Scott Rider Memorial Fund
Donation protected
This fund has been set up to help Scott Rider's family pay for medical expenses and provide support towards the educational expenses for his boys. All funds will go directly to Cathy and their boys.
On May 24th surrounded by his family, Scott left this life on his own terms. Scott was a rare blend of creative genius at work inside an engineering mind. His passion for what he could create with his hands following concepts created in his mind was always on display, and always followed by the sly grin indicating how cool it really was. Scott’s long lists of accomplishments include two Division 3 NHRA Drag Racing Championships in 1994 and 1997, along with multiple NHRA divisional race wins. He was Illinois State BMX Champion in 1988. Scott designed and developed the Delta 1 and V-Series wheels. He also has 15 patents for wheel designs and modifications. Scott’s proudest accomplishments were the USAC Quarter Midget Championship of son Garrett and NHRA Junior Dragster Championship of son Griffin.
Scott was a member of the Lawson United Methodist Church and Mendota Masonic Lodge and was a 1987 graduate of Mendota High School. Scott enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He recently purchased a motorcycle and enjoyed just going out for a ride. He was always working on a project of some kind. Scott will be remembered with great love by all who knew him, for his dedication and professionalism to his job, his gentle sense of humor, and his sweet winks and little smirks. Most importantly, Scott will be remembered for his love of his family and friends.
Any donation in Scott's memory is greatly appreciated.
