Leave a tribute for Jimmy “Scott” Banner.
You were a good person and always had a smile on your face. Rest easy.
We will miss you.
Scott will be greatly missed at CoMMA. He was always the first to sign up to volunteer for any event and the last to leave. We enjoyed his “dad” jokes and he always welcomed everyone with a warm smile. Sending love and comfort to his family and friends. With sympathy, Jaime Money CoMMA Volunteer Coordinator and staff
