Scott's Story
Scott Dana Smith was born November 28, 1966 at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center, Towson, MD. He departed this life peacefully on Tuesday, April 28, 2015.
After attending Bel Air Elementary and Middle Schools, Scott graduated from Bel Air High School in 1984 where he played football and ran track. In 1986, he graduated from Harford Community College where he played soccer. He graduated in 1988 from Springfield College in Massachusetts with a Bachelor’s degree, where he ran track. Scott also received a Master’s degree from the College of Notre Dame of Maryland. While in middle school, Scott had a paper route and later became one of the first employees at Domino’s Pizza, when the company came to Bel Air. Scott played little league baseball and participated in a youth bowling league. He was a Cub Scout and Boy Scout, serving as an assistant Cub Scout/Den Leader for Troop 812 at Ames United Methodist Church. While in high school and college, he worked at and directed youth summer camps. During that time he umpired little league baseball where he was considered the second best umpire in the area, behind his cousin, Jimmy Watters.
After teaching in the Harford County and Baltimore City public schools system, he went to work at Glenmar Elementary School in Baltimore County where he was loved and admired by the staff, faculty, and students.
Not only did Scott run marathons, half marathons, 10K, 5K, and 3K races, he trained other runners, such as Team in Training (who raises funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society), and a female running team, The Red Devils. He also trained individuals, and helped out at other races, including Ames United Methodist Church Race/Walk to Feed the Hungry, coordinated by Donna Lewis, a fellow runner and friend.
As mentioned in the March 13, 2015 issue of the local newspaper - The Aegis - about three months after recovering from a heart attack, Scott returned to running again, completing more than a dozen marathons and more than 19 half-marathons.
During the last couple of summers, Scott worked at a youth camp in Baltimore County where they taught martial arts, took field trips and participated in other activities. At the time of his death, he was an umpire for a little league travel baseball team in Harford County. Scott also belonged to a Monday night Swing dance group in Baltimore County.
Scott was recognized as one of Harford County’s Most Beautiful People because of his volunteering service. He was quick-witted, fun loving and generous with his time and talent and helpful in every way. He was also a fan of the Baltimore Ravens and Orioles.
