Graham Nicholas Scott, age 15, of Shelby, passed away Saturday, November 2, 2024 as a result of injuries sustained in an ATV accident.
Graham was born December 27, 2008 in Shelby, the son of Todd M. Scott and Michelle L. (Hopkins) Bellomy. Currently a sophomore in the Shelby High School Class of 2027, Graham was an honor student and member of the Shelby Whippet football team. An active member of the Shelby FFA, he volunteered often for many events and activities the group was involved in.
Graham loved being outdoors, especially enjoyed riding 4-wheelers and ATVs, and relished time on the family farm learning everything he could. He had recently sparked an interest in welding and was happy having his learner’s permit all while looking forward to getting his driver’s license. Graham loved animals and all dogs, especially their family pups: Bo, Luke, Ellie, Weenie, Remi, and Ollie. But not everything he loved had to be outside. He also thoroughly enjoyed playing video games and eating any snack he could find.
As a person, Graham was polite and sweet, kind and loving, and always thoughtful. He was funny, especially to his friends, and always sociable. Graham had a core group of friends who he was so very close with but had great groups of friends in all things he was involved in – something that came naturally to him as he knew few strangers.
Although Graham’s life was tragically cut short on this earth, his profound impact to all who knew him reaches further than one can imagine. He will forever be loved.
Graham is survived by his mother and stepfather: Michelle and Eric Bellomy; father: Todd Scott; his brothers: Tyson Scott, Dylan Scott (fiancé, Makenzie Gearhart), Daniel Scott, Carter Scott, Branson Scott, and Brock Scott; maternal grandparents: Diane and Robert Cash; paternal grandparents: Kenneth and Karen Scott; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and an exponential amount of friends. His brother, Jackson Todd Scott, preceded him in death.
