I can't find his profile on the forum, did he post on an older version of the site?

Very sad, I used to catch the supporters bus with him to games in 2000.

Yeah hasn't been here for a long time, but most people would remember him. Was shown often on tv in his Tigers mask.

I'm sure ink remembers him he's one of the forum OGs
Sad that he didn't get to experience much tiger's success before passing

Ink and I were just talking about him in the jersey thread yesterday. Was definitely a character.

Vale Kingy!
I can remember Warren Smith giving him a shout out every time a cameraman picked Kingy up on TV, which made me think he must read this forum.

He was a Drummoyne boy from Memory . Scottie I think his name was. Hopefully it wasn't a heart attack after all the stress of watching us play for so long. RIP
A message from the Travers Family
It is with shattered hearts that we share the news of the untimely passing of our beloved Scottie Travers, cherished son, brother, and uncle who passed away on Monday, 5 January. Scottie was a man full of knowledge, quick wit, and unmistakable charm. A passionate Wests Tigers supporter, he wore his colours proudly all year round, deeply loyal to his team even when they sat at the bottom of the ladder. He was also a familiar face on the Cairns trivia rounds, where his sharp mind and love of learning often saw him take home the win. His warmth, humour, and generous spirit touched everyone who knew him, and his absence leaves a space that can never be filled.
A service to honour Scottie’s life will be held at Simplicity Funerals Chapel, 411 Mulgrave Road, Westcourt, Cairns, QLD, on Wednesday, 14 January at 2pm.
For those wishing to offer their condolences, share a story, or simply reach out with kindness, please contact Sharon Travers on 0412 912 587.
Those wishing to pay their last respects to Scottie are kindly asked to confirm their attendance with Michelle on 0412 121 977.
Scottie carried a quiet genius, the kind that noticed what others missed and remembered what others forgot. He understood things differently, wonderfully and the world was richer because of it.
Forever loved, deeply missed, and always remembered.

RIP KT...
@mactiger did he know your mum?
RIP Scottie.
One heck of a character and one of the most passionate fans you could find.
He was active on the Balmain forum, then here and LU in the early days.
If you ever went to the game, bus to canberra or leagues club after a game would easily see him. Will carry his flag, tiger stuffed toy and fully kitted out. The mask came abit later. He just lived and breathed the wests tigers.

Absolutely devastated and shocked.
I met Scottie back in 2006, and he has been a great friend all these years.
I came to the forum tonight to make sure you all were aware of his passing (as I do still come here from time to time as a guest and had seen him mentioned from time to time, so I knew there would be others who would want to know).
Not surprised the sad news has already reached here as he was such a big part of the WT community.
Rest in peace my friend.
