Stuart Scott mural in Westchester keeps memory alive

WESTCHESTER, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Stuart Scott may have lost his battle with cancer in January, but his memory lives on in a mural in Westchester.

Created by artist Jonas Swyer, the mural means a lot to his two daughters.

"Just little things in his face that I recognize from staring at him so much... the fact that they were able to capture that, it makes me feel like I get to be closer to him and I get to see him again," 15-year-old Sydni Scott said.

"What I love most is I never thought I would see my father memorialized in this way. I never thought anyone would create a tribute to him. To see that, it blows me away," 20-year-old Taelor Scott said.

Last year, Stuart Scott was honored with the Jimmy V. Perseverance Award at the ESPYS for his battle with cancer. He credited his daughters with his win.

"Taelor and Sydni, I love you guys more than I will ever be able to express. You two are my heartbeat. I am standing on this stage tonight because of you," he said.

The ESPYS will air at 8 p.m. Wednesday on ABC7. Both of Stuart's daughters are expected to attend.
