Livingston Scott was born on April 19, 1942, in Deweyville, Texas, to Mr. Marshall Scott Sr. and Rozelia "Snook" Scott. He was affectionately known as "Slim" by family and friends.

Livingston was introduced to Christ at an early age by his parents and was baptized at African Methodist Episcopal Faith Church, where he began his lifelong journey of servanthood. His faith in Christ never wavered. He remained steadfast in the Word of God and faithfully shared it with others, knowing that faith is what sustains us throughout life.

Livingston received his education through the Beaumont Independent School District. In 1967, he enlisted in the United States Army and proudly served his country for two years (1967–1969). During his service, he was designated as an Airborne Specialist, courageously jumping from aircraft and serving in the Vietnam War. After completing his military service, Slim returned to Beaumont, Texas, where he began working at Mavry Foundry and later continued his career in construction as a skilled roofer.

Slim loved life, his family, cooking, and connecting with people from all walks of life. He was well known for his warm personality and was a humble showman who took pride in his style of dress and his presence on the dance floor.

Later in life, Livingston "Slim" Scott built a lasting legacy through his children: Danielle Washington (deceased), Daphne Washington, Livingston Junior Washington, and Jamie Stevens (Joseph) of Austin, Texas. His legacy continues through his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and siblings, who carry forward his love, kindness, wisdom, and spirit of generosity in their own unique ways.

He leaves to cherish his memory his special friend, Jeannette Morgan; his siblings, Jo'helen Jenkins, Evangelist Marion Jackson, and Eddie Scott (Alice); his children, Daphne Washington, Livingston Washington, and Jamie Stevens (Joseph), Kimberly Price (Cornell), Tiah Williams, Kevin Scott Washington; along with a host of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Danielle Washington; his siblings, Stella Garnett, Marshall Scott Jr., and George Scott; and his parents, Marshall Scott Sr. and Rozelia "Snook" Scott.
