Reimer

Scott W. Reimer, 55, Altoona, passed away at his residence Thursday morning after a courageous two-year battle with ALS. He was born in Altoona, the son of Patricia (Brown) Reimer and the late William J. Reimer.

Scott married Heather McKenzie on March 31, 2000.

He is survived by his loving wife of 24 years and two sons, Connor W. and Zachary S. Reimer, both at home; one granddaughter, Tessa Rose; four siblings: Steven W. Reimer (Michelle), Shawn W. Reimer (Heather A.) and Suzanne Krider, all of Altoona, and Sharon Zelnosky (Scott) of Hanover, Md. Scott is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

Scott was preceded in death by his son, Jimmy B., sister-in-law, Amy; brother-in-law, Stephen Krider; and godmother, Patty Brown.

He was a 1986 graduate of Altoona Area High School and a 1990 graduate of Penn State University.

Scott served in the Army National Guard and was the former owner of Damon’s Grill in State College.

He was an avid sports fan, cheering on Penn State and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Scott loved coaching all the kids in baseball and football, but especially being able to coach his boys, Connor and Zachary. Scott was a great friend to many and was always one to offer help unconditionally.

Friends will be received from 4 to 8 p.m., Thursday, May 2, 2024, at The Stevens Mortuary Inc., 1421 Eighth Ave., Altoona.

A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m., Friday, May 3, 2024, at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, 5519 Sixth Ave., Altoona, with Fr. John Lynam, celebrant.

If you would like to do something for Scott as a last act of kindness, we know he would want it to be done for his boys. So in lieu of flowers, a Connor & Zach Reimer College Account, c/o Heather Reimer, has been set up at Citizens Bank, 181 Sophira Lane, Altoona, PA 16602, for this purpose.
