"See the positive of yourself because you are the best; on top of anyone else's shelf; and if anyone tries to drag you down; you pull them up and hand them your crown." - Scott Dansker
Scott Dansker, a resident of Darien, Connecticut and a High School
student at Admiral Farragut Academy passed away suddenly on Friday,
April 23, 2021 in St Petersburg, Florida. Scott was a triplet born on July
29, 2004 to Brad and Serina Dansker. He was 16 years old.
From the moment he was born, Scott’s inner joy, magnetic personality,
and charm captivated everyone he met. He was a bright star who lit up
every room he entered. He had a passion for politics and debate and
would challenge anyone to take him on. Scott was also an old soul who
enjoyed the Golden Oldies “80’s” music, and his great dance moves
made him the life of the party. In his short life, Scott wrote original
poetry, cared deeply about his community, and enjoyed wrestling,
scuba diving, sailing, and camping. A place where he felt he was his
most true self was Camp Hazen. His love of science and nature in
addition to the lifelong friendships he made there made Camp Hazen
his second home. He was a Boy Scout, Venture Scout and the Senior
Patrol Leader of his troop in Florida. He will be widely missed by family
and friends.
Scott is survived by his parents, Brad and Serina Dansker; his two
siblings, Jake and Lexi Dansker; and his grandmother, Joan Cioffi.

Scott's poetry
Background I feel like the background to everyone’s story i lead them to success and glory While I get left behind in a quarry Most of my poems are allegory’s But this one is just exemplary I’m trying to show that even though many people know my name I still feel like I’m behind a frame It’s like a board game And my piece never gets played I just sit there and watch As time goes tic tock Making my life become a writers block I am the atopy Which makes my entire existence a photocopy -Scott Dansker
