We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Scott Dagg on December 14, 2023. He passed away peacefully with his wife Leslie at his side, after a brave eight-month battle with cancer. He was a native of Vancouver, loving son of Russ and Barb Dagg.
Scott's passion for cars and engines of all kinds was well evidenced throughout his life. It was this passion, coupled with his love of the open road, that led him to countless adventures on his Harley's, cars, trucks, and snowmobiles. But his mechanical knowledge and abilities were not all there was to this special man.
He was incredibly intelligent and had a brilliant capacity for comprehension and calculation. He was known for his sharp wit, keen analytical mind, and remarkable mathematical abilities.
Scott's humour and intelligence made it highly unlikely for him to ever go unnoticed in any room he occupied. Once you knew Scott, you loved Scott.
Professionally, from a young age, Scott owned and operated his own businesses with great success. After being a businessman for years, and rebuilding 100's of engines and cars, his love for driving became the next profession where he found tremendous fulfillment. His role as a truck driver went beyond mere driving; he relished mentoring new drivers, never missing an opportunity to impart his wisdom and experience upon others.
Although his exterior was stern, those who were lucky enough to know him discovered his true generous, warm-hearted nature. His colleagues were more than just workmates; they were part of his extended family.
Above all, Scott was a family man. For Scott, family came first. He was always there for all his family, immediate and extended, especially during difficult times. He never had a negative word. He gave his family the experience of feeling utterly loved, understood, and protected. It was love-at-first sight for him and his wife Leslie; when they were just "kids" as he would say. They shared an incredible love story, and he will be deeply missed.
Also, feeling a tremendous loss are his stepson Curtis, daughter-in-law Hana, and his adored dogs Ed & Sadie. His profound dedication to his family was evident daily, in every gesture of love, and each moment of genuine patience. There was not a day that Scott didn't make his family his priority. He will be missed terribly by all of us.
Scott's untimely passing has had a profound impact on his family, many friends and all who knew him. His life, though far too short, was a journey filled with love, laughter, and a fearless pursuit of his passions.
In keeping with Scott's wishes, a memorial service and ride/drive will be organized in the Spring of 2024.
