Scott Peterson June 10, 1963-July 25, 1994 - 25 of My Personal Photos

RIP Scott Peterson June 10, 1963-July 25, 1994 Scott passed away in a tragic car accident. I know I shared some images on Scott's birthday, but I have so many more I wanted to share. The first photo was taken ringside, which wasn't something that happened often at the Sports Arena. There was no time to stop for photos or autographs between matches. When I came across this photo, I was confused. I turned it over and it was marked 6-4-88. That's my birthday, the really special one where I got photos and ringside tickets from Steve Doll. I had completely forgotten that Scott came over to wish me a happy birthday! I asked if my friend Michelle, who absolutely loved Scott, could get a picture. He was happy to. I'm so glad I have all of these photos and ephemera, or I would never remember anything!! The final photo is a shot of Scott's gravesite.
