Scott G. Cremer, 56 of Edwardsville passed away at his home on Sunday, April 18, 2021.
Scott was born on October 24, 1964 in Ottumwa, IA. Scott was a Physical Therapy Assistant for Legacy Rehabilitation in Iowa City, IA and had a special artistic talent for painting. Scott loved nature, especially flowers and violets in his yard and spent his time bird watching. Scott will be remembered for the love of his family and all the special times they shared.
Scott is survived by and will be missed by his mom; Justine Livesay; brother, Shaun Cremer of Dubuque, IA; half brother, Travis Cremer of Chicago, IL; half sister, Angela Cremer of Ottumwa, IA and many other close family members and friends.
Scott was preceded in death by his dad, Paul Glenn Cremer.
According to Scott’s wishes he will be cremated.
Scott and I got sober in early 90s together, lived together for a handful of years during that era, too. A few of you guys from Iowa knew him well during those years. In the late 90s our lives took different paths and we were never as close, but I’ll always be grateful for the good times my brother and I shared.

Son-we gonna make it. I dont have any say n how that happens or even any specific notion of what that means-not really. I just know its a matter of ‘WHEN’ not ‘IF’ & when we do-we will understand the answer 2 both of those things. I love u little man, Scott. Be gentle 2 yourself :-|

Lot of peeps here think i unconventionally ‘won’ the game & therefore will b around til i give up the ghost. Regional Mgr. who is decent friend say few day ago, ‘after a while person prove 2 me their worth-cant do no wrong & u planning on dying here, right? B4 i could say ‘no’ he talking bout me making some ‘real money’ & cutting my hair & wearing one of their’ fruitloop shirts & khakis. He dont get it. I like the job cause i was autonomous, got paid 2 exercise & if spirit moved me practice presence n morn & make floor shiny & plus n some way i dont completely understand pay ‘homage’ 2 art. The Revs & many @ church r real friends but been talking of me on committees & ‘think tank’ 4 how 2 greet & treat new potential members. I just like being still, nice,
& going cause it has good spiritual ‘happy’ feel, peeps aint ‘whacked’ on jesus like some sort of bad meth & Rev was good counselor 4 me when i really needed one. Believe jesus name came up bout 3 times n first yr of sessions :^). Howev, 4 me 2 get entrenched n a cause that still ultimately spiritually one dimensional & can significantly limit their growth-isnt my primary purpose-if they started paying me that would make it even worse. I can move comfortably within different socio-economic, cultural, racial & religious groups & i have started attracting & do not want 2 promote & could not lie 2 people that this was the totality of my belief system-cause closed systems inevitably lead 2 spiritual atrophy then decay. I hope they remember reason they liked
me n 1st place was i WAS different & told rev & others my beliefs sometimes were comforting but my actual spirittual shifts or experiences were life-altering & when that happens u r far less belief oriented & thrust n2 a realm where u KNOW. Regardless, i could prattle on n this way about mom, Andrew Carnegie Foundation, Library howev with u-ive already said more than enuf. U ‘get it’ I have plateaud with good i can do here & 2 keep doing it would b redundant. Which doesnt mean i dont hold this place n high regard & the x, fellowship & freedom i was alloted will never b 4gotten. Its just x 2 find more teachers & students & n some way that goes beyond words…2 move on. I love u, life should not be an endurance test. & as always more will be revealed.
In human terms of conventional life I passed point of safe return long x ago. U have not. There’s old Zen proverb that I think is sound enuf 4 u 2 think bout evry once & awhile whether u stay put or ‘let go & become one with the wind’ It say, do not seek 2 follow n the footsteps of the Masters of old, instead, seek what they sought :^)

It feels like another one of my ‘life cycles’ here is coming 2 an end. Its x 2 wander again. Let go. Dont worry Im not heading up 2 Chi-town, only u, Dave Halen & damn polar bears can handle that funniness. Nor IA, CA, KS, FL, Death or Jeebie World (least not yet :^). Having defined where Im not going that leaves possibilities pretty open. The life Ive known here, the most meaningful ever known. Closest friends I have ever had (fam doesnt count :^) ). I have been a good son, brother (@ least 2 Weist) nephew & friend. After little shindigging I settled down & made some decent art & delightfully bizarre & deranged stories. I became good citizen n several different ways, a good worker, & most important good progression toward my spiritual goal.
I truly did love & appreciate vast majority of the moment Ive spent here-now tho x 2 go. Im sorry that 4 a change going 2 leave ‘a hole’ n some people’s lives but God will refill them easy enough if they remain open & willing 2 being refilled…Im not n trouble with anyone, even Rev James. He knows my orneriness & there was more than enough truth n my story bout what lead up 2 crucifixion, that he well-with him & most others round this neck of woods-i really cant do much wrong. Its just that nothing last 4ever n this place & i know i changed some perspective & lives 4 the better here, some profoundly & now Im supposed 2 do that somewhere else…maybe thats what ive always done but Im just lot more aware of what took place here. Anyway, its not a matter of
‘If’ but only ‘when’, but rest assured, when it happens it will be Now :^). Happy Easter & love 2 u & yers, sgc

Who lies on sheets of ice? Who pays 4 paradise? After the reign-after the rain. Who took the gold from their’ teeth? Who takes the ancient masterpiece? After the rain-after the reign…I always wondered how AC spelled that cause n verses it sounds like Nazi shenanigans but the chorus sound like raining-think it was about both craftily intertwined.

Those were highly volatile bits of sarcasm that billions of people would find extremely offensive. The bottom line is, it is secretly how most of them actually think & i, on the other hand, dont think or feel like that at all. So where does it come from? The collective cesspool of the best thinking of western civilization & humanity n general. I pull it from the cloud of genocidal smog.

if I didnt have a fear of fire, i might put my hand in it & get burned. (Response by Tolle); The reason y u dont put your hand n the fire is not because of fear, its because u know that you’ll get burned. U dont need fear 2 avoid unnecessary danger—just a minimum of intelligence & common sense. For such practical matters, it is useful 2 apply lessons learned n the past. :-D

My creativity isnt done either-shoot-i might very well be co-creating the next illusion im born n2 :-D & all art & letters lost n the past were experienced by those who needed them. I believe that especially after several trips 2 various places past. Some @ levels unknown 2 me within myself were left as markers, things i had completely 4gotten creating appeared n homes of people i had know idea i gave them 2. Anyway, the desire 2 create A&L is not around or sex or money or things but that doesnt mean i wont reach a higher ideal-just comfortably plateaud right now-hell i got a bucket & mop & now that i think about it-a book about birds i bought from library :-D
It takes alot of creativity energy 2 manufacture a an illusion, allow the infinite power of your consciousness 2 tighten up the nuts & bolts of the physics, fill n the blank spots, & the like so it will b believable enuf when u r born there. :-è

My whole life 2day is sort of about honoring the past without living n it, i accept myself 2day, 4 most part & aint living with my head n past or future pretty good bv when u & i’s relationship n the past popped n2 my present moment, thats how i deal with past now, not sweat & cipher & wring my hands, i did that 2 point of redundancy & with another person we both know, she say, ‘yeah, we’re fukn good & what u can do is NEVER BRING IT UP AGAIN!!!’ I say, ‘oh’ & so thats how its been. Alot of others actf like I was outta my mind-my fukn insanity was big joyride & if table turned i dont believe thats how i would have perceived it. Jimmy crops n2 my present every now & again cause he did me alot of good & i self-righteously shit on him when he was down.
there were many occasions when he needed a real friend & despite his skills & intuition & knowing i had turned n2 a self-righteous, moralizing reactive prick-he turned 2 me & got his fingers bit by the wounded animal he knew i was. I could be everything but a friend..Just learning bout it now really. I came 2 terms with Jim & I might bump n2 eachother again & if we dont well-it was just best 2 leave it alone… but KNOW i was wrong with him & about him & gave him some really scathing, seething sermons when that bout the last thing he needed. With some others i can say i was big fukhead but when chips were really down i came thru…not so with jimmy-when he really needed me…i failed him everytime :-( but @ l do know it & accept it & can move 4ward.
