Jeffrey Scott Gouge, age 62, of Covington, Georgia, passed into Heaven on Saturday, July 31, 2021, after a struggle with Parkinson’s disease and related complications after being bedridden for months. Scott was born Nov. 27, 1958, Thanksgiving Day, in Atlanta to James Howard and Peggy Jean Gouge. He was a devout Christian who loved Jesus and knew the Bible well.

Scott loved their cat Willie and was a huge fan of the Atlanta Braves. Survivors include his mother Peggy Gouge, brothers John Gouge and wife Laverne of Covington and Brian Gouge and wife Monica of Roswell.
