SCOTT D. BANKS

Scott Dennis Banks, Annapolis, Maryland, passed away on February 27, 2021 after a short but tenacious battle with brain cancer. Scott was born in Oxnard, Calif., to Dennis and Claudia (Kite) Banks on April 1, 1969.

Scott was a 1991 graduate from the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. After Undergraduate Pilot Training at Vance Air Force Base, Enid, Okla., he flew the C-141 at McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey. Upon separation from the Air Force, Scott pursued his career as commercial airline pilot, most recently with United Airlines.

Scott will be remembered by those closest to him as a diehard fan of the New York Yankees and Rangers with a dry sense of humor, quick wit, and an engaging zest for life. Scott loved to fly and play hockey. His contribution as a Coach to local youth hockey and baseball players left a lasting, positive impact upon his community.

His real passion was his family. Married 17 years, Scott and his wife, Katie Dunn, raised two beautiful sons. Scott is survived by his wife Katie, sons, Jimmy (17) and Joey (15), his parents Dennis and Claudia Banks of Southport, N.C., and brother Jeff (Roxanne) Banks, of Alexandria, Virginia.

Scott’s ashes will be interred with military honors at the Air Force Academy at a later date.
