It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of David C. Scranton, born on August 15, 1956, in Fort Wayne, Indiana to Robert & Rosemary (Clinton) Scranton. Dave, a dedicated truck driver who spent many years with Radabaugh Trucking and Montgomery Trucking, left us peacefully due to natural causes on February 23, 2026.

After graduating high school in the Class of 1974, from Southside H.S, in Fort Wayne, he married his high school sweetheart Karen Radabaugh on August 7, 1976. He enjoyed golf and tinkering with old cars in his spare time. He also enjoyed music, especially the 70’s and 80’s. But his favorite joy was spending time with his family and friends.

Dave was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He leaves behind his cherished wife, Karen Scranton, his children: Jeremy High, Ashley (Josh) Tinkel, and Joshua Scranton, and his grandchildren, Kalliegh High, Stella High, Mikaela Wilson, Savannah Wilson.
