He was born on Oct. 21, 1949, in Austin, Texas, to Lee and Marguerite Scarborough. Bob was preceded in death by his parents and his twin brother, William Shaw Scarborough.

A proud Austin native, Bob graduated from McCallum High School in 1968 and later from Southwest Texas State University. He built a successful career in electrical sales as a longtime employee of Nunn Electric and Border States in Austin.

Bob enjoyed life to the fullest — he loved deer hunting, fishing, ham radio, bicycling, and attending garage sales. He also found great joy in Scouting activities with his sons.

He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Mary, and their sons, David and his partner Travis, and Mark and his wife Shalene. Bob was a devoted grandfather to Casen, Cora, Cohan, Fallon and Kingston. He is also survived by his brother and sister-inlaw, Steve and Carolyn Scarborough.

A special thanks is extended to Compassus Hospice and especially to Helen, Jeno, and Cindy for their comfort and care during these past months.
