Mr. Scott was educated in the public schools of Allendale County, South Carolina.  He was employed by Eudy Wholesale and Cornell Arms Drug Store, where he retired.

Mr. Scott was a devoted husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend. Reflecting over his life, we saw the many valued and meaningful roles that he played in everyone’s life.  First and foremost, we saw a God fearing family man with a big heart. He loved the Lord, his family and everyone who knew him knew his love for the Gamecocks.  There was nothing he wouldn’t do for his family and friends. He was the happiest when he was surrounded around his family and friends.  His dedication to his family was the foundation of his actions and the anchor that defined and shaped his life.There was never a dull moment when he was around.  He led by example and was a role model and an inspiration to many people.

Louis was a faithful member of Second Nazareth Baptist Church.

In addition to his wife and parents, Louis was preceded in death by his three brothers, David Scott, Herbert Scott, and Capus Scott, Jr.; one sister, Jerry Lee Scott Garvin; son-in-law, Gene Alfred Utsey; and adopted grandson, Cory Jenkins.
