Scott E. Chaney, 45, of Aurora passed away Saturday, December 3, 2011 at Provena Mercy Medical Center. He was born December 13 1965 in Aurora, IL.

Scott was employed as a truck driver for many years, most recently at Fed Ex. He enjoyed golfing, traveling, and loved hiking at the Smokey Mountains, where he traveled to often. Scott loved his family and enjoyed frequent visits with his cousins. He had many life-long friends and had a self deprecating sense of humor. Where ever Scott was, he was always the "life of the party". Scott will be missed by all who knew him, including his dog Baron and the friends he made at the dog park.

He is survived by his father Bob (Lucy) Chaney of Elgin, IL; his brother Dan Chaney of Stillwater, OK; his 2 sisters Susan (Mark) Siekierski of Batavia, IL and Sandy (Jess) Davies of Hinckley, IL; 4 nieces and nephews Kyle and Madison Davies and Hope and Matthew Siekierski; and his best friends Mark Erickson and Kim Hoffman.

He is preceded in death by his mother Betty Jean Chaney and his maternal and paternal grandparents.
