Erik B. Scott was born at Mather Air Force Base (Sacramento), CA, on April 23, 1972. He was killed in Las Vegas, NV, on July 10, 2010.

Erik attended the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, graduated in the top 10 percent his class, and was commissioned a U.S. Army officer in May 1994. He subsequently served as an M1A1 tank platoon leader with the 1st Cavalry. He left active duty, during the post-Cold War military drawdown, and embarked on a successful career in medical and real estate sales. He was transferred to Las Vegas in 1999, working in cardio-vascular sales for Boston Scientific. While working full-time, he obtained a Masters in Business Administration from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, then branched into real estate sales. Erik was the sales director for One Queensridge Place in Summerlin, and, with partners, was involved in a number of major projects in Las Vegas. He returned to Boston Scientific in recent years, serving as a sales representative in the company’s Cardio Response Management unit until his untimely death.

Erik is survived by his parents, William and Linda Scott of Colorado Springs, CO; a brother, Kevin Scott, sister-in-law, Allison, and nephew, Charles, of Huntington Beach, CA. Myriad other aunts, uncles and other relatives grieve his loss.
