F. Scott Boggs

May 25, 1963 - October 28, 2021

Scott Boggs, age 58, of Edwardsville, Illinois passed away Thursday, October 28, 2021. He was born Franklin Scott Boggs on May 25,1963, in Charleston, West Virginia. He graduated from Edwardsville High School, attended University of Missouri, and held a B.S. degree in Psychology from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville as well as an A.A.S. degree in medical billing and coding from Southwestern Illinois College. Throughout the years, Scott was employed by Psychological Associates and Thompson Coburn Law Firm in St. Louis, Southwestern Illinois Plastic and Hand Surgery in Edwardsville, and most recently as a billing and coding specialist at Scott Air Force Base in O’ Fallon. Scott was a dedicated son and well-loved friend. His star personality and brilliant sense of humor will carry on forever in the hearts and minds of all who knew him. An extremely thoughtful and caring individual, Scott took great pleasure in making others happy even when suffering health challenges later in life. Passionate about music and popular culture, Scott had a scholar’s knowledge of both. Music was a constant source of inspiration for Scott and any visit to his house revealed a massive collection of vinyl record albums, CD’s and streaming music. An avid reader, Scott collected books of all kinds - pop culture, politics and biographies were some of his favorite subjects. He also had a great love for animals, especially Punkin, his beloved feline companion of many years. Scott is survived by his mother, Lynn McClure Boggs Russo of Edwardsville, his father James Franklin Boggs of Raleigh, North Carolina, and a brother, T. Darin Boggs of St. Louis. Family and friends are planning a memorial service in the near future to celebrate Scott’s life. Memorial donations are greatly appreciated and should be directed to the Metro East Humane Society at mehs.org or the Recording Academy’s MusiCares organization at musicares.org. Weber & Rodney Funeral Home are taking care of the arrangements. Condolences may be expressed online at weberfuneralhome.com
