It saddens me to write in memory of James “Jim” Scarbrough, on behalf of the many AV professionals who have had the privilege to work with Jim as a colleague, trade partner or client.  Jim was both a professional colleague and personal friend to my family and me.  His countless hours of above and beyond effort demonstrated his passion, teamwork and dedication to the AV/IT industry. I cannot remember a time when Jim said “no” or “later” when called upon for mentoring of others, detailed technical information for solution training or problem-solving, extended days of business travel, or helping those in need.

Jim had a drive and thirst for continuous learning and sharing his gained knowledge with those who could benefit. His broad knowledge extended well beyond the scope of his career.  Learning more and sharing with others was a hobby for Jim. Jim will forever be remembered as a great man, father and husband with well-rounded principles, ethics and morals. We will all miss you Jim, rest in peace!

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked to make a donation to a charity of your choice or to the family c/o Maria Foire, Jim’s wife, at 15712 Cedarmill Drive Chesterfield, MO 63017.

Maria’s wishes are for those that know Jim to celebrate his life in a joyous manner during the holidays. Jim passed peacefully on Nov. 30, 2012, on his 48th birthday.
