A proud patriot, David honorably served his country as a United States Army Ranger. Throughout his military career, he earned numerous service ribbons and awards in recognition of his overseas service and expert marksmanship. His pride in serving his country never faded. Throughout his life, he remained a steadfast supporter of his fellow service members, always showing respect and appreciation for the men and women in uniform across all branches of the United States military.
David was an avid sportsman who treasured spending time with his closest friend, Roger, and many other friends throughout the Greenville community. He also had a lifelong passion for building and repairing motorcycles and thoroughly enjoyed spending time outdoors riding his beloved "toys."
Perhaps David's most admirable quality was his extraordinary love and devotion to his parents. He lovingly cared for Jesse Ray and Eula Belle Scarborough around the clock in their family home until their passing. His unwavering commitment, compassion, and dedication to his parents speak volumes about the kind of man he was and the love he carried in his heart.
David is predeceased by his beloved parents, Jesse Ray and Eula Belle Scarborough.
A memorial service for David with military honors will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, November 14, 2026 at Mackey Funerals and Cremations Woodlawn, 1 Pine Knoll Dr. Greenville, SC 29609.
