Who
Our dear friend, Scott Anderson, has passed away as a result of a motor vehicle accident last Monday. Scott is survived by his wife Jeila, his children Wolfgang and Ursula, his parents Dave and Lindy, and his sisters Laura, Joy, and Jenn. He leaves behind a loving family and the largest group of chosen family and friends imaginable. Despite our great sadness, we feel deep gratitude for the life Scott led, his time with us, and the ways in which he inspired us to live so fully.
Scott arrived in Wassaic very soon after the first festival and immediately found ways to be indispensable. He DJ'd our benefits, became the founder/director of our music program (booking the bands AND carrying the gear), and (with his wife Jeila) joined our board on day 1. He was a strategic visionary, an incredible connector, and seemingly without a limit to his energy.
Scott's worlds melded into one another with his invitation and encouragement. Deeply reluctant to accept credit for his efforts, he truly operated within the belief that a rising tide would raise all ships. It was his dream to support and witness his friends achieving their dreams. He was brilliant, playful, and so endlessly kind. We truly have never met anyone who wasn't immediately (and permanently) smitten with him.
Scott was happiest connecting all the dots, leading a procession, starting the dance floor, fixing the lighting, creating the vibe, and welcoming everyone to join in on the joke. He loved making new friends, seeing all of his old ones, and most of all, traveling with Jeila, Ursula, and Wolfgang.
There will be a public memorial service for him on July 23rd in Brooklyn, NY. This event page will be updated with more information as we receive it from the family.
Should you wish to send notes of remembrance or impact to the family, you may do so through our website email hello@wassaicproject.org. In lieu of flowers, the family requests any gifts be directed to the Urban Assembly Maker Academy's Scott Anderson Scholarship.
Most importantly, we believe, he would want all of you who knew him to make time to complete a small action of service in gratitude. Call an old friend, give someone a record, make a beautiful dinner, throw a dance party, drink the bottle of wine you've been saving… you get the point. Don't put off anything. Hug your friends and share with your loved ones your appreciation for them.
With deep love and gratitude,
Jeff, Bowie, & Eve
