Norman "Scott" Lanham of Charleston, WV passed away at home on October 30, 2023, after a hard-fought battle with cancer.

He was preceded in death by his father, George T. Lanham; grandparents, Dallas T. Lanham (Viola Hicks) Lanham, and Clyde M. (Rebecca "Becky" Tate) Taylor.

Left to mourn his passing are his mother, Sylvia "Jean" Taylor Lanham; brother, Ronald G. (Kathy Simmons) Lanham; nephews, Stephen A. (Miranda Smith) Lanham of Charleston, David G. Lanham of Huntington; niece, Dusty Dawn (Jachovi "Covie") Hardge of Atlanta GA, along with Hannah, Ethan, Tommy Lanham; Harmony and Jachovi Jr. (Jac) Hardge, and not to forget Rebecca Jean Taylor, his "little sister".  Growing up whatever chores he didn't want to do for a few cents he could con her into doing them. He also leaves behind a host of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Friends to mourn his passing.

Scott earned his Eagle Scout award in BSA Troop 124 at Starcher Baptist Church. He was a 1984 graduate from Stonewall Jackson High School and a member of the VIPs. He then spent a year at Virginia Intermont College's music program before joining the United States Air Force. He earned a rank of Sergeant to become a medic and completed special airvac training before he left the service. He was a waiter/caterer at Joey's and Wellington and worked for himself doing construction, painting, and landscaping work until he became too ill to continue.

In honoring Scott's wishes he will be cremated.  A visitation will be from 10:00 A.M. until Noon Saturday, November 4, 2023 at Cunningham-Parker-Johnson Funeral Home, 1325 W. Washington Street, Charleston.
