Leave a tribute for Jimmy “Scott” Banner.
I am saddened to hear of Scott's passing. He was a friend that always had a smile on his face and he loved the Lord. I had went to church with him and his family. Jimmy and family you all are in my prayers and you know he is enjoying his self up there with his mother. Fly High my friend until we meet again.
Scott we shared the same birthday (except for the year). He would tell me this every year when we exchanged birthday wishes to each other. I will miss this from him. Now that he is free of earthly issues, Scott my school mate and birthday friend can look out for us from a heavenly place! Rest in peace Scott. My warmest heart felt sympathy goes to his family and loved ones! Until we meet again Scott I will light a candle for you on our birthday!

Thank you for always being a great person, so many conversations we had and the laughs. You did a lot of traveling, and I was always so jealous of your cruises. I'm glad you were able to see the world. Rest in peace Scott.
Sorry to hear about Scott. We always enjoy him at the cemetery. Praying for you and family.
So sorry for the lost of Scott. He will be missed. Class reunions won't be the same without you Scott.
I’m so sorry for you loss sending prayers for everyone.He was a really sweet guy.im still shocked of the news.
Scott was my classmate class of 1986. He was a very sweet caring man. I will miss bumping into him around town or at the CoMMA. I enjoyed working on the class reunion in 2016 and visiting with him at subsequent class get together. He will be missed by his classmates. My condolences to you, the family and all his friends.
Scott, you will be missed. Our hearts go out to Scott's family. Heaven has gained another Angel.
My Condolences to the family. Scott was a classmate of mine 1986. He always spoke to me when I would see him out. He was so resourceful when the 86 class planned reunions. A lot of times things happen that we can't understand. Just know God called him & perhaps he is helping to plan reunions & be a resource for our eternal life. God Bless the Banner family.
