Scott Douglas Heffner's Obituary
Scott Douglas Heffner, 51, of Gainesville, FL, passed away September 21, 2022 after a
courageous battle with cancer.
He was born in Baltimore, MD, and graduated from Salisbury University and Jacksonville State
University. For the last eleven years he was employed by the City of Gainesville as Employee
and Labor Relations Manager.
Scott loved to run, play basketball, skateboard, listen to punk rock music and watch his favorite
teams, the Maryland Terps and Baltimore Ravens…sometimes all in the same day. He had a
brilliant mind and wicked sense of humor. He was a devoted husband, father and caring friend
to so many.
He is survived by his wife, Samantha, and children Abby and Jack; his parents Ron and Peggy
Heffner; brother Mark Heffner (Kimberle); sister Julie Sutton (David); brother Kevin Heffner
(Jackie); nieces and nephews Brett, Caroline, Katelyn, Holly, Emily and Cory; mother-in-law
