Scott Alan Goodpasture, 71, passed away peacefully at his home after a long battle with cancer. Scott, affectionately known as “The Melon Man” had an interesting life. Although he lived in Fallon for most of his life, he also lived in Connecticut, Brazil and California. Scott was an enthusiastic metal detectorist, an avid Nevada history buff, but most of all he loved farming. He loved talking to all his customers as he sold melons out of his truck and to local stores and co-ops. Scott was preceded in death by his parents, Julian and Ruth Goodpasture and his brother Jeff. He leaves behind his other family, Diana Parham, Liz Matthews and family and Tyler Parham and family.
