We
were contacted by the friends and family of Jeff Scott
to see if we could do any sort of project in his memory,
and so we set out to get to know the man Jeff had become,
and work in his honor. His friends and family were very
generous, and invited us to come and celebrate Jeff's
life with them, and then take his memory to the places
he loved around the world.
I
have to say that by being introduced to Jeff's life of
surfing, photography, friends, and family - my life has
been completely changed for the better. I had never been
to a paddle-out, nor did I know any member of Jeff's family
or inner circle other than Adrian Chang. I am overwhelmingly
grateful that I was allowed to be part of their services,
and count myself lucky to have come in contact with you
all - to celebrate the life of a man who was undoubtedly
loved - and an inspiration to all he came in contact with.
I even bought my first surfboard, and everytime I get
in the water, I thank Jeff for the gifts he has brought
into my life.
From
my experience, you can learn a great deal about people
by the company they keep, and through his friends and
family I've learned a great deal about Jeff. The dedication
and love that has been displayed has been an inspiration,
and the love shown to Jeff is still clearly felt to this
day.
Thank
you all for allowing me to learn about Jeff - I'm honored
that we have been able to be the ones to keep his memory
alive in our work in Southeast Asia.
Much
love to you all,
Barton

THE
PROJECT
With
contributions from Jeff's friends and family, we started
a family and education program in Cambodia. We have been
working with a small NGO in Cambodia, and since beginning
the project for Jeff, we have made the call to our friends
and families to help it grow, and it has... tremendously...
We
now have many families with jobs and support, and just
put 120 children in school for their first time. You can
read the full account of what the project has become
by clicking

This page will
also be a place to share your thoughts about Jeff...
Please feel free to email
barton@globalcolors.org to have your thoughts

Jeff's life embodied the
spirit of Global Colors by
his exploration of the world and connecting with people
on a personal level everywhere he went.
