Scott

Duckworth of Fayetteville doted on his baby

daughter, Kerrington Milan, family and friends

say.

"He

wanted her to be a star," said Avivah

Israel, Duckworth's mother-in-law.

But,

thanks to a wrong-way driver, Duckworth won't be

around to work for that dream. He died in a

head-on crash last week, and family and friends

have set up a trust fund for Kerrington.

Donations

can be made at any SouthTrust Bank branch. Donors

will receive receipts, said a bank spokesman, but

should check with their advisors about tax

deductibility.

More

than 500 people attended memorial services for

Duckworth at Fayetteville's Mowell Funeral Home.

"I was just amazed at the outpouring,"

said Israel. Mourners gave Duckworth a standing

ovation. "I've never seen that at a

funeral," she said.

Describing

her son-in-law as a quiet, unassuming person, she

said his life was devoted to his family. "He

devoted his quality time to his wife and

baby," she said, adding that Duckworth was a

friend to all, often playing basketball with

youths in his River's Edge neighborhood.

fork lift driver for Alliance Foods in Atlanta,

Duckworth received an award from the American Red

Cross several years ago after he saved the life

of a drowning man.

He

wasn't fond of talking about religion overmuch.

"He didn't talk a lot about God, but he

exemplified him in his ways," she added.

fund, phone 770-716-1862.
