A Devastating Loss of Our Student, Scott Anderson

Scott Anderson 1972-2012

We are all clearly shocked & devastated at discovering the dreadful news of our student, Scott, aged 39, suddenly passing away on Thursday 7th June, 2012.

We understand Scott became ill during the day and was taken to hospital unconscious, where doctors discovered a brain tumour, which tragically was inoperable. Scott never regained consciousness and passed away that evening.


Scott started training with us back in February 2011, along with his young son, Jake (pictured to the left). Scott very quickly became a well respected member of Okasan, in particular with other Dads training with their children. He was always keen and very much valued the time he shared, learning the art of karate, with Jake. He was a very active, hardworking, gracious, and proud family man. His karate was very impressive, especially his kicks! Due to take his 5th Kyu (blue belt) next month, we had visions of him not only passing, but one day gaining a 1st Dan Grade (black belt) alongside Jake.

Scott will be mourned and greatly missed by everyone at Okasan.

We send our whole hearted sympathies, thoughts and prayers to his wife Caz, and two young children, Jake, and daughter, Kallie, and to the rest of the family.
