Scott Van Ness Strong

Scott Strong lived his life in daily service and surrender to his King. He was richly blessed with love, compassion, joy, and the gift of music. Each day he awoke to a song in his heart by which he shared the love of Christ with those ever near to him. He lived a life of true worship and unconditional love; his joy was made complete in the knowledge and salvation of Christ. His final words to the family were “Love each other, take care of each other and forgive each other". He leaves behind a legacy of love that will richly dwell in the hearts of all he had the privilege of sharing his life with.

Scott is lovingly remembered by his wife, Tricia of 32 years; his three daughters, Harmony Vuycankiat and husband Technical Sergeant Eric, Melody Harrell and husband Chris, and Hannah Musette Strong; his grandchildren Donovan, Seth, and Grace Vuycankiat. He will also be missed by his mother Helynn Byers and her husband Tom and by his sister Tracey Kuhn and husband Ken. He was preceded in death by his father Andrew P. Strong.

The family will receive friends on Wednesday, March 16th from 6:00 – 9:00 pm, at Mitchell Funeral Home, 7209 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh. A Celebration of Scott’s Life will be held at 1:00 pm, on Thursday afternoon, at Providence Baptist Church, 6339 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh.
