HARRISON: Scott Steven of London, formerly of Exeter
Posted By Haskett Funeral Homes On July 3, 2026 @ 4:17 PM In Exeter, Obituary | 73 Comments
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Scott Steven Harrison, who passed away peacefully and unexpectedly on July 2, 2026, at the age of 43, with his loving parents by his side.
Scott was born on September 2, 1982, to Steve and Sherri Harrison. He spent his childhood in Exeter, Ontario, where he grew up surrounded by family and friends, before later living in London.
Scott was born with a rare hereditary condition that gradually changed the course of his life. Following high school, he began using a wheelchair and lived with significant chronic pain for many years. Despite the physical challenges he faced, Scott’s sharp mind, resilience, and determination never left him. His illness was only one part of who he was, and those who knew him will remember the person beyond the wheelchair.
Scott was a true child of the ’80s who found joy in the things he loved most. He never outgrew his love of the movie Labyrinth, watching it countless times until he could recite it by heart. One line in particular, “You have no power over me,” seems to carry even greater meaning now. As a young boy, his favourite songs included “Pump Up the Jam” and “I’ve Got My Mind Set on You.” One Christmas as a toddler, Scott asked for earphones. Not realizing what he meant, his mom mistakenly bought him earmuffs instead. At Christmas, Scott innocently asked, “Where’s the music?” and everyone realized the mix-up—a family story that brought laughter for years to come.
Wheelchair hockey was an important part of Scott’s life for many years. He loved the game, the friendships it brought, and the chance to compete. His dad, Steve, was one of the team’s coaches, and they shared many weekends together at practices, games, and tournaments—time that became some of their family’s most cherished memories.
Scott also had a special place in his heart for cats and always enjoyed their companionship. He looked forward to spending time with his cousins Renee and Nelson in Blue Point, where he was always warmly welcomed and thoroughly spoiled. He also greatly appreciated the kindness and care shown to him over the years by his cousins Rhonda and Jeff. Scott was known for being incredibly stubborn and hardheaded—a trait that could be both challenging and endearing, and one that undoubtedly helped him face the many obstacles life placed before him. Those who knew and loved him will remember his determination, his sharp mind, and the unique personality that made him unmistakably Scott.
Scott was a beloved son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend. He will be deeply missed by his parents, Steve and Sherri Harrison; his sister, Rebecca (Allan) Siderius, and their children, Ivy, Harrison, and Elliot; and his brother, Nick Harrison.
He is also lovingly remembered by his aunts and uncles: Michelle (Godmother) and Dave Smith; Diane Ernteman (the late Art Ernteman); Brenda and Ron McDonald; Kim McCann (the late Mark Hallman); Joe Rau (the late Carolyn Rau); Derek (Godfather) and Tammy Rau; Shawn and Cathy Rau; as well as his many cousins.
Scott was predeceased by his grandparents, Barb and Doug Harrison, and Tony and Patsy Rau.
Though Scott endured more than most people could imagine, he was surrounded by the unwavering love of his family throughout his life. His quiet strength, perseverance, and the courage with which he faced each day will be remembered always.
The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who cared for Scott over the years with kindness and compassion.
A private family service will be held at a later date.
I am sorry to hear about Scott. You are all in my prayers.
Thank you for introducing me to Power wheelchair Hockey. The Toronto trip makes me laugh we were on the right road; who knows they were on different parts of the city.

Our deepest condolences to Steve, Sherri, Rebecca, Nick and all of Scott’s family and friends at this heartbreaking time.
I first met Sherri through our shared love of music, and from that friendship our two families created a very special bond. When the Harrisons came over to Scotland for a holiday, that friendship grew even stronger, and we were lucky enough to become part of each other’s lives.
One thing that was always clear about Scott was that his disability never defined him. Yes, Scott was different, but that difference was also part of what made him such a unique and remarkable person. He had a way of looking at the world that was truly his own. His sharp mind, quick wit, and unexpected comments could stop you in your tracks and make you think about things differently. There was something special about Scott Harrison, something that went far beyond any challenges he faced.
Scott lived life his way, with a strength and determination that many would admire. The love, support and devotion shown by his wonderful parents, brother, sister and family played such a huge part in helping him through the obstacles life placed in front of him.
My family were once invited to spend Christmas at the Harrison home, and I can honestly say we have never experienced such warmth and kindness. The welcome we received is something I still cherish to this day. Steve and Sherri didn’t just welcome us into their house, they made us feel like part of their family, and I will always be grateful for that.
At times like this, the distance between Scotland and Canada feels greater than ever. It is difficult knowing that the Pryce family cannot be there in person to stand beside you, give you a hug, and support you through such a sad time. Please know that although there are thousands of miles between us, our thoughts, love, and friendship are right there with you.
The incredible family bond you all share will help carry you through this sad time. Scott will be deeply missed by everyone who loved him. In time, I hope the pain you feel today will slowly make room for all the beautiful memories, laughter, and love that Scott brought into your lives.
Sending all our love from Scotland.
Jim, Amanda and the Pryce family ❤️💐
Thoughts & prayers are with you all!
🙏 & 💕

There are no words to express how truly sorry we are for the heartbreaking loss of Scott. 💔 Words cannot diminish the unbearable pain & loss you are feeling at this immensely sad time. Scott’s departure from your lives will leave an immeasurable void in your hearts. 💙 His earthly health struggles are over, he is now resting in peace. Although we didn’t personally know Scott, his obituary & the online condolences are all such beautiful tributes as to how he will be forever remembered. May the wonderful memories you made together as a family help you through the difficult days ahead – remember him as he was, a loving caring son. He will always be with you – his memory will forever live on, in the stories, laughter & love you shared as a family & may they heal your hearts & brings smiles through your tears. He touched the lives of so many, leaving a profound impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him. 💙
❤️ Don’t cry “because I’m gone; Smile brightly because I lived.” ❤️
Someday, not now, & perhaps not for a long while— you will remember all you shared with less pain & more joy. But for now— just know Scott is resting peacefully, free from pain, with all his Loved Ones that have greeted him with open arms. Please know that we care & share in your sadness. May you be surrounded with compassion in the love of family & in the warm embrace of friends. Sending our love & warm hugs to each one of you. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
I was heartbroken to hear of Scott’s passing.
I have such fond memories of Scott from such pivotal teenage years in my life growing up, he was effortlessly cool to me. I was lucky enough to spend two Christmases with your family in Canada, and Scott also spent a summer with us in Scotland. Those are memories I’ll always treasure.
I remember Scott as someone who was incredibly determined, quick-witted, and so laid back. He had a way of just enjoying whatever life brought and making the most of every moment. He was genuinely good company, and someone with whom you could have the most deep and meaningful discussions with but similarly have the silliest of conversations with not five minutes later. I’m grateful our paths crossed all those years ago.
My heart goes out to all of you. No words can make sense of someone being taken so young, but I hope it brings some comfort to know that Scott is remembered with such warmth and affection. Although time and distance meant we hadn’t seen each other for many years, the memories never faded. Scott was one of those people you simply don’t forget, even by friends from across the ocean.
With deepest sympathy,
Christopher & Ashley Pryce
Sherri and Family,

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your son, Scott. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
