Scott A. Carrel 1962-2022

ST. JOSEPH - Scott Andrew Carrel, 60, formerly of Cameron, passed away August 21, 2022.

He was born August 20, 1962 in Cameron, Missouri to Kenneth and Margarete Sue (Buck) Carrel.

Scott graduated from Cameron High School in 1981 and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Business Administration from Sam Houston State University in 1991. He worked for the Social Security Administration as a service representative in Warrensburg, Missouri until retiring in 1997.

When Scott was six years old, his life was changed when he was hit by a car.  Whether because of, or in spite of his injuries, Scott’s sense of humor, deep love of his family and friends, and his passion for music, Mizzou football, Chiefs, and Royals was released.  He had deep thoughts on many subjects and stood firm on his beliefs.  Scott’s faith was a foundation throughout his life.  Scott’s service dogs, Callie and then Gatsby, provided him with comfort and a sense of worth.
