WHEN I DIE* When I die, be it by water, knife, fire, car, gun, COVID or cancer or while I lie in peaceful slumber, ask not why, and do not sigh for I shall soar beyond the grave and sky.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith”

Eulogy for the late Peter Wayne Scott (JP) It was the Greek Philosopher, Aristotle who once said, “death is the most terrible of all things, for it is the end, and nothing is thought to be either good or bad for the dead”.

Though death marks the ends of one’s life, it is a natural part of the life cycle, where growth, prime, and decay follow each other inevitably.

Today we gather to celebrate the life of a great human being who has left an indelible mark on society. He was a caring, loving and kind individual who touched the hearts of everyone he encountered. His kindness is well known in his church community, his community where he was born and bred and the business community.

Peter’s compassion and empathy inspired those around him. He had a deep empathy for others, understanding their struggles and challenges. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, offering support and guidance when needed. His compassion touched countless lives, making a lasting impact on his church community, the JP Fraternity, and extension the wider community. His kindness and generosity created a ripple of love and warmth that will continue to be felt. Peter had a heart of gold, always putting others before himself. His kindness was contagious, spreading warmth and comfort to those around him. He was also a beacon of integrity, who lived a life of honesty and authenticity. He always stood by his words and they were his bond.

Peter was born in Grange Hill to Mable and George Scott. He grew up in the community of Truro, where he spent his childhood, adolescent and adult life. Peter’s early education started at the Grange Hill Primary School where he earned a scholarship to the Manning’s School after passing his Common Entrance Examination. However, after completing his secondary schooling Peter did not transition to a college or university like many of his counterparts in his year group because of financial constraints.

Eulogy for the late Peter Wayne Scott (JP) Consequently, he had to launch out in the world of work and secured a job at Nepaul’s Tyre Sales. While at this establishment he honed his business skills and became an entrepreneur. This ambitious man expanded his business through hard work and his financial wizardry.

He was indeed a philanthropist who was always willing to extend a helping hand to the less fortunate and rejected among us. His philanthropy is well known in the community where he was reared. His magnanimity was not just extended to his immediate family members but to other relatives and friends. He was someone who believed in education and would always encourage students in his church and the wider community to aim for the star as the sky was the limit in his eyes. His congenial personality was so inviting, which made him a loveable and a great human being.

We will all have to go on in life with the thought of his tenacity and fixity of purpose. But the rest of our life will continue to be happier and lighter because he has left us a legacy of immortal joy and happiness that comes from kindness and thrives in love.

His life was a testament to the power of compassion and integrity. We will miss him dearly, but his memory will continue to inspire us to live our lives with kindness and compassion.

In the weeks leading up to his passing we witnessed how his health had deteriorated. But his spirit was always there. He would always say “I am fighting this cancer”. His passing has left a void in the Scott’s Family, the church community and the wider community where he is well known which is going to be impossible to fill. He was indeed a gracious person who was committed to his church and the people who he served in the various positions in which he was asked to serve.

Eulogy for the late Peter Wayne Scott (JP) As we bid you farewell “Me G”, we take comfort in your memories, your work and worth and will carry your legacy forward striving to live up to the example you set for us.

According to Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, “death is simply a shedding of physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon”. Sleep on “Me G” ! Sleep On! Peter is survived by his wife Marion, son Anton, siblings namely, Lloyd, Eugene, Marilyn, Pansy and John. He is also survived by nieces, nephews, and countless cousins.

Refrain: There’ll be singing, there’ll be shouting When the saints come marching home, In Jerusalem, in Jerusalem, Waving palms with loud hosannas As the King shall take His throne, In the new Jerusalem.

Tho’ the way is sometimes lonely, He will hold me with His hand, Through the testing and the trials I must go.

But I’ll trust and gladly follow, For sometime I’ll understand, In the new Jerusalem.

When the last goodbye is spoken And the tear stains wiped away, And our eyes shall catch a glimpse of glory fair, Then with bounding hearts we’ll meet Him Who hath washed our sins away, In the new Jerusalem.

When we join the ransomed army In the summer land above, And the face of our dear Savior we behold, We will sing and shout forever, And we’ll grow in perfect love, In the new Jerusalem.

The kindest, loveliest, most selfless person.

To my best friend, confidant, and husband You were always there for anyone in need.

There aren’t enough words or enough paper in the world to truly capture what you meant to us, but no one deserves a tribute more than you.

We had so many dreams and plans for the future—you wanted to do it all. My darling, I don’t know how I will survive without you by my side.

Anyone who was lucky enough to meet you, whether they knew you as Peter, Brother Peter… to everyone, you were a hero. You treasured every moment and always had a smile on your face, no matter what.

I want to cry, to be angry, and to ask why illness took you away from us—but even through my pain, I know how deeply you loved us and how much you wanted to keep us safe. You went the extra mile for everyone, especially for me and Anton. You were our rock, our calm in every storm, our source of joy and strength.

The kindest, loveliest, most selfless person.

To my best friend, confidant, and husband The lights have dimmed in all of our lives now that you are no longer here. Yet, it’s no surprise that even in your absence, you continue to keep us going—because you would tell us to stay strong, to carry on, to live fully and love deeply. I can't begin to imagine life without your silly jokes, your warm hugs, our family holidays, and your unfailing optimism. You lifted me when I was down and cared for us until the very end.

We are all feeling lost without you, but we are trying our best to be as brave as you were. You have so many friends, my love, and everyone loved you. The messages, support, and kind words have been overwhelming. I’m so grateful for them, just as I’m grateful for the love you gave to all our families—every single one.

The kindest, loveliest, most selfless person.

To my best friend, confidant, and husband You loved adventures. You were always seeking new places to explore, new moments to cherish. Whether it was a family holiday or cheering Anton on at a football match, you were there—heart and soul.

You never sat still, never gave in, never gave up. You were so full of life.

You could fix anything, build anything, and you never hesitated to help family, friends, or neighbours.

You were a pillar of strength to everyone who crossed your path.

My heart is broken without you, my sweetheart, but my God, I am so thankful you chose to share your incredible life with me.

You imprinted so much love and laughter onto all of our lives. I will never stop loving you, and I will forever be grateful for the happiest years of my life—years spent with you by my side.

The kindest, loveliest, most selfless person.

To my best friend, confidant, and husband You were the priest, provider, and protector of our home.

My love, you are gone too soon. But I take comfort in knowing you fought the good fight, finished your course, and kept the faith.

Remember the song you used to sing?

"I love You, Lord, for Your mercy never fails me All my days, I've been held in Your hands From the moment that I wake up Until I lay my head Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God." We will miss you every day. You will forever be remembered as the best of us, the heart of our home, the light of our lives. I will carry your love with me always.

With all my love, Your wife, Marion, and your son, Anton.

Tribute to Brother Peter Scott Baptized March 17, 1992, by the late Elder Hubert Perry, Brother Peter Scott became a member of the Holiness Born Again Church (HBAC) family, and commenced his walk with God. For most of his years he remained in the background, choosing to work away from the flashing lights. However, in 2021 he was appointed as the Men’s President of the local assembly, as well as a member of the Zachariah Nepaul Scholarship Fund steering committee.

Positions which he held with great pride up to the time of his passing.

Brother Scott changed the face of the Men’s Department. He was meticulous, had an enquiring mind and a very hard worker, who had great ideas and strove to leave things better than he came and saw them.

He had a serious demeanor, but his laughter was infectious. He was one who never lingered on trivialities, and often appear to be in a hurry to get things done; he despised procrastination.

Brother Peter was an advisor, when it comes on to matters which may require some legal input.

He seemed to always know the right person(s) to point one to.

He was an advocate for the disenfranchised especially those among the elderly and young. He had a heart of gold and a generous spirit that knew no bounds.

Tribute to Brother Peter Scott His philanthropic gestures impacted the lives of many. He possessed a passion to help where others turn a blind eye. He was never too proud to seek the assistance of individuals or corporate enterprises to execute his projects. These include, but were not limited to, work on Labor Day and the home of one of the church’s shut-in, brother or sister, feeding and care packages for the infirmary and Clifton Boys’ Home, celebrating milestones such as anniversaries and birthdays. His patience, wisdom and kindness have helped many to navigate some of the challenges faced in their daily lives.

We today honor his memory by embodying the love, compassion and zest that defined Brother Scott. He will always remain in our hearts, and his legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched. As a church family, Bishop Evan & Evangelist Theresa Nepaul, Board of Officers and all the members of the HBAC extend condolences to his wife Marion Scott and son Anton Scott, other relatives and friends. He now rests in peace and we pray that God’s light will shine on him perpetually.

Pastor Bishop Dr E Nepaul & Church family

A Pillar of Faith, Service, and Leadership In every community, there are individuals whose dedication and vision leave an indelible mark, transforming lives and elevating those around them. Peter, an individual who displayed such demeanour.

Over the years, Peter have not only been a devoted member of the church but have also played a crucial role in shaping its growth and the lives of those in our congregation.

Through Peter’s unwavering faith, tireless service, and innovative thinking, he has led and inspired countless projects that have impacted not only the church but the entire community.

Whether it was organizing outreach programs, spearheading initiatives to support the less fortunate, or cultivating meaningful connections within our congregation, Peter efforts have set a new standard for excellence.

In particular, Peter's work within the Men’s Department has been nothing short of transformative. Peter elevated the department by instilling a sense of unity, accountability, and purpose, while also encouraging every member to reach their fullest potential.

Under Peter’s leadership, the Men's Ministry has grown stronger, more engaged, and more focused on fulfilling its mission of serving God and each other.

A Pillar of Faith, Service, and Leadership Through Peter vision and leadership, he has set a high bar for what it means to serve with integrity and dedication.

Peter has truly been an inspiration to us all, and his impact will be felt for years to come.

Though we mourn the loss of a dear President – Bro Peter Scott, we take comfort in knowing that his legacy of faith, service, and leadership will continue to guide us. His unwavering commitment to the church, the community, and the Men’s Ministry has left a lasting imprint that cannot be erased. As we grieve, we are reminded that the work Peter started—through projects, leadership, and acts of kindness—will carry on in the hearts of each person they touched.

To Bro Peter’s family, we extend our deepest condolences, holding you in our prayers during this difficult time. To the church and especially the Men’s Ministry, let us honour Peter's memory by continuing the work he so passionately championed. May we carry forward the high standards he set, lifting one another up and serving with the same dedication and love that he demonstrated every day. Let us be inspired to not only mourn but to act—to build on the foundation Peter laid, ensuring his legacy lives on in every corner of our community.

A Life Well Lived HBAC Men’s Department

Extraordinaire: A Beacon of Kindness Some people come into our lives quietly, and yet their impact is immeasurable. Peter was one of those people. He didn’t seek the spotlight. He didn’t ask for recognition. He simply showed up—time and again—with a full heart, a listening ear, and a quiet strength that made you feel safe just by being around him.

He wasn’t just a friend of the family. He was family.

From picking up packages from the courier service to dropping by just to check in, he was always nearby when we needed him—whether we said so or not. He had a remarkable ability to notice things others might miss: the unspoken worry, the need for a helping hand, or the silent support that was needed in a moment of despair. And he’d be there—never making a fuss, never expecting anything in return. His actions spoke louder than any words ever could.

What made his friendship even more extraordinary was the way he continued to care for others, even during his own battle with illness. When many would have turned inward, Peter remained outward-focused. He never let his pain overshadow his kindness. Even as his body grew weaker, his spirit remained as strong and generous as ever. He still made calls, offered advice, sent messages to check in, and reminded us that we were loved. He would brush off questions about his own well-being, always asking, “Don’t worry about me. How are you all holding up?” And in those moments, he never failed to thank God for His goodness, even in the face of adversity.

Extraordinaire: A Beacon of Kindness That kind of selflessness doesn’t come from habit—it comes from a deeply rooted love for others, a love that is unwavering and unconditional.

Peter had an easy laugh, a voice full of warmth, and a sense of humour that could lighten the heaviest day. He had the rare gift of making others feel at ease, no matter the circumstances. He brought comfort in difficult times, and joy in the ordinary ones. He was the kind of person who made you want to be better—more patient, more thoughtful, more present.

He leaves behind a legacy that’s hard to put into words. It’s in the stories we’ll tell about him. It’s in the way we’ll show up for each other, just as he did for us. It’s in the lessons he taught us—not through preaching, but by example. He showed us that true strength is quiet, that real love is constant, and that true friendship endures—even beyond this life.

Peter, you were more than a friend. You were a teacher, a beacon of light in dark moments. You gave our family the gift of your presence, your wisdom, and your unwavering care. And though we are heartbroken by your loss, we are so deeply grateful for the time we had with you.

You are gone from this world, but never truly lost to us. Your spirit lives on in our hearts, in our memories, and in the love, you left behind. Your example of grace, kindness, and selflessness will continue to guide us.

Earth has lost you, but Heaven has gained a star. You were our extraordinary, and we will carry your spirit with us always.” Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours and their works do follow them”. Revelation 14:13.
