With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Scott James Fox , who left this world on March 7th, 2026 at the age of 46. His passing has left an immeasurable void in the lives of those who knew and loved him. Scott was born on May 1st, 1979 in Harbor City, California and spent much of his life in San Pedro where he attended Taper Elementary, Dodson Jr High, and Mary Star of the Sea High School. Growing up, he enjoyed playing baseball, basketball and football. Scott was a dedicated longshoreman for 26 years and took immense pride in being a member of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, ILWU Local 13. His commitment to the union and his fellow workers led him to serve on the Executive Board and as a Caucus member. He was in Ship Gangs 27, 10, and 99. Through his hard work and leadership, he later became a respected Foreman with ILWU Local 94. Above all else, he was a devoted father whose love for his children was deep, unwavering, and unconditional. Those who knew him will remember his kind heart, humor, and strength. He had a way of making people laugh, helping others, and his presence brought comfort and joy to the people around him. He found happiness in cooking, fishing and playing golf, but his greatest pride and love was his family. The memories he created and the love he shared will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.

Scott was preceded in death by his aunt Joette Lavarini, grandfather Ted Jackson, and grandmother Josephine Jackson. Scott is survived by his children, Lilia, Calliah, and Mason, his mother Michele Fox, stepfather Allie Assad, sister Shannon Nichols, Godmother Sharon Lusic, nieces Joelle (Austin), Jordyn, and Jaycie, and the mothers of his children, Amanda and Alejandra, who will carry his memory with them always. Though he is no longer with us, the love he gave and the impact he made will never be forgotten.

Viewing will be held on Tuesday, March 24th, 2026 at Green Hills Chapel from 4:30pm-8:30pm and funeral will follow on Wednesday, March 25th, 2026 at 11:30am to celebrate his life and the legacy he leaves behind.

He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
