KENNEBUNK — Scott Andrew Carney, 47, of West Kennebunk, died unexpectedly on Friday, Jan. 23, 2015 at his residence.

Scott was a talented artist. He was a mason, by trade, and eventually transitioned into designing furniture. He was employed at Richardson Allen in Biddeford for 21 years, and personally designed several pieces of furniture for many celebrities.
Scott was the ultimate “Dead Head,” and was probably the biggest and most loyal fan of the Grateful Dead. He attended every concert he could, and even followed them through Europe on one of their tours.
Having never married, Scott loved animals, and considered his many dogs as his children.
He enjoyed spending time with family and friends, woodworking, stonework, and drawing.
The kindest person and gentlest soul you would ever want to meet, he never had a bad word to say about anyone. He looked out for others, especially anyone struggling in life. Always happy, he truly enjoyed living. Scott created beauty in everything he touched.
