A Letter From The Family

What Happened

On Tuesday, May 5th, our son Scott Robbins lost his life in a fluke tragic kayaking accident on Marsh Creek near Stanley, Idaho. He was with 10 friends who in various ways tried to heroically save him. Custer County Sheriff Search and Rescue multi agency efforts pulled all of the friends to safety in the days following. All of the kids are broken, but safe. Our hearts are obviously broken, and our family will never be the same.

Even at just 21, Scott lived a full and overfull life, and the stories and lives he touched are endless. We are working on this memorial webpage so we can all be together in a small way.

We are working on ways to celebrate his life, and will plan multiple Celebrations of his life in the future.

With much love,
Jeff
