Scott Matthew Schilder, born February 10, 1975, left us March 10, 2007. He remains with us in our hearts and memories forever.
Scott, the middle son of Stephen Z. Schilder and Sandran, was born in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. He attended Fort Walton Beach High School and Choctawhatchee High School. He was an ASE certified automotive technician, a loyal NASCAR fan, and an intuitive automobile mechanic. Scott enjoyed hunting, camping, and a lively debate.
Scott was a fifth generation Okaloosan.
He was a loving son, a loyal brother, and adoring husband, and a tender father and step-father. He was a joy to his maternal grandparents, Lela Louise (dec.) and Oliver McKuhen, and David Monroe Tutwiler (dec.) He spent many hours with his maternal grandmother, Lela Louise, and was great comfort to her in her last days.
Scott celebrated his Bar Mitzvah in 1988 at Temple Bethel after many years study of Hebrew and Jewish history from Rabbi Swartz in Pensacola, FL. He continued the rituals throughout his life.
Scott will be deeply missed by his wife, Rae Gillette Schilder and their daughter, Sierra LelaRae Schilder of Niceville; his step-son, John Scott Gillette of Santa Rosa Beach, his daughter, Parris Elizabeth of Fort Walton Beach; his mother, Sandran of Ft. Walton Beach; his brother, Robert Monroe Schilder, and wife Maya and their children, Zack and Macy Rose of Ft. Walton Beach; his brother, Jason Harris Schilder of Destin; his maternal grandfather, Oliver McKuhen of Bristol, FL; his maternal aunt and uncle Steve McKuhen and Cyndi McKuhen of Bristol, FL; his maternal aunt and uncle, Calvin David and Paula Tutwiler of DeFuniak Springs, FL; his maternal great-aunt, Beth Martin of Ft. Walton Beach; his cousins, Stevie McKuhen, Sammy McKuhen, David Tutwiler, Amy Martin, and Laura Martin; and many friends of all ages and walks of life.
Our beloved Scott: You were loved past the moon and stars. We know you loved us more than you could say. We will see you in every fast car. We will feel your presence as we sit quietly in the woods. We will know you in your daughters. We will love you and hold you in our hearts until the end of time. You fought the good fight and now you can rest and be at peace.
