Scott Murray Brainard, born Oct. 3, 1986, in Tucson, Arizona, passed
away Sept. 30, 2017, in Surprise, Arizona, at the age of 30, and is
now set free from his courageous battle with esophageal cancer.

He is survived by his wife of 10 years, Alicia (Diaz); daughters
Hayden and Kaylee; son Ashton; mother Kathryn; sisters Shelbi and
Samantha Imes (Ethan); grandmother Marilyn; parents-in-law Carlos
and Mary Diaz; brother-in-law Aaron Diaz (Jera); sister-in-law
Christy Alley (Nicholas); a handful of nieces and a nephew, along
with numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

He is preceded in death by his grandfathers, Murray Brainard and
Randal Leach, and father Scott G. Brainard.
Scott learned at a young age the meaning of hard work. As a
youngster and young man he spent what time he could on the road with
his father and grandfather. When he was old enough, he followed in
their footsteps by making a career in the transportation industry.
It was a blessing and privilege to work alongside his dad and his
uncle, John Brainard.
As much as he loved being on the road, each trip home to his family
was even more looked forward to. Scott married his high school
sweetheart in 2007 and they started a family shortly after. He was a
loving husband and father and outstanding role model to his
children. He spent most of his time in Arizona and a short time in
Athens, Texas. He returned to Arizona after being diagnosed with
cancer to be closer to family.

A Celebration of Life will be hosted at a later date. His ashes will
be spread in the Williams area, where he spent so many happy times
camping and hunting with family and friends.

Palm Valley Funeral Home in Sun City, Arizona, has been entrusted
with final arrangements.
