Scott was born November 24, 1935, in Hinton to the late Charles S. Briers, Sr. and Mary V. Long Briers. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife of 60 years, Emily Keaton Briers, his sister Nancy Richmond, and infant grandson Christopher N. Briers. Left to cherish his memory are: three children, Greg and wife Kelly of Huntington, Jeff and wife Carolyn of Oak Hill, Susan Boland and husband Mitch of Shady Spring; nine grandchildren that loved him dearly—Grant and Delaney Briers; Sam Walters, Heather Shannon, Amy and Aaron Briers; Casey, Elyse, and Allyson Boland; six great-grandchildren—Sarah, Aiden, and Natalie Walters, Ava Briers, Lyra Briers, Lehea Shannon, and Addilynd Boland; brother Thomas B. Briers and wife Joyce of Bonita Springs, FL; special nephews and nieces Jody Richmond (Angela), Mike Briers (Chandra), Rachel Bell (Ed), Karen Lind (David), and Ronnie Keaton (Lori) also survive.

He was a 1953 graduate of Hinton High School. He attended Mars Hill College and received his BS degree in Accounting from Concord College in 1957.

Scott was a faithful lifelong member of Miller Memorial United Methodist Church in Bellepoint. He owned and operated Briers Inc. (furniture store) until he retired in 2007. He was active in many organizations and devoted to the success of Hinton and Summers County. He loved reading his Bible, traveling with Emily, and spending time with his family, friends, and especially his grandchildren.

A celebration of his life will be held Saturday, September 19 ^th , at Miller Memorial, with Rev. John Sauvage officiating. The family will receive friends from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. with the service immediately following. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Miller Memorial United Methodist Church or a charity of your choice.

The family would like to thank Dr. Jamie Blankenship, The Villages at Greystone and DaVita Mountaineer Dialysis staff who provided outstanding care and support.
