Scott Chrane McKittrick passed away at his home in Georgetown, TX on the morning of December 28, 2021 at the age of 67. He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Tone McKittrick, his son and daughter-in-law Russell and Lorraine, their children Patrick and Catherine, his sister Mary Jane McKittrick and sister-in-law Iris Strachan and her children Caleb, KC and Caroline.

Scott was born on January 6, 1954 to Rex and Mary Jane McKittrick in Pasadena California. As a young man, Scott lived an active life under the warm California sun where he met the love of his life Liz, and cultivated what became a life-long passion for flying airplanes. He grew up during a time of great change in America, and the world, when jet airplanes first began leaving their trails in the sky, and people still remembered and spoke of the golden age of aviation. Scott was so determined to be a pilot that he obtained his private pilot's license before his driver's license. He did this while attending Agoura high school, where he met Liz, and graduated in 1972. In 1976 he graduated with a bachelor's degree from CSU Northridge, which he obtained for the sole purpose of qualifying to fly for commercial airlines. During those early years Scott worked as a flight instructor for an outfit called Skyroamers, and occasionally piloted some wild flights with Liz and their friends. On October 21, 1979 Scott and Elizabeth became husband and wife.

Scott's career flying jets began with some legendary experiences, which included flying for Disney under the internationally recognized call sign MM (Mickey Mouse) as well as traveling all over the world in the cockpit of a 747 for the Flying Tigers freight airline; however, his life and career permanently changed with the birth of his son Russell in 1984 and hiring on at Alaska Airlines in 1985. Scott went on to complete a 33 year accident free career for Alaska Airlines upon his retirement as a captain in 2019.

In 1987 the family moved to Redmond Washington, where Scott commuted to SEA-TAC airport and raised his family under tall conifer trees and a horizon dotted with snow capped peaks of the cascade mountain range. During their time in Washington State, Scott and the family had many adventures, including fishing and camping trips, neighborhood parties, Russell's sports, and trips to the Kingdome where the crowds roared amidst the snap of a Randy Johnson fastball. The family moved down to Carlsbad California in 2000, where Scott continued to participate in Russell's Sports. In 2006 Scott's love for the Pacific Northwest brought him and Liz to SIsters Oregon where they once again breathed mountain air and had many RV travels and adventures with their friends and Cavalier Spaniel puppies, Chase and Kate.

In 2019 Scott and Liz began a new and wonderful chapter in their lives when the new grandparents-to-be moved to Texas to be closer to Russell and his wife Lorraine who gave birth to Patrick in 2020, and Catherine in 2021. In this last chapter of Scott's life, he was close to
family and had special times as a grandfather.
