Chaplin, Scott           
Scott Chaplin "Scooter" or "Chandler" Our son, brother, uncle and friend Scott
Daniel Chaplin, 24 of Salt Lake City, born January 14, 1981 to Sheldon W. and
Victoria M. Chaplin, died September 19, 2005. Scott leaves behind his older

Schools, Clayton Middle School and graduated from Judge Memorial High School.
He earned an Associates Degree from Certified Career Institute in Computer
Programming. He was a long time Boy Scout and achieved the Order Of The Arrow.
Scott's love for life, friends and family was never more apparent then when he
shared his seemingly endless supply of stories, which always included "nuggets
of wisdom" for us to ponder. Never one short on words, he enjoyed debating
with friends and family about anything life had to offer. At his own
admission, Scott was a nerd. This of course lent itself to his self-proclaimed
title of "Technical Jeanious" (sic). Unwaveringly kind, selfless and
dependable, Scott was always there to lend his help. His warmth, wit and
contagious laughter only begin to tell the story of how much he will be
missed. His maternal and paternal grandparents precede Scott in death. A
Funeral Mass will be celebrated Monday 10:00 am at Our Lady Of Lourdes
Catholic Church 670 South 1100 East. A Vigil Service will be held Sunday 7:00
