Obituary
Roger H. Scarborough, 72, of Tulsa, died Aug 1, 2013 at home after a long battle with brain cancer.
He was born in Valliant, Oklahoma July 12, 1941 to Barnett (Doc) & Marie (Rogers) Scarborough. He graduated from Valliant High School in 1959 and married Sarah Tuck with whom he had two children, Barnett Edward (Barney) and Annette Marie Scarborough. He joined the Air Force in 1959 and received an honorable discharge in 1963. He was a policeman with the Oklahoma City police department for a year and a half and then started his long career with State Farm Insurance Companies in 1965. In 1977 he married Becky Huddleston and she had two children Shelly Ann and Wade Allen Huddleston. They moved to Wichita Falls, TX, where he was an agent with State Farm and retired December 31, 2002. As an agent and agency manager with State Farm for 38 years, he won many awards and honors and always said he was blessed to be a part of the State Farm family.

He and his wife, Becky, have spent 20 years ministering in Mexico with their longtime friends David & Amelia Ramirez of Wichita Falls, Texas. They also enjoyed cycling and were members of the Wichita Falls and Tulsa Bicycle Clubs.
