Wilmington, Mass. — Friends, family, and neighbors are mourning the sudden loss of Scott Dunnett, who died unexpectedly on September 12, 2025, at the age of 37. His passing has left loved ones and the wider community heartbroken, as they remember a man whose generosity, laughter, and devotion touched countless lives.
Scott is survived by his wife, Becky, and their three children — Kenzie, Avery, and Zak — who were the center of his world. A devoted husband and father, he was known for cheering from the sidelines, helping with schoolwork, and coaching his kids’ sports teams. Those closest to him say his love for his family was steady and unwavering, and his presence brought warmth and joy to every gathering.
Beyond his role as a family man, Scott was a loyal friend, a dedicated mentor, and an active member of the community. His passion for coaching, particularly through the Tyngsboro Youth Soccer Association (TYSA), reflected his belief in teamwork, sportsmanship, and encouragement. Most recently, he coached his daughter’s Bantam team, leaving behind cherished memories for the young athletes and their families.
In a tribute to Scott’s impact, TYSA has invited players and families to honor his memory by wearing their jerseys. On Sunday, September 14, at 8:45 p.m., a police escort will travel through the intersection of Wildwood Street and Woburn Street in Wilmington, offering a moment for the community to gather and reflect on Scott’s legacy.
As news of his passing spread, friends and supporters quickly rallied to support Becky and the children. A fund has been created to help ease the unexpected financial burdens, allowing the family to focus on healing and celebrating Scott’s life.
The Dunnett family has expressed deep gratitude for the outpouring of prayers, donations, and kind words during this difficult time. While his absence leaves an enormous void, they take comfort in knowing that Scott’s kindness, spirit, and dedication will continue to live on in the lives he touched.
Scott Dunnett will be remembered as a loving husband, a proud father, a steadfast friend, and an inspiring coach — someone who gave freely of his time and heart, leaving an enduring imprint on all who knew him.
