Scott Stoddard, who was struck with a terminal illness at the crest of his career as editor of the Daily Courier, died on Monday at his home in Grants Pass. He was 59.
His death was confirmed by a friend involved in his hospice care. In July 2025, he was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer with a median life expectancy of 12 to 18 months.

After a rough first set against a Yreka team that already has nine wins in the early going this season, Hidden Valley made the final two more competitive in a 25-9, 25-21, 25-16 non-league volleyball loss to the Miners on Tuesday in Murphy.
“We definitely started out rough,” said Hidden Valley coach Jaime Toedtemeier. “We’re working through a couple injuries. We played better after that first set.”
