Mr. James worked as a Diesel Mechanic at Davis Tractor for over 27 years before he retired.  He loved his work, and it was only due to health reasons that he retired.  He was an avid reader of the bible and loved to talk about his faith.   He and his wife Debra loved hosting family get-togethers and especially Christmas.  He saved all year long to make Christmas special for all his grandchildren.  James truly loved and cared for his wife Deborah.

James is preceded in death by his wife of 39 years Debra Scarbrough, his parents, his brother Robert Scarbrough, and sisters Rita Broadway and Toots Scarbrough.
