at the rank of Captain in July 1985.

Following his military service, Scott joined semiconductor supplier Applied Materials in Santa Clara, California and was subsequently selected to open and manage their new manufacturing center in Austin, Texas. In 1997, Scott joined semiconductor manufacturer Entegris (formerly EMPAK, Inc.) in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

It was in Colorado Springs that Scott met and fell in love with Leslie Ann Castle. They were married on May 1, 1999, and while the marriage ended in divorce, it brought forth their dearly loved son Dalton in 2002. Scott grew very close to his father-in-law, John Castle, who introduced Scott to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As Scott's faith grew, he was baptized alongside his son, Dalton.

In 2001 Scott received his Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, and membership in the Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society. Later that year, Scott departed Entegris and joined Metso Minerals as a Global General Manager, working for extended periods of time in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Settling back in Colorado Springs, Scott founded his consulting business, Dynamic Improvement Solutions, offering strategic planning and operations management support for U.S. military and commercial business organizations in the Colorado Springs area.

An avid and talented sportsman throughout his life and a proud member of the Lockewood Lakers, Scott shared and passed on his love of sports to his son Dalton and encouraged Dalton's love of baseball. Scott served as a youth baseball and basketball coach and mentor in Colorado Springs for many years.

A proud member of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) and of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), Scott served as Commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans Colorado Division Camp 175 in Colorado Springs and as Lieutenant Commander of the SCV's Colorado Division.

An accomplished and published author, Scott researched, wrote and compiled three books; To Bear Witness to the Truth A Practical Guide to Witnessing for the Gospel of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Colorado's Confederate Legacy And Interesting Facts About the American "Civil War" in the West, and What the Bible Says About.

In July 2024 Scott was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, which led to his death. Scott's last words were, "I love you, too" to Dalton before passing peacefully in his sleep. He is survived by his son, Dalton Myers of Colorado Springs, CO; sister, Kathy Carson (Tom) of Lynchburg, Virginia; twin brother, Jeff Myers of Altavista, Virginia; brother, Blake Myers (Connie) of Burke, Virginia; nephew, Brett Carson (Sallie) of Lynchburg, Virginia; and niece, Beth Anne Marr (Jon) of Forest, Virginia.
