Mr. Scott Jeffrey Thornton, 47, of Fort Payne, Alabama, passed away on December 11, 2021.

He was born to parents William Thornton and Debbie Thornton on March 3, 1973, in Hamilton, Ontario.

Scott worked as a Concrete Foreman for 25 years. After 25 years of service, he was injured in a work-related accident in 1998 which ended his working career.

Scott met Melissa Marie Thornton in 1990. They were married on April 24, 1993, in Tintern, Ontario. Together they raised three children: Connor Scott Thornton, Owen Irvin Lee Thornton, & Carlee Jean Thornton.

Scott is survived by wife Melissa, son Connor and wife Trina, son Owen Irvin Lee and wife Ashley, daughter Carlee Jean and husband Ben. Brother Jay and wife Kim and nieces Serena and Alexa. Brother Jaime and wife Sam and niece Kylee. Brother Brian and wife Jenny and nieces Alivia, Addison, Ava, & Ashley.
