Jim was born October 10, 1938 in Timpson, Texas to Lizzie and Leroy Scott. Being raised on a farm, Jim learned at an early age to grow and nurture vegetables, especially tomatoes. Until his passing, he raised a beautiful garden and proudly shared his fresh vegetables with family, friends, and admirers who would frequently stop by. 
Jim is a graduate of Timpson High School, Panola Junior College and Stephen F. Austin State University. Shortly after graduation, he entered the Air Force in November 1961. He was stationed at Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth, Texas where he met the love of his life, Sharon. They were married January 26, 1968. 
Jim & Sharon settled in Lake Jackson, where he worked at DOW for 30 years until his retirement in 1996. They have three children and seven grandchildren, and he enjoyed spending precious time with each of them. Jim was a loving father and grandfather who loved to fish and hunt. He spent countless weekends in the Texas Hill Country deer hunting with family and friends. He was a faithful member of First Baptist Church of Clute for 50 years where he enjoyed being an usher and taking care of the church grounds. He had a passion for taking care of others and his selfless nature will never be forgotten. 
Jim is preceded in death by his parents, three brothers Edward Scott and wife Elizabeth, Benny Mack Scott and wife Doris Faye, Bob Scott and wife Mary; Sister Oleta Weber; and brother-in-law Dallas Burgay.
