He loved riding his motorcycle, collecting and shooting guns, travelling and spending time with the love of his life, his kids and his grand-kids, sipping the occasional glass of Whiskey, and even having the rare cigar with his son and brother.

The Scully family wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Evolution Power Tools for their support and amazing generosity, and to the nurses and staff at Harbor House Hospice and MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Keri and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have prayed to our kind and loving Heavenly Father, Jehovah, to help you all through this hard time. God cares about you. Jesus promised in John 5:28, 29 to resurrect back to life all those in the graves and that some of these would gain everlasting life. It is possible, then, that you might see your husband and father again. But where? Revelation 21:1-4 tells of a completely new world where God will dwell with man and will do away with death, tears, pain and sorrow. Here is where those resurrected will live with their families. All of you could arrange to be there, too. To find out more about this please go to jw.org. I hope this helps a little. Steve
My deepest sympathy to the Scully family. My heart goes out to you. When going through the loss of my father, a scripture that brought me comfort is Isaiah 41:10. There God implores us not to be anxious because he is with us and gives the loving assurance “I will really hold on to you with my right hand.” May the God of all comfort be with you at ths difficult time. ( 2 Cor. 1:3,4 )
Prayers and sympathy for all of the Scully family. I knew Matt many years ago as a child. So sorry for your loss. May God ease your pain during this difficult time
