He was born March 20, 1994 in Peoria, Illinois to Charles and K. Renee (Burns) Horaney.
Scott is survived by his loving parents, Chuck (Lisa) Horaney of North Fort Myers, Florida, and Renee Horaney of Morton, his brother, Brett Horaney of Morton; and his maternal grandparents, Robert and Mary Helen Burns of Morton. He is also survived by several aunts, uncles, and many cousins.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Richard and Lorene Horaney.
Scott graduated from Morton High School in 2012, then moved to New Jersey for four years. He returned to central Illinois in 2018 and spent the last seven years employed as a driver for FedEx in Morton. He was known for his open heart, quick wit, and ability to make everyone feel welcomed and appreciated. He brought joy and laughter to all who knew him, forming special friendships that lasted throughout his life.
A passionate music lover, Scott enjoyed his vinyl record collection, along with attending live concerts, including seeing Dead & Company twice in the same weekend. He was affectionately known as "Mr. PBR" and cherished by many friends, always ready for new adventures.
A devoted Chicago sports fan, Scott celebrated the Chicago Cubs' 2016 World Series by traveling home from New Jersey to watch the games with family and attending the championship parade in Chicago. As a child, he shared special memories with his father at Chicago Bears training camps, where he charmed the players, especially Tony Parrish.
His mother cherishes memories of their quality time together - from little league games, Bradley Men's Basketball games, dinners at Buffalo Wild Wings watching games on TV, and watching movies together.
Scott's love for his cats was admired by all.
Cremation has been accorded by Preston-Hanley Funeral Homes & Crematory in Pekin. A celebration of Scott's life is being planned for a later date.
Memorial contributions may be given to the Humane Society of Fulton County, 22988 IL-9, Canton, Illinois 61520.
