Mr. Sherman Scott “Scotty” Marion age 65 of Shoals, NC at the foot of the mountain, passed away on October 25, 2026, at Duke Medical Center. He was born in Forsyth County on August 4, 1961, to the son of the late Charlie and Flo Wood Marion. Scotty grew up in the Shoals community working on a tobacco farm with his father and brothers. He was an active member of the Shoals community for 40 years where he played softball, coached and was President of the Shoals Softball League. He recently retired from sales in the wholesale building supply industry. Over the last 20 years along with his brother, Joel, he found a new passion in investing and pursuing business opportunities. Together they built more than just a partnership, they found another way to help others, strengthen their community, and enjoy doing what they loved side by side in developing CDM Investments. He was a faithful member of 65 years at Woodland Baptist Church in Rural Hall, NC where he was a member of the Auditorium Class. He was proud that he and his entire family was raised and saved at Woodland Baptist Church. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, brother, uncle and friend where faith and family were first and foremost. He was a man of few words and had a heavy impact on everyone he met and was the same whether working in the woods, on the ballfield, or at church on Sunday.
