Luther “Scott” Beverage, 70, of Charlottesville, Virginia, and Monterey, Virginia, passed away July 21, 2024, at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.
He was born on May 12, 1954, in Richmond, Virginia, the son of the late Charles Byron and Millie (Sullenberger) Beverage.
Mr. Beverage graduated from Douglas Freeman High School and received his associate degree from Blue Ridge Community College. He retired from Dominion Energy after more than 30 years of dedicated service.
He had a profound passion for the outdoors and hands-on activities. He enjoyed working on his family’s land, beekeeping, producing small-batch maple syrup, and crafting fine wood furniture. Every year, he cultivated an extraordinary vegetable garden, sharing its bounty with family and friends. He also cherished hunting and fishing with his friends and family. Additionally, he was an avid sports fan, particularly loving University of Virginia athletics.
His family remains inspired by his remarkable work ethic, his natural ability to master nearly any skill, his love for the outdoors, and his friendliness and sense of humor. Above all, they will remember the deep love he had for them.
His wife of 45 years, Virginia “Jennie” Beverage, survives.
Also surviving are two children, Jason Scott Beverage and wife, Christina of Charlottesville, Virginia, and Sumers Beverage Wilson and husband, Andrew of Brooklyn, New York; six beloved grandchildren, Emmy Beverage (13), Sam Beverage (11), Charley Beverage (8), Carter Wilson (11), Pierce Wilson (9), and Millie Wilson (6); his older brother, Charles Beverage, Jr. of Richmond, Virginia; and his younger sister, Elizabeth Falkner of Henderson, North Carolina.
A memorial service will be held at a later date in Monterey Cemetery at Monterey, Virginia.
