David Lee Scott, Sr., of Greensboro, passed away peacefully at his home on May 7, 2025. 

David was a Greensboro native, and he retired from Cone Mills after over 40 years of service.  David served in the United States Armed Forces and the Korean War.  He rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant before his honorable discharge.  David will be buried on May 17, Armed Forces Day, which is especially fitting for this proud Army Veteran.  David served on several committees over the years on his neighborhood’s HOA. 

David enjoyed golfing, fishing and spending time at the beach, especially Emerald Isle. 

David is preceded in death by his mother, Mary T. Scott, his father, Floyd R. Scott, his grandmother, Eunice Teague, and his son, Jeffrey Lee Scott. 

David is survived by his loving wife of almost 30 years, Patricia Sykes Scott; son, David Lee Scott, Jr (Tina); stepdaughter, Kimberly D. Collins (Brian); stepson, Michael A. Simpson (Liz); and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. 

A graveside service will be held on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at 2:00PM at Lakeview Memorial Park, 3600 N. Ohenry Blvd, Greensboro, NC 27405.  The family will receive friends and family after the service.
