Two possible overdose deaths at Johnson & Wales

I would like to add that there was much more to Scott Beider than just a culinary student at Johnson and Whales. He was a competitive gymnast for most of his life achieving Jr. Elite status at the age of 14. He competed at many competitions around the state and country. He was a Regional team member in 1998 at the USAG Junior Olympics in Houston TX and an AAU Junior Olympic National Class 2 Champion. Scott will be greatly missed by all who knew him and services have been arranged at the following location:
Menorah Gardens & Funeral Chapel
9321 Memorial Park Rd
West Palm Beach, FL

If anyone would like to know more they can contact me at cpavao@bellsouth.net.

Scott was a dear friend of mine. Great all around guy. Smart, funny, caring, always willing to help out, just a great friend. i'll miss him.

Scott, i will miss you! One of the best guys to be around, we had great times! Always respect to you!

That is terrible. My condolences go out to his mom, dad, and brother. He will be missed.

We all hate to see our friends and relatives die. But it goes on. I had many relatives die and friends die over the last five years. It has taught me that life is short so make something of it otherwise you too will die without making anything out of your life.

Scott....One year has passed since you have gone.There is not one minute that goes by without me thinking of you. I miss You terribly and you will be in my heart forever. I love you very much....Dad

I wish there was some way to reconcile the fact of your passing, yet there is no word, belief system, or school of thought that could even begin to address the fact that you will never return. Goodbye

Scott...Today would have been your 25th birthday.Thanksgiving was ever more special because we celebrated your birthday ....Now since you`re gone, it is hard to get excited about holidays.It`s as if the sun`s brightness has diminished.There is a part of me that is gone forever.I miss you so much. I hope that one day I`ll be able to understand all this......Love Dad

Scott was more than jut a friend to me he was more like a big brother I knew Scott since I was two years old he was always their for me I watched him compete in gymnastics competitions all the time he was amazing. You were an amazing friend and a great big brother i will always love you and keep you in my heart. Its hard to know you are dead and i cant believe I'm typing this almost 3 years later but its been hard to accept the fact that your gone. I heard it from Jesse's mom, Phil and even Marissa but i couldn't believe it. I miss you so much but i know i will see you again in heaven but for now your always in my heart. I LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN
XOXOXOXOXOX

Scott..... 2 years have passed since you have been gone.It is so very hard for me to accept that I`ll never see you again or hear your voice .I miss you so much.......Love Dad

My dearest Scott,
Mother's Day just passed, that is a day that I will never forget. You left us 2 years ago the day before that we lost you. There is not 10 minuntes that go by that you are in my thoughts and prayers. There are days that I don't think I can go on, but, I need to go to heaven to be reunited with you again some day. There are no words to describe how much I miss you, and I can't get over the loss of such a precious man that had so much potential in life. I remember the last time I saw you, when you called me that Tuesday before the 13th, and we went to dinner and a movie, and I saw how bad you were doing. I tried to get you to come with me, you know I would have helped you out, whatever it took. But I guess you couldn't stop the drugs..........
We all make choices, and my heart is broken forever over the loss of you. You probebly will never understand the wake and quake you left behind in your passing. As a mom, I always still wonder, what would you be when you grew up, would you marry, have children, how many, what would there names be, would you be happy, joyful, and free? I will never understand what happened to you, and I wish you would have let me help you. I miss you so very much every day of my life. I believe in God, and know I will be reunited with you again one day. Wishing you were here..........Matt and I can finally reminiss the funny things we all use to do together, or I see something or someone that reminds me of you, so I guess I am getting a little better over the loss of my most precious son.

Love you, and miss you constantly, you are in my thoughts always.

Love you,

MOM

What a day!!!
Here I am, sitting on my sofa in Sweden, and searching to find some update information about you... started at facebook- with no luck!
Then I started to Google and I found this page were I got the information that you are not with us Scottie!! Tears are coming down my chin... of course I thin then about Debbie, Randy and Matt...
For all of you who doesn't know me, I can tell you that I meet Scottie the first time when he was a baby! I think he was 15 months when I came... What a boy! We were singing, swimming and I were with you when you started your gym education :)!!
I still can remember and see you when you drove around in the kitchen and polightly asked my mother- who were on visit from Sweden- to move " could you please move"... and I were standing in your way... saying MOVE NANA!:) You always knew how to behave then... I really wonder what happened then Scott!
Love you... always!
XO

Thank you for writing such nice things about my son Scott.He would have been proud , especially coming from you. My best memories are when Scott competed in gymnastics and all the fun and excitement that it brought. What made it even more special was meeting nice people like your family ....laughing and talking etc. I hope your son is doing well....and all is well with your family. Again , thank you for the nice thoughts. God bless you .....Randy Beider

This is the 3rd anniversary of Scotts death. All I have left are photographs and memories of a life ended far too soon. Snippets of audio and video of my son that I love so much. Joyous memories have been replaced by tears of sorrow for a life that held so much promise. May God grant my son Scott eternal peace

Randy / Debbie,
I am truly sorry for your loss. My wife and I lost our daughter (Angela) several years ago at the age of twenty five. There is no way to decribe the emptiness and heartache from it. All we have left is the memories and what could have been.
Parents were not built to bury their children!
Time will help heal you, but you will always miss Scott and you will never forget him. Hopefully someday we will all be united together with our children on the other side.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you....Bill&Bab's
