Robert Scarborough

Robert “Bob” Shaw Scarborough, 76, of Taylor, Texas, passed away on November 11, 2025 after a courageous 15-year battle with cancer. He was born on October 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, 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.

Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, November 18, at 11:00 a.m. at Providence Funeral Home in Taylor, with visitation beginning at 10:00 a.m. Burial will follow at Taylor Cemetery, with a reception afterward at SPJST.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial donation to First Baptist Church or to a charity of your choice.
