Scott Courson

Scott (Scotty) A. Courson was a brother, a father, son, uncle, cousin, NAVY Veteran, Watch DOG volunteer and Computer Technician and Facilities Manager for CBRE-McKesson. Scott loved his home state of Colorado so much he returned after being stationed in Hawaii. Scott was the type of person who never met a stranger and offered a smile and assistance to anyone who asked. He loved his family and friends and had a passion for nature, fishing, movies, roller coasters, and cooking. Scott lost his father, Ron Courson to cancer on May 5. While Scott was smiling on the outside, we now know that he was struggling more than anyone realized. Due to his battle with alcoholism and depression, Scott was not able to see his son. On Father's Day, June 20, Scott was clearly struggling with these new realities. Scott's death by suicide is a tragedy that has impacted so many. Scott's legacy should be all of us reminding ourselves that there is no shame in asking for help. There is no shame is asking a friend or family for company. You are not your thoughts or your mistakes. You are loved. Be groovy to yourself and one another. It is what Scotty would have wanted. While the family recovers from the loss of both Ron and Scott we ask that you honor Scott by donating to two worthy causes. Veteran's PATH is a wonderful non-profit that supports veterans through mindfulness and resilience building. You can donate to them directly from this memorial page. Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence (Boulder, CO) is another incredible non-profit that we would like to raise funds for in memory of Scott. Please use the link below.
