Scott Frewin (21 Mar 1968 - 4 Dec 2024)

In loving memory of Scott Frewin who sadly passed away on 4th December 2024.

Born on March 21st, 1968, in Epsom, Surrey, Scott was the youngest of two children, with his beloved brother Lee by his side. He was the cherished son of Eileen and John Frewin, and from a young age, Scott's adventurous spirit and boundless energy were clear to all who knew him. Though he wasn’t exactly known for excelling in the classroom, it could certainly be said that "bunking off" was one of his favourite subjects at Howard of Effingham School! But even in his youthful mischief, Scott’s hands-on nature and interest in mechanics began to shine.

From a young age, Scott had a deep love for cars, and that passion led him to Norfolk, where he studied mechanical engineering. It was there that his love for motorsport took off, as he joined a small racing team, not only as a mechanic but also as the artist behind the team’s vibrant colours. His weekends were filled with the thrill of banger racing and drag racing, where he learned the value of teamwork, hard work, and, of course, a bit of fun on the side.

After his studies, Scott’s career path was varied, but it was at Mole Valley Council where he found a job that suited him perfectly. As a dustman, Scott took pride in his work, always with a mischievous grin and a zest for life that made even the most challenging days feel lighter. He often spoke of the joy he found in the wind as he clung to the back of the dust cart, feeling the wind rush through his hair, almost as if he were Superman. His love for life was evident, no matter what he was doing.

But it wasn’t just his work that made Scott special—it was his ability to connect with people, to make everyone feel like family. It was at The Crown Pub in Bookham where Scott met Sarah Kirby, the woman who would become the love of his life. The connection between them was instant, and though Scott was eager to make her his wife, Sarah kept him on his toes. After 10 years, they married on July 27th, 2002, a day that would forever mark the start of a new chapter in their lives. Together, they raised two beautiful daughters, Holly and Poppy, and there was nothing Scott cherished more than being their father. His pride in them was immeasurable, and the love he gave them was boundless.

Scott’s career evolved once again when he became the caretaker at Merstham Primary School, where he became a beloved figure among the children and staff. His practical skills, endless energy, and good-natured attitude made him the perfect fit for the role, and he was always there to lend a helping hand whenever something needed fixing.

For Scott, family was everything. He and Sarah created many special memories, from family holidays to Devon and Cornwall to the warmth of Christmas at Uncle Lee’s house. Those holidays were filled with laughter, love, and Scott’s mischievous spirit. Whether it was spinning doughnuts in the snow with his daughters or leading the family in the traditional "Oh yes, we did!" chants at the pantomime, Scott brought joy to every moment. Even in the toughest times, his love for his daughters remained unwavering, and the bond he shared with them is a testament to the depth of his heart.

Though Scott’s marriage to Sarah eventually ended, their love and respect for one another as co-parents never faltered. Their shared focus was always on raising Holly and Poppy, and together, they succeeded in giving their daughters the best foundation for life.

Scott was many things to many people: a devoted father, a loving brother to Lee, a proud uncle to James, Gemma, and Evelyn, and a newly appointed grandad to Presley. His bond with Lee was strong, although they were different in many ways, they always had each others backs and their memories together will forever be a source of comfort. Scott was also a trusted friend, a colleague, and an inspiration to all who knew him. His kindness, generosity, and infectious personality made him beloved by all.

He shared a special connection with his daughter Holly, particularly when they worked on cars together. Those moments, spent bonding over mechanics and learning from one another, will forever remain in Holly's heart. And when the music played—whether it was The Prodigy, Bob Marley, UB40, or a bit of Elvis—Scott would dance with his daughters, creating memories full of laughter and joy.

Scott’s love for life also extended to his passions—Formula 1 and his beloved Chelsea FC. His enthusiasm for sports, even if sometimes accompanied by a cheeky nap during them was another example of his zest for life.

Above all, Scott was a family man. His devotion to his daughters was unmatched, and his pride in them shone through in everything he did. He may not have been famous or wealthy in the conventional sense, but he was rich in love, kindness, and generosity. He was a man of principle, a compassionate soul who treated everyone with respect and dignity.

Today, we remember Scott Frewin—a man of great character, a loving father, a cherished brother, an adoring uncle, and a true friend. He may no longer be with us, but his legacy of love, kindness, and unwavering devotion to his family will continue to live on in all our hearts. We will carry him with us in our memories, and his spirit will remain forever in the warmth of our family gatherings, in the sound of laughter, and in the joy of every moment he shared with us.

Rest in peace, Scott. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
