The World had never heard a voice like that of the late Stuart Scott when he was introduced to the ESPN sportscenter community. Combining hip-hop slang with sports facts and stats, Stuart Scott was one of a kind and an angel on Earth who was taken to soon.
One year ago today, cancer took the life of Stuart Scott but his memory still lives strong! Stuart Scott’s daughter’s Taelor & Sydni Scott has teamed up with Dear World for this tribute/ letter to their Dad. Checkout the letter and video below. Rest in peace Stuart Scott!
Dear Dad,
Growing up we thought all Dads worked “inside the television.” This last year, we realized the full impact you’ve had on the world, and how important you were to so many. A whirlwind year of appearances and accepting awards on your behalf, Lifetime Achievement Awards, Hall of Fame Inductions, your book launch and even a visit to the White House — has given us great insight into the mark you left during your lifetime. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to meet many people whom you profoundly impacted, share our grief and our memories while giving back on your behalf and continuing the legacy you started in raising cancer awareness.
You lived your life with a fierce sense of authenticity, passion and competitiveness, giving it your all and reaching for the best in everything you did. When you were diagnosed with cancer, you showed the world how to fight with that same fierce passion, instilling a sense of hope and inspiration to so many. And in the end you taught us all how to win – live or die – by how you live, why you live and the manner in which you live.
From you Dad, we’ve learned to reach for the fight we possess inside and apply it with passion to our lives. It was through your vulnerability, that you taught us the real value of strength in never giving up.
Love, Tae & Syd
(Your heartbeats)
