Leave a tribute for Jimmy “Scott” Banner.
I'm still shocked and saddened by this news. It wasn't too long ago that I saw you. I'm so sorry I didn't get to say goodbye. :'( Thank you for being such a wonderful human being. Thank you for your kindness and inspiration! I was always so impressed when you would tell me of all the races you had done and the ones you were signed up for. And I was always so happy for you when I saw your posts about traveling. Thank you for being one of my regulars when I had workout classes at Morganton club fitness. I could always count on you to be there and do your very best, and I appreciated that *so much!* Please know that you have been a great inspiration to me, making me believe that I can do anything as long as I put my mind to it. That the only thing that holds me back is myself. Thank you Scott. I will miss you! Until we meet again! ♡
Praying for your family!! May the GOD be with you tomorrow!!
I am so sorry to hear about Scott's passing. I have know him since Elementary school. I've talked to him many times over the years. He was always a good hearted person. He will be missed.

My smiling talkative neighbor that greeted me most days from his porch where he sat and talked to friends on his phone. Scott called me "Jan" since he was a young boy and I will surely miss him being there. He was such a kind gentle soul that liked to talked about when his Mom was home and going to Mt Airy. I know you are smiling now with your Mom. Rest Easy my Friend
We will miss you and hearing you sing.

I have known Scott for many years, I have ate with him many times at exit 100 restaurant. This is very sad for everybody. I'm going to miss that man. He was a quiet and laid back and a very kind, helpful brother in the Lord. I'm going to miss him ringing the bell for the Salvation Army at Walmart at Christmas time. Wow I can't believe my friend is gone and don't even know what happened to him. I can't get no information. If anybody would happen to be reading this could u tell me did he get sick in the last two weeks or month because I always thought he was in good health. Thank you
Prayers for the family
