Scott Thrower Obituary

You can shed tears that he is gone, or you can smile because he lived, you can close your eyes and pray that he will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see him, or you can be full of the love that you shared, you can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he is gone, or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn back, or you can do what he would want; smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Scott passed away on Thursday June 14, 2013. He is survived by his wife, Dana Melancon Thrower; Sons Russell Thrower and Brayden Thrower; Parents, Bob and Joyce Thrower; Brothers, Daryl Thrower and Bobby Thrower and wife Michelle; Grandfather, Leon Baker; Mother and Father-in-law, Darlene and Jessie Guillot; Father-in-law, Charlie Melancon; Sisters-in-law, Chrissy Melancon, Laura Foret and husband Albert, Kelli Barrilleaux and husband Don; Brothers-in-law, Curt Melancon and wife Natalie and Todd Guillot and wife Missy; Numerous Aunts, Uncles, Nieces, Nephews and by two people who were more than neighbors, more than best friends, Bill & Melissa Woodward. Scott is preceded in death by his Grandmother Nezzie Baker and Aunt Debbie Marler. Scott was 47 years old and a 1984 graduate of Broadmoor High School in Baton Rouge. He was a faithful employee of Williams Olefins in Geismar, Louisiana for 27 years. Scott loved his job and loved his co-workers even more. Scott never met a stranger and his smile would light up a room. Visiting will be at Ourso Funeral Home in Gonzales on Tuesday June 18, 2013 from 1pm until Memorial Services at 4pm, officiated by Pastor Todd Blount. In lieu of flowers please make donations to the Brayden Michael Thrower College Fund at any Capital One Bank. Please offer your condolences to the family at www.oursofh.com.

Memories and Condolences
for Scott Thrower

Not sure what to say?





I'm so glad to have got to know Scott. I enjoyed working with him for 22 wonderful years. He was always helpful with explaining or figuring out a solution with whatever work related problem I faced. I would see him every morning while getting my morning coffee. He never failed to greet me with that cheerful "Good morning, Walley!" He will most certainly be missed, but I'm so thankful that I got to work with him all these years. My thoughts and prayers to his family!

Patti Campbell

June 18, 2013

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Remembering Scott with a smile and not a tear should be his one and only legacy.

June 18, 2013

this is a poem I cam across recently and I wanted to share it with you, it's helped me and my daughter out this past year and I'm hoping it will help you: Do not stand at my grave and weep;
i am not there, do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond's glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, i did not die

Dana & family - there are no right words to ease your pain and bring you all the comfort you need. Just know that there are hundreds to people who are praying for you and wishing you many blessings in the days, months and years to come. Scott will be forever missed and thought of with a smile and a great memory, he was just that kind of man. Never to be without a smile or a kind word or a warm hug. May you always know that his memory will forever live in your heart and the eyes of his boys. May God wrap his arms around you and bring you all the strength that you need. And if you should ever need a mans hand to change the light bulbs or clean the cobwebs from the corners of the ceiling...call Shannon Gill. (Lol - sorry I love that crazy woman and know that she will be the first one running to help.). Hope that brought you a chuckle to lighten you minute. Luv u girlie, keep your head up high where Scott would want it.

I didn't know Scott, but as a fellow Williams employee, the same age and tenure with the company, and father of two boys, we actually had a lot in common. The Geismar facility has always been held up as the example safety program. Their lost time accident record was almost unheard of. My guess is that leaders like Scott had a lot to do with that. Praying for the entire family.

I HAD TO GO AWAY

I had to go away.
I'm sorry you couldn't come with me.
But on earth is where you shall stay.
Please do not be sad.
Instead laugh and be glad.
I'm in a beautiful place, such a beautiful place.
I know you wont see me for a while.
But you will hear from me.
I will be the wind that will chill you on a hot summer day.
I will be the sun that will warm you when it's cold.
Listen to the birds sing, I will be saying, "I love you" in their song.
I know you can't touch me.
But you will feel me.
Because I will be inside of you giving you life on the days you feel like you can't go on anymore.
Please I beg of you, go on, and live your life as I lived mine.
Always remember we will be together again.
I will be patiently waiting for you on that day.
When you will join me in this beautiful place.
Until then may God bless you with his almighty grace.
