Scott Henry Dayment Sr.
Scott Henry Dayment Sr., 70, passed away unexpectedly, at Cornell Health Services, Thursday, Feb. 22, 2024. Despite his many health battles, his loving heart left a lasting impression on every life he touched.
Scott was born the son of Henry and Geraldine (Studley) Dayment, April 5, 1953, in Chicago, Ill.
For his early years, he lived in Round Lake Park, Ill., where he attended school, graduating in 1971.

He loved music and made many friends, following the local music scene. One of his favorite activities was sharing the gift of Christmas, by dressing up as Santa Claus and visiting many families.
