It is with deep respect and heartfelt sorrow, we announce the passing of Pierre A. Scott Jr., who departed this life on April 9, 2026, in San Antonio, Texas after a short battle with Lymphoma.

Born on May 29, 1943, in Vicksburg, Mississippi, Pierre was raised in Tallulah, Louisiana, where he developed the values of dedication, discipline, and strength that would define his life.

In 1963 Pierre began his distinguished military career and proudly served his country with honor and distinction in the United States Air Force. His military career spanned 20 years of dedicated service from 1963 to 1983 in which he earned commendations and honors, serving time in the Vietnam, Philippines, Alaska and various other stations. Served as Crypto Instructor while stationed at Lackland AFB, San Antonio, Texas. Stationed at the Pentagon in Washington , DC from 1978 – 1983 he served with the 2044th Communications Group which led him to proudly provide secure communications to then U.S Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger under President Ronald Reagan, the National Military Command Center, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Defense Intelligence Agency, NASA and other agencies vital to national defense. This position allowed him numerous travels to Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, and many other destinations around the world. After his military retirement, he was employed by Northrup Grumman as Systems Engineer, again traveling all over the country and retired after 24 years. Lastly, he contributed with his employment with Alamo City Engineering Services, Inc., a Computer and Network Security Firm. His legacy is one of pride, service and joy in all his endeavors in work and in life.

He was preceded in death by his father, Pierre A. Scott Sr. and his mother, Carrie Albert Scott. He is survived by his loving wife, Sylvia Scott, his brother Joseph M. Scott, nephew Patrick Scott, his son Pierre A. Scott III and family, his daughter Pamela A. Hood and family, his stepson John A. Davila and wife Diana, step-grandson Dominic J. Davila and 3 month old step-great grandson Arlo Havelik Davila, step-grandson Zachary Ramirez, sister-in-law Betty Mendoza and family, brother-in-law Jesse Davila and family, along with many extended family members and countless friends whose lives he touched. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, and he will live in the hearts of those he leaves behind. May he rest in eternal peace.

The family is grateful to the staff of Compassus Hospice and the Audie Murphy VA Hospital for whom, while only of service to the family for a brief time, were immensely gracious, kind, and caring.
