Scook was born in Aberdeen, Mississippi, to Walter Raymond Trice, Sr. and Bertie Ruth Weeks Trice on October 21, 1949. When he was younger, he played guitar in a small band. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and fishing. He enjoyed spending time with his family; especially his children and grandchildren.
Scook is survived by two sons, William “Billy” Trice and wife, Kija, of Mathiston, Mississippi; Kenny Jackson from the Clarkson Community; and his daughter, Sandy Helms also of Mathiston. One of his greatest joys was being “Paw Paw Scook” to his six grandchildren whom he dearly loved: Kortney Trice, Johnathan (Shelby) Collins, Summer (Gabe) Mays; Mattie Douglas; Bridgett (Chad) Johnson, and Dalton (Brianna) Jackson; and four great-grandchildren. He also leaves behind his sister, Brenda (James) Woods; and his brothers, Will (Katie) Trice and Steve (Ann) Trice in addition to his loving nieces, nephews, other family members, and friends. Scook was preceded in death by his grandson, Matthew Dylan Jackson; his parents, Bertie Ruth and Walter Trice, Sr.; two sisters, Hilda and Martha; and his brother, Phillip Trice.
