The ESPN family and fans are mourning the loss of the legendary ESPN sports anchor Stuart Scott, who passed away from cancer on January 4, 2015 at the age of 49. Scott was well known for his energy that he brought to the media in the sports world, especially his quotes and antics when commentating. Stuart not only moved throughout his colleagues lives via ESPN, but also athletes and fans around the world. Scott had phrases such as his historic "booyah", and "Just call him butter cuz he's on a roll". He introduced his own style and swag to the industry and also the hip-hop culture, where he never tried to change to accommodate others but proved his on air talent was authentic. Mr.Scott impacted many lives, and set the standard being a pioneer for African Americans in the sports broadcasting world. Even while fighting his battle with cancer Scott remained passionate and dedicated to his duties as an analyst which showed true perserverance for the love of his job. Stuart will not only leave his legacy behind, but also his two daughters which he loved dearly, and his main reason for fighting his battle for as long as he did. The legendary Stuart Scott was one of a kind in his words "cool as the other side of the pillow". He will be truly missed and may his legacy live on forever.
