Scott Robert Moody, 18, of Bellefontaine, died Sunday, May 29, 2005, in his home along west State Route 47.

He was born in Bellefontaine on Aug. 12, 1986, a son of Steve R. (Audrey) Moody, who survives in DeGraff, and the late Sheri Kay Shafer, who also died Sunday, May 29, along with his grandparents, Gary and Sharyl Shafer. His paternal grandfather, Robert Moody, also preceded him in death.

Survivors include a sister, Stacy M. Moody of Bellefontaine; three half-brothers, Steven R. Moody, Christopher R. Moody and Adam R. Moody, all of DeGraff; paternal grandmother, Joan Moody of Bellefontaine; three aunts; and several cousins, nieces and nephews.

He was a member of the Riverside High School Class of 2005, the First United Methodist Church in Bellefontaine, the Liberty Livestock 4-H Club and Riverside FFA.

A farmer, his family owned Sha-Ker Farms. He showed cattle in the Logan County and Ohio State fairs and won several trohpies and ribbons.

Pastors William Zeller and Wayne Downing conduct a funeral at 11 a.m. Monday at Rexer-Riggin-Madden Funeral Home in DeGraff, where calling hours are from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday. Burial is in Greenwood-Union Cemetery in DeGraff.

On the morning he was to graduate high school, Scott Moody walked a half-mile to his grandparents' farmhouse and began what authorities say was the first stop in a gruesome murder-suicide that ended in six deaths.

According to investigators, Moody shot his grandparents with a .22-caliber rifle before heading home, where he went from bedroom to bedroom, shooting his mother, teenage sister and two friends before killing himself.

The only survivor — Moody's critically wounded sister — used her cell phone to call for help.

Scott Moody and Karus were to have graduated Sunday afternoon from Riverside High School in nearby De Graff. School officials, who had only minutes of notice about the deaths before the ceremony began, held graduation as scheduled and announced the shootings afterward.

Two seats remained empty at the commencement.

He is survived by his father Steve.
