Rodney "Scott" Custer

Scott of Land O' Lakes, formerly of Convey, OH Rodney "Scott" Custer went home to be with the Lord Jesus on Sunday, Jan. 15, peacefully with family at home after almost 6 years battling epithelioid sarcoma cancer. He was born in Van Wert, OH on July 3, 1978, to Rodney D. and the late Jane A (Scaer) Custer. On June 1, 2002, he married Jennifer L. (Ross) Custer who survives. Scott was employed by Robins and Morton from Birmingham, AL as a Project Manager. Because of his job, he has lived in 10 different cities but was very active as a church volunteer in each of those cities. Even though Scott battled his cancer for 6 years, Jesus Christ was glorified through his Caring Bridge website and he inspired everyone that he came in contact with in his life. He loved being outside in nature, and woodworking. Scott was preceded in death by his mother Jane A. (Scaer) Custer on Dec. 23, 2011. Besides being survived by his wife Jennifer, he is survived by their two children at home who he loved dearly, Grace, 3 and Drew is 1. He is survived by his father Rodney D. of Land O' Lakes; two sisters, Jamie (Ryan) Rase of Troutman, NC and Jill (Chris) Waligora of Jacksonville. He also leaves an extended family that he loved.
