Sawyer Christian Scott of Dothan, Alabama lived more in nineteen years than most men live in
ninety.
He was born December 27, 2006, to Matt and Anna Scott; the middle of three, the protector of
one, the right hand of the other, and the person who changed every room he walked into.
Sawyer was taken from his family and his friends at 9:27 PM on May 21, 2026, in a tragic auto
accident caused by the error in judgment of another.
He was nineteen years old.
At sixteen, Sawyer was already working a full-time job for the City of Dothan at Westgate Park
alongside men. By seventeen, he was running his own company. He founded Dothan Window
Films out of his parents’ garage, and within a few months had moved into commercial office
space. He approached business with discipline and maturity. Professionalism, a strong work
ethic, and a willingness to help anyone who crossed his path were the foundation of everything
he built.
He loved saltwater fishing. Trucks. Cars. Boats. Motocross. He loved adding mods to his and
friends’ trucks. He was a master negotiator at buying and selling trucks and boats, somehow
always coming out ahead, to the astonishment of his parents. He loved investing. He hated
debt. He loved having his friends stop by his shop while he was working just to talk, even into
the night.
After a long day’s work, he was either on his dirt bike, eating with friends, or working on his
truck, boat, or bike — or a friend’s. When he made it home, he’d persuade his mom into a
Theragun massage after putting his body through another long day even though she was often
in bed. She always obliged. On Fridays, he was often headed to the Gulf for the food and the
saltwater fishing or off to ride motocross.
One thing set Sawyer apart from most teenagers, he loved eating out with his parents. Just the
three of them. While most kids his age were avoiding their folks, he was the one talking his
mom and dad into dinner out, whether somewhere local or a drive down to Boshamps or
Goatfeathers and back the same night.
He spent his money on experiences, not things; the next trip, the next stretch of water, the next
place he’d never been. His parents raised all three of their children to travel, and at eighteen
Sawyer took his first trip outside the country with two friends to explore on their own.
He was educated at Northside Methodist Academy and attended Westgate Church of Christ,
where his faith shaped not what he said but how he treated people. He was known to hand
cash or a gift card to someone struggling on the street. One-on-one, he met people in their
hardest moments with scripture, with words of faith, and encouraged them to attend church.
Sawyer and his siblings were their own crew. Loyal without question. Generous without
thinking. In each other’s business in the best possible way. He was a protector and mentor to
his younger sister, Ali. And ride or die for his older brother, Cole. Through every plan, everyproject, every predicament, no matter the hour. Cole was his first call.
He had a special place for his Nana in Malvern, constantly checking in on her, bringing her
dinner, and sharing his adventures of travel, fishing, and wheeling and dealing.
With his friends, his discipline and ambition were envied. In his down time, he had every one of
them laughing until they couldn’t breathe. The number of people who called him a friend is
staggering and every one of them says the same thing about him, because he was the same
with everyone. Since his passing, many of his friends have committed to changing their lives,
each of them sharing how Sawyer made them a better person.
“The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong
them. I shall use my time.”— Jack London
Sawyer used his time.
Every second of it.
Sawyer is survived by his parents, Matt and Anna Scott of Dothan; his older brother, Cole Scott;
his younger sister, Ali Scott; his grandmothers, Diane Fendely and Merlene Scott; his aunts and
uncles Tim and Tammy Spencer, Laura Dorsch, Christopher and Starla Atkinson, and Abby
Hattaway; his cousins Braden Atkinson, Jordan Dorsch, Anna Blake Pearson, Bruer Atkinson,
and Andrew Dorsch; and a special friend from Auburn. He was preceded in death by his
grandfathers, Steve Hattaway and Mark Scott.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made in Sawyer’s name to Love In
Action International Ministries (loveinactionministries.com), a cause close to his heart and a
continuation of the way he lived — caring for those struggling on the streets of his hometown.
Arrangements are as follows: a visitation will be held at Harvest Church, 2727 Fortner Street,
Dothan, AL 36305, on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at 1:00 PM, with a service celebrating Sawyer’s
life to follow immediately afterward. Everyone is welcome to attend
Today the Dothan City Commission voted 4-2 to approve a tax incentive plan for Smart Bank to add a new branch across from the Dothan Country Club at the intersection of Cherokee and Main Streets. The total value of these incentives are hundreds of thousands of dollars and they’re in effect for the next 20 years.
This site has been vacant for some time, and it’s my understanding that SmartBank got a good deal on it because it’s a former gas station.
D4 Commissioner Stock and D3 Commissioner Bedwell voted against the resolution because it doesn’t meet the standards that have been previously stated. It’s not something new that will generate sales tax revenue and it’s not in a part of town that needs economic incentives for development. In fact, it’s been said that Smart Bank was going to build there no matter what, so why would the city give away sales tax revenue on the building supplies and property tax for the next 20 years if it was going to be built anyway??? Are they going to do that for every bank or business at a vacant lot or is this just their buddies???
There were also some false statements made by certain commissioners today. Maybe D5 Pierce didn’t read his packet where it clearly states the total value of the project is $3 million, not the $4 million dollar amount he claimed. He also said the city would be getting more tax revenue with this proposal…that is also false. The city just forfeited any right to its property tax on the land for the next 20 years. The only thing that remains is the school’s portion of the property tax, which does not flow to the city. So Commissioner Pierce may need to get himself educated before he starts spouting off “facts” that are anything but facts. Yes the schools will get a little more tax revenue, but the city would have gotten even more tax revenue for decades to come without this “incentive”. Today’s vote no doubt cost the city big money!
D3 Commissioner Bedwell also brought up a good point during the meeting, with all of the talk lately about new arenas and projects, how are we ever going to fund these things if we keep giving away our future tax revenue to businesses that would build here anyway. These commissioners have no problem giving tax breaks to their banker buddies while they get ready to raise your garbage fees, business license fees, and other fees that are being discussed.
D2 Commissioner Kirksey wants $4M to build a new pool in his district, but he doesn’t have a plan to pay for it. He stated in the meeting that this bank was going to bring in 9 high paying jobs. It’s my understanding that this space isn’t going to generate all new jobs but rather relocate people from other Smart Bank locations and maybe a couple new teller positions….and those teller positions won’t be making a lot of money, but I’m sure their VPs who convinced the commission to help fund this pet project will be!
What Dothan residents need to understand is who keeps fighting for them day in and day out, and who keeps showing them they only care about their buddies and helping “the right people” as D5 Commissioner Pierce likes to say. The right people are those with money and power in their eyes, not the everyday people who work hard to make ends meet. Just wait Dothan, the city will claim they need more revenue and will want to raise everything from your electric rates, garbage rates, and license fees. Commissioners Bedwell and Stock appear that they won’t backdown and won’t give away your tax dollars for no reason, even when other commissioners want to joke and say they don’t understand the long game. I think Bedwell and Stock do understand the long game…the long game is taking care of our people and keeping the cost of living low, while encouraging and promoting growth…not giving away hundreds of thousands of dollars for things that would be built anyway. I wonder if those commissioners or mayor who voted for this have any business or accounts with Smart Bank…nobody recused themselves so that might be worth looking into…
3 employees salary of 180,000 and total cost of building in commissioner packet. Commissioners really ought to read their packet.
