Jack Evertt Scarbrough, 59, of Independence, Missouri, (formerly of Oak Grove, MO) passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Saturday, November 26, 2022.  He was a cherished son, adored big brother, beloved husband, exceptional father, and an irreplaceable Papa, as well as an esteemed friend to many.

Jack was born February 4, 1963, on Fort Bliss Army Base, the son of Jackie C. & Margaret A. Scarbrough.  He was a graduate of the Oak Grove High School Class of ’81, where he partook in football, wrestling, and endless shenanigans with friends.  He was also a 1985 graduate of UMKC College.

In his day, Jack was known for his ’66 Caprice, C10 Chevy, and his ’77 Cutlass 442. But he put all the fast cars away when he married the love of his life, Debra L.

Scarbrough.  Jack worked many years for Glenn Freely Auto, Stuart Hall and Aspen Products, retiring in November 2021.

Jack had an avid love for the Colorado mountains, his ’01 Kawasaki Nomad Motorcycle, Old Hot Rods, reminiscing with old friends, all things historic as he was a huge history buff, and above all, spending time with his best bud (Grandson) Jackson and their pup Charlie.  Jack was an extraordinary man and loved by so many.  He will be greatly missed.  May his memory live on forever.
