“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2nd Timothy 4:7 Scott Saylor, age 46, of Gray, Tennessee, passed away on June 28, 2020, at his home, surrounded by family. Scott was born on July 6, 1973, in Johnson City, Tennessee. He is the son of Jeanne Keebler and the late Lee Saylor. Scott was a resident of Gray his whole life. He was a baptized member of Hales Chapel Christian Church. Since infancy and throughout his life, Scott battled numerous forms of cancer and other serious medical conditions. Though he was never in good health, he always took pride in hard work. During his life, even while undergoing cancer treatments, he worked at Walmart, Levi Straus, a printing company, and for over 15 years at Lowe’s. Throughout it all, Scott never gave up and remained strong and positive. Scott was hard-working, generous, and tough as nails. He loved his pet schnauzers, working on electronics, traveling, music, and spending time with friends and family. He was a wonderful, loving, and devoted son, brother, and friend. He was preceded in death by his father Lee Saylor, his maternal grandparents James and Mary Sue Keebler, and his paternal grandparents Vernon and Pearl Saylor. He is survived by his mother, Jeanne Keebler, his brother, Jeffrey Saylor (Suzanne), his aunts Judy Wheelock (Eddie) and Rose Ann Fleenor (Jackie), and his cousins, nieces, and nephew.
