SCOTT ALLEN WALLACE
of Maumelle passed away on November 19, 2022. Scott was the loving father of Natalie Williams and the doting grandfather of his “buddy”, Luke Williams, both of Maumelle. He is survived by his mother, Betty Wallace, brother Greg Wallace (Stephanie) of Fuquay Varina, N.C., sisters Jo Ellen (Bill) Stover and Sarah Hickman of Little Rock. He is also survived by niece, Hannah Wallace, and nephews, Collins Hickman, Miles Hickman, Drew Agar, and Sam Wallace. He was preceded in death by his father, Eugene Wallace, and his nephew, Jake Agar.
Scott was born in Little Rock on October 1, 1961. He was a graduate of Little Rock Catholic High School for Boys, where his success as a student athlete earned him a place on the University of Arkansas Razorbacks football team. After an early injury ended his time on the field, Scott remained an active member of the Sigma Chi fraternity chapter at the U of A where he made lifelong friends. After college, Scott embarked on a dynamic career path where his entrepreneurial talents allowed him many successes. While he often operated several businesses concurrently, many people will remember him as the owner of the local favorite restaurant, Bruno’s Little Italy in Little Rock for 22 years. Throughout his career, Scott found success as a merchant, landlord, talk-radio host, restauranteur, and most recently, as the owner of the roofing and home improvement company, Reliant Roof Pros.
Scott was dedicated to serving others and actively participated in organizations that support the community. In addition to supporting the ministries of The Summit Church, he served on various governmental committees and was involved in the Republican Party of Arkansas, including running for public office. He was also proud to be a volunteer Deputy Sheriff for several years. Above all, Scott was generous with his time and talents for causes that touched his heart. A favorite charity of his is the annual Toys for Tots drive, in which he escorted the reigning Miss Arkansas in the parade on his shiny, yellow Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
In his leisure time, Scott was an avid golfer and was a member of the Southern Golf Association. He had the opportunity to travel and experience some of the most elite courses in the nation. When he was not on the links, he enjoyed motorcycle riding and most recently, spending time with his grandson. He will be remembered for so many outstanding qualities including his huge heart, booming laugh, and enthusiasm for life. He was a talented chef, rollercoaster enthusiast, and fireworks artiste. Above all, he was a loving son, brother, father, grandfather, and friend whose memory will be cherished.
Funeral proceedings will be Saturday, November 26th from 1-3 p.m., at The Summit Church in North Little Rock. Arrangements made through Roller-Chenal Funeral Home. Online guestbook: www.rollerfuneralhomes.com/chenal
