<p><em>Scott Dalton Myers</em> was born to Selbert and Ruth Anne Dalton Myers in Roanoke, VA on February 11, 1955. Scott grew up in Campbell County, Virgina as the youngest of four siblings, including his twin brother Jeff, sister Kathy, and brother Blake.</p>
<p>From an early age, Scott followed his own path. He graduated from Brookville High School, where he excelled in basketball, football, track, and band. Through his drive and strong work ethic, Scott received an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point. He attended West Point alongside his twin brother, Jeff, and older brother, Blake, graduating in 1978 with a Bachelor of Science in engineering. While at West Point, Scott earned the rare title “Double Century Man” for walking 200 hours as punishment, demonstrating his healthy distaste for authority and intense determination. Despite this, he played rugby and 150-lb football and was commissioned as a second lieutenant.</p>
<p>Scott served in the U.S. Army for seven years with the 2nd Infantry Division in Seoul, South Korea, the 7th Infantry Division at Fort Ord, CA, and duty at the Pentagon. He graduated from the Infantry Officer Advanced Course and was offered attendance at the prestigious Naval Post-Graduate School but chose to pursue a civilian career, receiving his honorable discharge as a captain in July 1985.</p>
<p>Scott joined Applied Materials in Santa Clara, CA, managing semiconductor manufacturing operations. During his time in California, he enjoyed surfing and dancing on the weekends and completed the Big Sur International Marathon in 1987—without stopping. His managerial success led to opening a new operation in Austin, TX, where his love of music and playful distaste for the Dallas Cowboys grew. In 1997, he joined Entegris in Colorado Springs, CO, managing warehousing and inventory operations for semiconductor manufacturing solutions.</p>
<p>It was in Colorado Springs where Scott met and fell in love with Leslie Castle. They married May 1, 1999, and while the marriage ended in divorce it brought forth their dearly loved son, Dalton Stone Myers, in 2002.</p>
<p>While at Entegris, Scott earned his Master of Business Administration from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs in 2001, joining the Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society. He later joined Metso Minerals as global general manager, working in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he fondly recalled bungee jumping over Victoria Falls, attending a Cricket World Championship, and going on safari with Leslie and Dalton. Returning to Colorado Springs, he started Dynamic Improvement Solutions, providing strategic planning and operations management expertise to military and commercial organizations.</p>
<p>Scott then grew close to his father-in-law, John Castle, who introduced him to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Scott and his son, Dalton, were later baptized together.</p>
<p>An avid sportsman throughout his life, Scott shared his love of sports and adventure with Dalton. He encouraged Dalton to play whatever he enjoyed and frequently took Dalton and friends to events across Colorado, including county fairs, mini golf outings, and ice sculpting festivals, never letting his boy have a dull weekend. Scott instilled his strong work ethic in Dalton, which later earned him a degree in engineering physics in three years (something Scott joyfully shared with everyone).</p>
<p>Scott was a proud member of the Sons of the American Revolution and Sons of Confederate Veterans, serving as commander of Colorado Division Camp 175. In 2010, he managed a project registering 425 Confederate veterans’ graves in Colorado and updating 71 entries, vehemently defending his heritage and providing headstones for unmarked graves.</p>
<p>After moving back home to Lynchburg, VA, Scott’s life changed course. On Easter Sunday 2019, Scott was overcome with God’s love and was born again. He boasted that even though he was saved at 64, God let him live long enough to be saved. Realizing his earthly purposes were to ensure Dalton was saved, show others the love of Christ, and help others witness to Christ, Scott developed a passion for writing.</p>
<p>Scott became a published author, writing and compiling three books: To Bear Witness to the Truth–A Practical Guide to Witnessing for the Gospel of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2020), Colorado’s Confederate Legacy–And Interesting Facts About the American ‘Civil War’ in the West (2023), and What the Bible Says About… (2024). Other than his relationships with the Lord and Dalton, he felt his first and third books were the greatest accomplishments of his life.</p>
<p>Scott loved working at the local food pantry and attending the Monument Terrace Troop Rally weekly, nearly becoming an esteemed member of the “curmudgeon’s corner” with fellow veterans. He shared these experiences with Dalton, continuing to set the example of helping others and honoring our troops.</p>
<p>Upon Dalton’s college graduation, Scott moved to Kingsland, GA to be together as Dalton started his career. They spent Scott’s last months together, sharing his love of cinema by watching classic movies and reminiscing on the wonderful life God gave him. Despite declining health, Scott was grateful and watched his son grow closer to God.</p>
<p>In July 2024, Scott was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, which led to his death. His last words were, “I love you, too” to his son before passing peacefully in his sleep. He is survived by his son, Dalton; twin brother, Jeff; sister, Kathy; and brother Blake. Backed by his research, Scott now sleeps deeply until true believers are brought to the resurrection of life, for “Death is swallowed up in victory” (<em>1 Corinthians 15:54</em>).</p>
