Biography: George Scott Scruggs, 67, of Little Rock, died at home October 31, 2017. He was born March 26,1950, in Pine Bluff to the late Grover and Wanda Lankford Scruggs, and was also predeceased by his brother, Gee Scruggs of Houston. Scott attended Watson Chapel schools and graduated from the UA Fayetteville where he was a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.

The tennis team was a close-knit group of friends who also canoed the rivers of Arkansas, camped, and socialized together for many years. He enjoyed his work and the many friendships developed during 23 years with First Arkansas Insurance. Scott's friends and customers knew him to be a man of his word, generous with his time and energies. He was a knowledgeable, willing, and tireless worker, and enjoyed-- at least endured-- endless projects proposed by his wife, Diane Schrantz. Survivors also include daughter, Caitlan, granddaughter, Haiden, of Junction City, Kansas, and brother, Richard Scruggs of Pine Bluff. Many thanks to Tonya and Felicia of Hospice Home Care and to dear friends and family who made possible his remaining at home to the end.
