Scott G. Sheak
Scott G. Sheak, former professional motocross racer from Germantown, New York passed away on May 18, 2021. He suffered multiple life threatening injuries while practicing for the Loretta Lynn's Area qualifier at Walden Motocross in New York. Unfortunately, he succumbed to these injuries days after and tragically passed from our lives into God's loving arms, surrounded by family embraces at Westchester Medical Center Trauma unit. He was 47 years old. Born in Hudson, NY February 24, 1974, Scott grew up racing motocross becoming one of the most promising young riders in the sport by the early 1990s. In 1997 Sheak achieved a childhood dream when he won an AMA 125 Pro Motocross National in Mt. Morris, Pennsylvania. His talent and success was undeniable, as was his humble and gracious nature. He received so much joy from training and coaching the youth he encountered both on and off the racetrack. His artistic talent can be seen in his tattoos, helmet designs and more currently in his vision of what he could do with the acres of land he lived on. His art shows through the enjoyment he got moving dirt, trees, building a pond and uncovering beautiful mountain views to share with his family and friends. Scott was an avid hunter and loved fishing and could always be found outdoors with his wife Amy who he referred to as, "the love of his life, his beautiful wife". He was a hometown country boy who, "at the end of the day," was happiest at home with his family. Scott Sheak is survived by the love of his life Naomi "Amy" Sheak, stepchildren Ryan Doyle and Brooke'lyn Doyle, Father, Wallace "Buzzy" Sheak, Mother, Karen Sheak, sisters, Stephanie (Todd) Green and Suzanne Neville, nieces Elizabeth, Mackenzie, Emily and nephews, Brett and Jake. Funeral services at the Bates & Anderson- Redmond & Keeler Funeral Home will be Thursday May 27, at 10:00am. Interment will be in Cedar Park cemetery. Visitation hours at the funeral home will be Wednesday May 26, from 3:00-7:00pm.
