Franklin Scott, age 85, of Jacksonville, passed away Monday, January 18, 2021.  He was born July 15, 1935 in Warrenton, Georgia to the late William and Fannie Mae Scott.  Franklin had an inborn passion for golfing and tinkering on cars and electronics. He loved nothing more than taking apart and reassembling anything he could get his hands on, both to the joy, and sometimes dismay, of his loved ones. He was preceded in death by his wife, Shirley Scott and son, Terence Scott.

Survivors include his children, Patricia Scott, Jerry (Ju Hee) Scott and Daphne Scott and Franklin's granddaughter, Kimberly Simcox.
