AMHERST, MA: Scott Robert Rhodes, beloved father, husband, son and brother lost his battle with mental illness on December 4th 2023 at the age of 41. He is survived by his wife Kristen, his children Jason, Scott, and Madelyn. His parents, Cheri and Dusty. His siblings Nick, Andrew, Thomas and Katelyn. And his many nieces and nephews.
Scott loved the outdoors. He competed in national kayak fishing tournaments and had hiked much of the Appalachian Trail. He played basketball and football and was proud of his role as part of the 2000 Amherst Regional High School championship football team.
In 2014 Scott was hit by a car while riding a bicycle and suffered a traumatic brain injury. He was never the same. He struggled with memory problems and depression as a result, and could not reach a place to accept the help he needed.
Scott will be remembered for his humor, his willingness to always help someone in need, and his distinct ability to give everyone a hard time. Even with his injury he tried his best to be a parent, even though it was hard he did the best he could. This was particularly evident in his last days.
A celebration of life will be held at a future date next year. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in Scott’s name to Whole Children at https://www.wholechildren.org/
