Scott Lee Payne was born on Dec. 14, 1965, in Mason City, the son of Cecil Emerson and Rose Geraldine (Weingart) Payne.

Scott was a resident and worked at the Opportunity Village in Clear Lake for 24 years.

Scott loved to watch movies, listen and sing to music, go shopping, car races, car shows, seeing dogs from the Human Society, which was pet therapy.  He had his picture taken with “Miracle,” the dog.  Scott loved visits from his sister, Jacque, nephews, Jacob and Terry, his brother, friends and family.  He also loved going to the computer and getting pictures of his favorite Knight Rider Car and Darth Vader, and seeing Bonnie in the computer lab.  He enjoyed his talks with Pastor Rich Murray, and Pastor Scott Sokol and spending time and singing with Linda Wells, who he called Ma Wells. Pastor Scott said she was a good cook.

Scott also loved seeing his social worker, Jane Fischer.  He loved to eat at McDonalds with staff member, Lonnie.  He loved meeting with his Aunt Helen (now in Heaven).

His family and friends will miss his smile and he will always be in their hearts and minds.
