Michael "Mike" Dale Scarbrough, 63, passed away peacefully at home on October 30, 2019 after a brave battle with cancer surrounded by family. Born and raised in Fayetteville WV, Mike was a carpenter throughout his life, he was also an avid hunter and had a passion for fishing. Mike never met a stranger. He enjoyed life to the fullest telling stories of the “old days” with his time spent fishing and hunting with his brothers, all of whom were his best friends. He was always there to brighten the lives of his family members with his kind eyes and soft smile. He thrived on the exchange of conversation and was committed to his family making sure they knew he had their support. Mike was considered like a second father to his nieces and nephews alongside his brothers and sisters as they taught them necessary life skills such as how to swim and live off the land “hunt and fish”, and instilled family values upon his loved ones. He will truly be missed by his loved ones, but his memory will never be forgotten.
