I've had several friends die in the past 4 years. Scotty Johnsguard died of an unknown illness yesterday. Here's what I remember about him:

-we home schooled together
-he was incredible at science
-we wrote the script for a movie that was incredibly hilarious and obviously never created
-I beat him in chess and bragged to my friends about how I beat the "smartest homeschool kid at chess", but really he admitted to being a shitty chess player before the first pawn was moved
-he loved monty python and all that they did
-he could sing lower than i can
-he was always hilarious and always extremely eager to speak to anyone about anything
-we were on the robotics team together
-he wore high white socks, even when wearing shorts
-his mother was very sequential and awkwardly organized
-he, just like i ended up doing, went to the woodlands highschool to pursue interaction with normal people
-i witnessed his perverted stage in 8th and 9th grade where he would point out all of the naked pictures of adam and eve in church
-he laughed at anything remotely funny, but when he did, you felt confidence and that your joke was way funnier than it actually was
-he was very talented at the piano and composed a score for the movie "Karoshi", in which bandy, juan, and nathan played on

The last time that I saw him was at Baker Street in the woodlands. We were both drinking stout beers and had an hour long discussion about the brilliance of the soundtrack to The Dark Knight. That must have been about a year and a half ago.

I can firmly say, without any hint of hesitation, he was a good man.
