Scott Rainey

April 15, 1976 - March 27, 2019

On Wednesday evening March 27, 2019 Scott James Rainey, age 42, passed away suddenly at home in Roswell, GA. He was born on April 15, 1976 in Framingham, Mass. The family moved all over when he was young, but settled in Manheim, PA where he played high school football for Manheim Central. Scott was a force larger than life. He loved all of his family and friends with his whole heart, even if he couldn’t always find the words to express it. If there was hard work to be done he would enter “beast mode” until it was finished. His cooking will be missed, he was a master at taking just a few ingredients and turning it into the most delicious meals that could feed a crowd. He battled internal demons most of his life, but always found joy hanging out with family or friends, playing online games, or watching TV or movies. Even though he lived far away from most of his family and friends he always made sure to keep up with their social media posts to feel connected. He enjoyed working with his hands and especially at his most recent job at Equipment Innovators. Scott was proceeded in death by his beloved mother Jane T. Rainey, and is survived by his father James H. Rainey (Susie) and 2 brothers and 9 sisters: Jean J. Richards (Ross), David J. Rainey (Melissa), Jane J. Horsey, Annie J. Rainey, Teresa J. Rainey, Kathy J. Rainey, Pamela J. Reichard (Adam), Nancy J. Berry (Peter), Anthony J. Rainey, Emily J. Spicher (Kyle); and 24 nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, and countless friends all of whom he loved very deeply. Scott wished to be an organ donor so in accordance with his wishes a part of him will continue to help others. The family has chosen to have a private ceremony where he will be reunited with his mother. We love you Scotch Tape, and hope now you have found the peace you were searching for all these years. Give mom extra hugs and kisses from all of us, we love and miss you both! White Columns Chapel & Cremations is honored to serve the family of Scott Rainey.
