Scott Alexander Milton

17 year old Scott Milton, of St. Augustine, FL passed away Wednesday the 25th of July, 2012 during a traffic accident while riding his motorcycle home. According to Highway Patrol reports, he was wearing his helmet and showed remarkable skill when laying down the bike during the unavoidable accident at the intersection of SR 16 and International Golf Parkway. Scott was born October 31, 1994 in Tallahassee, FL. He was the eldest child of Frank James Milton III and Mindy Lynn Milton, and older brother to Lucy, Valarie and Joseph. Scott was a cherished grandson of Frank and Tracy Milton, Jack and Kathy Hopkins, Richard Whiting, and Elizabeth Whiting and great-grandson of Josephine Hopkins. Scott will be missed by countless friends, band mates, church leaders and extended family. He was gifted intellectually and musically, in the truest sense of the word. He expressed those gifts through playing guitar, bass, percussion instruments, piano, fiddle and any other instrument that intrigued him. He had an unrivaled love of learning; from watching every documentary available on Netflix to teaching himself to write in Cyrillic, he thrived when expanding his knowledge. A Memorial Service will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 5490 CR 210 W, St Augustine, FL 32084, on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 at 6:30pm, in the chapel. Immediately thereafter there will be a very casual gathering in the adjoining church cultural hall. In honor of Scott's eccentricity, the family has decided to wear tie dye to the memorial. We invite all who wish, to do the same. There will be a brief grave-side service the next morning, Wednesday, August 1, 2012 at 10am, at Oaklawn Cemetery, 4801 San Jose Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32207. In lieu of flowers, the Milton family requests that donations be made in Scott's name to Diamonds in the Rough Farm (www.drfarm.org). Scott's family extends their deepest gratitude to the many friends and family who have been of help and support through Scott's passing.
