Matthew God gave me the theme a church of a do dance and a proper praise don't let this hat fool you I'll take it off and dance in a minute because all that our help has come from it comes from the Lord that's how I know brother Dion because the Lord choose him and his wife to see the light in me and ask me to do something and I give no credit to this flesh please don't think I am but it's because of the grace of God that he and I both stand here in you today we are here by grace of God and even when we don't understand why God do what he do he said my ways are not your ways my thoughts are not your thoughts as far as the heaven is from there so it's my ways from your ways so even when we don't understand we have to give God what he deserved which is praise and honor and I praise God for the young man who has been in my life the time that he has he has lived a life of purpose and shanks of God one day we will all have to remove this common call flesh it's only a garment one day we have to pull it off I'd say to us as I believe Dion was let us be ready Fulani you know I love you the boys know I love you and I'm still mama boy just like I was before he closes I you need me you call me [Applause] praise the Lord everyone praise the Lord today was a rough day for me Alana I love you boy that's in Scott Bridget all of you I do but one thing just what I say about my friend I was doing a I'm doing a little research and I was doing it on men and fathers and when you look up the word Father in the Latin it said foodists if you in the US and the definition of it is foundation one thing I can say about Deon he was the foundation and one thing is about the foundation it what holds everything that is attached to it and one thing that I know that he did was he helped hold everyone that was dear to him and everyone that he came in contact with that's what he did and so even with even with me I had a surgery when I had my back searched he came and he came down to the car lot he's like hey I know how you can get your legs in shape this is what you can do he gave me a rope he's like you need to jump rope this is what you do they say you but this rope it would get you in enough shape till you can so you can get back in the gym you can get back to doing what you love to do and that's what I started doing jumping rope and so in this you know on this foundation that he has that he has he has created something atmosphere just like Bishop said it's an atmosphere that would never end as long as we do what we should be doing as men and women of God I believe that his legacy will continue on not just through his family but through his friends and everyone who came in contact with him so to God be the glory [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] rules still [Music] heeey the Bell the [Music] [Music] Oh [Music] my broker and [Music] [Music] can we bless the law for the awesome man of God amen [Applause] [Music] to everyone and especially this family the dictionary defines mentor as a trusted advisor but the Deon Scott is a mentor and his legacy will live on because of being a devoted husband a dedicated father a committed son a cohesive brother and he loves all of his brothers and sisters but the Deon has been the epitome of love and the Bible says that men will know that you are my disciples because of love that you have one for another and he has had nothing but love we love Him our prayers are with you family and may God bless you [Applause] praise the Lord everybody praise the Lord Amen the Bible says let everything that has breath

Derrick Boyle and their group and so we just you know started you know he came right up to me whatever after the service and I was just I was amazed by his by his playing ability but I was also amazed by his humility once we started talking and he just stuck with me and through those years my sister over here she was you know she was dating a guy and I looked at the guy and I was like this ain't the one and so I called my other brother right here I said oh oh gee I said who was the brother that was cleaning the drone tonight I said um is he dating somebody he's like um idea and I said how he said I don't think so so here's that hold on Brian I tell you what i'ma get it I'm gonna get in touch with him and so that's exactly what he did they ended up meeting exchanging numbers and all this good stuff and lo and behold they got married amen and so that was a blessing yeah your fright you can clap off that that was a blessing because not I'm very particular about my family and not that we have a perfect family but Dion fit perfectly in our family yeah and that's a huge compliment to him I want to say that you know for our family the scripture that says a friend loves at all times and a brother is born for adversity Dion was both the friend and brother he was a family man you can see his face light up whenever he talked about Falana whenever he talked about DJ whenever he talked about Kendall whenever he talked about his mama whenever he talked about Bridgette his sister and he would brag on all of their different abilities and brag on Bridgett's cakes and brag on mama's turkey wings and cuz he did love to eat like mr. Jesse said and so um he was just kind of hard to individual whenever we had issues or something like that I could call Dion and I would just be asking him for advice I hate but I hold on bro well you had I'll be right over that was the kind of person Dion was he show up with this little tool bag sometimes because I'm not I'm not I'm not that person not I can do other things but any one of them but he was show up with his tool bag and he was stay until the job was done and I greatly appreciated him he's been a big inspiration in our life he gave me and my wife some of the most valued advice that we ever ever gotten and that was a blessing within itself when we got married and that has stuck with us and like you said somebody mentioned legacy we've been passing that advice on to every couple that we meet when they ask us what's your secret we give them the advice that Dion Scott gave us amen and so like I say D I never met a stranger and if you knew him you definitely loved it and I'm gonna tell a quick story about Deon this was when we were in Tennessee and some of y'all might have heard me Taylor story before but we were in tend to see one time and Deon walked up to this elderly white lady she was working we're at Dollywood a theme park and we you know we just had chilling out here having fun and then I walked up to the lady and he said hey Shirley how you doing I mean just how big or whatever and the lady was like hey she was like you know she didn't know the arm but the I was just like always so good to see you and he actually heard the lady and this is like oh I ain't seen you in so long and so it's so good to see you and the ladies trying to figure out just like but I don't know you I just said no wait a minute now how you gonna forget me he stood there for a while and he made that lady and so after a while the lady was just like well where did I meet you and he's like you remember we used to live on and the lady filled in the blank he said yeah it's just like oh I just remember all those good times I used to just watch out for us it when we was walking home from school and the lady she just kept looking at him and she's just like sir I didn't I know I don't ever harder to get anybody's face but I'm so sorry that I can't recall I can't recall your face and the I said ma'am I'm just messing with you is that I know you don't know me and I don't know you she said well how in the world did you know my name is on your tag but that's the kind of person that he I was he was fun he was exciting he loved God and he loved the praise God and if you ever had any conversations with the eye he would end with a few things other than I love you but when he would give you instructions with him to crooked fingers like this right here he would tell you bro whatever you had to tell you point blank so the arm we want to tell you brother that we love you point-blank [Music] [Applause] the next person is coming there is a black Mercedes in the family you left your lights on please go out and turn them off if you plan to go home god bless you good afternoon giving out unto God and I'll st. some friends clergy two minutes to some eight over 40 years of brotherhood and friendship I met Deon when I was 5 years old we went to the same church together and I not too long after my bomb became closer because we experienced something in life that was very similar we both lost our fathers around about the same time roughly a year apart and through that time we we learned how to lean on each other and Deon always had a certain way of using his ministry to get through to you and within two minutes the story that I want to tell is that you know I stood in front of Dion one day and I said down you know what man I really really appreciate you and he was like wow and I said because you set an example that I want to make sure that I can follow up too and that uh you encouraged me Dion uses his special way and he kind of sits back and drops his head and he does that Dion chuckle okay then he looks up at me and he screams out you got an OD on notice you big dummy so now I'm like wait a minute I'm just opening up you know we growing up together and using the time and that only Dion can use he comes back with another one in his coin phrases got to be more careful I'm still confused but it's the genius and how he uses his ministry and Dion encouraged me more he said I've been doing the same thing to you meaning that he was looking up to me as well and I'm looking at it like Dion you know we were back in high school and I'm like well if he's doing that and I'm doing the same to him then I need to walk taller I need to make sure I carry the teachings that he was able to share with me and I share with him and as a lot of people have said already in the past year and he always entered a conversation with I love you and to God be the glory and I had the opportunity to make sure that I was able to tell him the same thing and I just wanted to let you know now di as the older brother we're always looked up to you we're definitely looking up to you now spiritually and using our spiritual mind to say you know you did a job well done man and you know and it's a testament also that the amount of people that are in here Dion made all these connections before social media Dion didn't have to text they use Facebook and Instagram Dion did the old fashioned way he picked up the phone and called you and I that just really stuck out to me and I just want to leave with that and just say you know to the family I love you if there's anything that can ever begin to to try to get close to the example that di did whatever you ask I'll do whatever I can to make sure that I can follow through to God be the glory president everybody like Darrell said this is it's hard to say but what I want to say in two minutes beyond beyond and I we grew up in the same church Nathan's temple with musicians there I don't really like to talk in front of people but you know I had to say something about my brother we were more like brothers than anything and Wendy on dad passed and he my dad used to do things for dr and I mean he took Dion as a brother as a son rather and it you couldn't tell me they always wasn't my brother because my parents they loved beyond and sometime I would call my parents they were ask you talk to Dion I'm like you know but uh growing up in the church you know we have have a lot of memories and one particular memory I have is we were doing revival and ironically I believe Alfred Williams are doing the revival in Athens temple and so we're doing the five night revival and uh the with us it was no you had to go to the altar we got saved like every revival every year and uh so this particular time so this particular time Beyonce gave a man what we're gonna do we're gonna go to the altar and I'm a count to three and when we're not kind of threw me gonna jump up start shotting and go sit down I said yeah I could do that we go to the altar you know I'm down there you know with my my eyes closed every once in a while look up trying to get Dion's attention found like got the odds attention I'm looking I'm counting three so Dianna close his eyes and I got its attention one more time and he said I'm out they start shouting and Dion was gone so now all the people that was behind the Ontarian they're behind me like your mother walking up I'm like get what up so so I'm down there now it's a few minutes I'm like I'm trying to figure out my hair like i'ma get from up here so I wait a few minutes I start crying I was crying thought Madeon for leaving me down there and a mother walking said that's it that's it that's it the Lord is using you so anyway I finally I felt I said man I said I gotta get up from here I start shouting Vic and I turn around and we chilling the front row for all those that went live in Chapel I'll turn around beyond was on the front row not sitting down but he had laid across the seat and fell asleep so I try to I try to so I was gonna go beside him and I hid inside the head but so many people looking so I just sat down and so after church the estimate what's up man what's up I said for now I bet you won't get me no more I said next time I said next time I'll be the one that count to three and I'm gonna leave you down that altar so I thank God for this be on his life you know look at Jerry Richardson uh Theophilus Smith Dion and I after Darrell went to school little Jerry and uh he was like wrestling fanatics and they called us you know call us the four horsemen over there and you know and and they started to think of saying I love you well if everybody knows me I'm that into another man I love you so I look say Chris I love it so they was like meh it's okay to say all so jira say it's okay just telling other guide that you love we're not gay I said you've been that be gay but uh all right uh but again you know and as I looked and I thought about it I've told my son you know out of the four horsemen I'm the last one left and they were all three of those guys were like great influences on me and Dionne like I said I love them I that not a day gonna go bad that I won't think of him he'd fought a good fight and he was ready to go and he'd know where he was going he didn't have a problem he wanted make sure he often tell me how much he loved for lining the boys and I just thank God for his life to God be the glory [Applause] praise the Lord everybody all glory belongs to God for he has done great things over 45 years I was blessed with my first god child which was Dion and he grew up he was always happy and he was always smiling in our conversations I would ask him how are you doing he would always say I'm good man all is well - God be the glory we always end up saying I love you and take care of yourself now Dion was appraiser he wasn't just an ordinary drummer but he was an anointed Holy Ghost feel shouting drummer he praise God in any and every circumstance and he'd never complain about anything I'm sure Dion was like Paul confident in his eternal destiny and he longed for the day when he too would be able to say absent from the body and present with the Lord whom he loved and serve and as I go to my seat the musicians would be playing like they said the Saints would be shouting and all of a sudden you were here sematic whoa that would be Dion he would jump up from the drums he would start praising God and shouting he would give God the fruit of his lips he God he gave God some serious glory and praise he danced to the glory of God well done that good and faithful servant enter into the joy of the Lord's I say to you goodnight my son I'll see you in the rapture [Applause] [Music] good afternoon everybody and praise the Lord there was so much been said about the yarn - I really don't have a whole lot to see and that's manner but and he pleased thereafter it said there's a time and purpose for everything under the heavens there's a time to live and a time to die and we thanking God for him as some say how long they know him but I know them when he was born so I was there in the beginning and I was there in the end and God made out the ending before he made the beginning and the satyrs to Lana and after he had his first surgery he will come out and be with me and he thought hey man I need some work to do I looked at him I said you know you're not able to work so I would say come on and when he gets there I said what I want you to do let your tailgate down I said you just sit right there until I need you and when I need you I'll call you but I thank God for that on today but in spiritual realm he loved the Lord and loved the place God and right now I've imagined that he was like Jesus when Jesus was on the cross and he looked back at his mama and his brother and he said mother behold thy son son behold mother and when Jesus died he gave up the ghost and when he enter and to help them at that time there was a dark cloud but one thing about anything weeping may do it for at night but there's joy in the morning and the Bible tells us say when a baby is born we ought to weep and cry but when a saint of God go home when we all get together what a time I'm talking about of time y'all and if you know Deon he looked at half a time right here so it got kind of quiet into everybody looking at one another but I want you to know that Deon came from the north a crowd and I'm closing and going to my seat but I want to put a shout in for dr [Music] [Music]
