SALEM – Scott Andrew Moynihan, 48, passed away unexpectedly at his camp in Salem on Thursday, Jan. 14, 2021.
He was born in Portland on April 5, 1972, a son of Harvey and Sherri (Dearborn) Moynihan. Scott grew up in Gray, attending Gray-New Gloucester schools and graduated from North Yarmouth Academy in 1990. He briefly attended USM; and went on to work at Embassy Suites Hotel, the Portland Press Herald, Dead River Oil Co., Downeast Energy, and most recently Napa Auto Parts. He was active in a local snowmobile club, having recently served as president. He also helped his father coach varsity basketball in the early 2000s.
Scott loved most sports, but most of all basketball, golf, and auto racing. Some of the best moments of his life were spent with his family and friends snowmobiling, four-wheeling, golfing with buddies, going to camp, playing darts, hosting Daytona 500 parties, sitting around the fire pit telling stories and enjoying a cold beer, attending family reunions, having lobster and clambakes, and getting take-out at Ken’s Place in Pine Point.
He was predeceased by his paternal grandparents, Lewis and Phyllis Moynihan and maternal grandparents, Carl and Priscilla Dearborn.
He is survived by his wife, Kim; son, Devon; daughter, Taylor all of North Yarmouth; his parents, Harvey and Sherri Moynihan of Gray; brother, Brian, sister-in-law, Michelle, nephew, Ethan, and niece, Erin all of Elliot; uncle Lew and his wife, Jackie of Yarmouth; uncle Eric and wife, Debi of Yarmouth; cousins, Lew, Casey, Kevin, and Kelly, and their families; in-laws, Joe and Valerie Chappell of Falmouth; and countless friends and acquaintances.
We will all miss him forever.
