Eric "Scotty" Fugate passed away peacefully on Friday August 15th, 2014 with his loving family by his side.

Scotty was born on September 13th, 1979 in the great Pro Football Hall Of Fame city of Canton, Ohio. He was an avid football fan, his team of choice was the Cleveland Browns. He was always first to tell you that he was a "Born Buckeye" that was raised in the south. He loved THE Ohio State, and his blood ran scarlet and gray all the way. As a young man he participated in many sports. He grew up playing Pop Warner Football, Port Orange Rec Basketball and Baseball. He also played and coached Pal Basketball. His proudest moment was when he received his Atlantic Sharks basketball jersey. He attended Atlantic High School and was a 1998 graduate of Spruce Creek High School and later Daytona Beach Community College.

Scotty had many loves in his life, his family, his ladies, his friends, fishing, sports, NASCAR, his animals. Thrive Community Church, music but his greatest was the love for his Lord. He even had his knuckles tattooed "Love Lord". He was baptized in the ocean along with his Mom in March 2014.
