National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona

To my dear friend Scott Farnsworth,

To say that you are loved and missed beyond words, would be an understatement. Life isn't the same without you in it. We miss that laugh and smile that would brighten any room or mood. What I wouldn't give to have your here for just another day. I miss our phone calls and video chats. 
Rest In Peace until we meet again, we love and miss you. 
Thank You for your service 

Scott loved his little girl, his country, friends and family.  He would fiercely defend them if the need arose. The tattoo on his arm read " 'till the last breath."  He was a patriot and a warrior until his last breath.

I am Scott's mother.  There has been no justice.  


Taken too soon RIP I hope your family get justice ????

Scott H Farnsworth. A father, a son, a brother, a warrior, and my best friend. Our time together was short but our connection was deep and lifelong. I'm a better person for knowing you and loving you. Every day is Memorial Day as we talk about you and remember you daily. Your legacy will never be forgotten. YOU will never be forgotten. You served with honor and pride. I'm sorry those were taken from you in your death but know this.... You are a hero. You are OUR hero. And it is with honor and pride that I call you my best friend. I love you and miss you Scotty. Till Valhalla ❤️????????

Never in my life brother I thought you would have come home and went through the things you did,it seemed all the time you told me you wish you where back in the army. But it took who you where protecting at home to shorten your day's. I miss you bro and wish we could hit Ginnie springs one more time together but that was taken from us.i will never forget you farns you where definitely a unique person and that's what made you so fun to be around.

Forever alive in the hearts of those that love you. Never forgotten. I shall smile upon you in this life, and when we meet on the other side, we shall smile together as we did before. Until Valhalla, where we shall see each other again.

How can a mother ever get over loosing her child?  I can't.  Scott was a quiet boy who was in his element hiking and exploring the woods.  He loved his dog Twoey and was always with her on their expeditions.  Scotty was very observant oftentimes standing back so not to be noticed while he studied people and situations.  In high school he was a Defensive End in football and went to State in Field and Track for Discus and Shot Put.  Three weeks after Scott graduated from high school he left for Basic Training at Ft Benning, GA.  It was there that he decided he wanted to try for the Rangers.  Scott always excelled at PT and his scores were always perfect and above both at Ft Lewis and in Iraq.  I prayed that Scotty would come home from Iraq alive.  Well he did but his PTSD and TBI were not treated by the VA.  As a result, Scotty was gunned down by Mesa (AZ) Police Officers.    Scotty left his daughter Tarryn, me and his sister Kami behind when he was killed that night.  I love you Scotty!
