In 1999, his life’s journey took a different turn, and he became a proud member of the Local Union 440, where he learned a new set of skills, becoming certified in many other facets of the construction trade.

Please consider being tested for Hep C. It is a hidden disease and new drugs are available today – with more coming to market soon – making treatment shorter, more effective, and less toxic than the previous standard of care, even for those who already have cirrhosis.
Also, please consider becoming an organ donor. Organ and tissue donation and transplantation provide a second chance at life for thousands of people each year. You have the opportunity to be one of the individuals who make these miracles happen!

I worked with Scott at the Holiday Inn in Everett and Sea-Tac and followed him to Nordstroms flagship. I have been trying to find him all this time because he was a mentor to me and it was him who inspired me to want to be a Chef. I really miss him and I am sad that the day I find him online only to learned that he has passed. I miss you and there Will always be a place in my heart for chef Scott Davies.
