On behalf of Sunny Point Fire & Emergency Services, we would like to invite you to attend services honoring Chief Michael L. Scott, to be held at 10:00 AM on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at the Southport Fire Department. The ceremony will include Firefighter and U.S. Army Honors in recognition of his dedicated Military and Fire Service.
Fire Department apparatus wising to participate in the procession from the Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point to the Southport Fire Department are asked to be in line no later than 9:15 AM. (address for staging below)
Chief Scott proudly served as a U.S. Army Firefighter from 1997 to 2001. Following his military career, he rose through the ranks of Department of Defense Fire Services, becoming Fire Chief at Fort McPherson / Fort Gillem at the age of 36 making him one of the youngest Fire Chiefs in DOD history.
In 2011, he continued his leadership as Fire Chief at Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point. Beyond his professional achievements, Chief Scott was extremely involved in the community, especially through his work with Boy Scout Troop 102, where he was a founding member and Assistant Scoutmaster.
Chief Scott is survived by his loving wife, Alicia Scott, his son Jackson Scott, his Father Louis J. Scott and wife Melissa Scott, his mother Shirely Scott, his brother Jerry Scott, and his sisters Tammy Ward (and husband Dennis) and McKenzie Scott.

We hope you will join us in celebrating the life, service, and legacy of a remarkable leader and beloved community member.
Staging will be along the Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point access road. Personnel will guide you once you arrive.
