Christopher J. Scott


Spc. Christopher J. Scott, age 21, of Tyrone, New York, died on September 3, 2011, at Kandahar province, Afghanistan of wounds sustained when insurgents attacked his unit with small arms fire. 

He was assigned to the 716th Military Police Battalion, 101st Sustainment Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

This had been his first overseas tour and he was scheduled to return from Afghanistan in 12 days to be married.

Light a candle for Chris. Light
his way to Heaven.
Christopher was a 2009 graduate of Dundee Junior and Senior High School.

Family friends stated that everybody knew Chris and that he was a community leader. They also stated that Chris was a passionate high school football player, an avid martial artist, an avid hunter and a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
