Was looking forward to seeing if he was getting that CF chair

RIP

Absolutely devastating. RIP Scottie, you will be missed.

Life's circumstances can be difficult to understand and comprehend. I understand his decision and hopefully there is more to "being" than this earth. Hopefully he is at rest and and railing berms in the loamiest dirt known in this universe. Eternal Peace.

This is heart wrenching. God bless you, Ocscottie!

Man…hard to even comprehend that someone is suffering so badly. This makes my heart hurt. I’ll miss him. Truly miss him.

May God bring peace to all who loved him. He is finally free of that chair…and is no doubt he is pain free and running like the wind right now. His current joy brings a smile to my face this morning.

I hope Scottie has found peace. Rest easy, OC.

RIP Scottie. So sorry for the pain you have endured. Thinking about you and your family.

Godspeed, brother.

RIP OC. We’ll miss you.

Breaks my heart to know that such a cool guy was in so much pain for so long. RIP Scottie.

So sad! RIP, love ya buddy! #28

Rest in Peace OC

Man…my heart is heavy. RIP OC…

No words will help, RIP OC

Nothing else to add, just wanted to pay my respects. RIP Scottie. The amount of pain you endured, you have the heart of a fighter. And a true love for the sport of motocross.

RIP Scottie. Glad your pain is gone, can’t imagine what you were going through. You will be missed!

RIP Scottie. I respect your decision and admire you for pushing through so long. Thanks for sharing your immense passion for Moto with us, and all the help you provided in between.

Catch you on the flip side, moto brother.

RIP brother. You will be missed, and never forgotten.

RIP

Hang in there Scottie! We’re all here for you!

RIP Scottie. No more pain and in a better place.

Been playing this all morning thinking of him.. RIP

Dougie and O/C were two of the first people I interacted here that made me feel like I was just talking to a buddy. I miss my convos with Dougie about MotoGP and O/C general demeanor and wealth of knowledge. RIP

I’ve always been one of those people who felt suicide was selfish, taking the “easy” way out. As I’ve grown older I realized how wrong that thinking was.

Scottie fought so hard to get relief from his pain and it continued to get worse. I cannot imagine what he endured over the years; I know it is something I could have never dealt with as long as he did. He was a fighter and what he did in the end roof great courage. We all need to look at it as he fought as long as he could and now was the time for Scottie to finally be at peace. As hard as it was to wake up to this news, I totally support his decision. Our thoughts/prayers should be with his loving family/friends today. Scottie touched a lot of lives and he will be missed 🙏

I only know him from reading his posts on here over the years.But he sounded like a great person and I am happy for him to be pain free and been able to make such a tough decision with the support of his family. I wish that he had been able to have a different outcome , that there was some other way to have eased his pain . But it sounds like he tried everything and more. I hope his family and friends can find some peace in knowing he is no longer in pain. I came to check and see how things were going and my heart sunk as I read through the comments. I was happy for him to have not been stopped after he made his choice and I hope he made a smooth and peaceful transition over to whatever is next.

RIP Scottie. Glad the pain and suffering is over.

Rest well kind friend. I get it.

RIP. This sport/hobby/passion can bring about the greatest times, and unfortunately the worst.

Rest In Peace brother!
