Carl Eugene Scalf, 61, of Sharon, PA passed away on November 9, 2025, peacefully in his sleep.
Carl was born on June 3, 1964, in Riverside, California, the son of Charlene (Badgett) and Ronald Scalf.
Carl graduated from Sharon High School in 1982. Before he could walk across the stage he was enlisted with the United States Army. After several tours in Iraq and Afghanistan Carl would eventually retire as a Staff Sergeant from the National Guard.
Carl married Jeanne Sharples in 1984 where they would go on to have three very strong-willed sons, Christopher, Benjamin, and Shawn.
Carl worked many jobs here in the valley where he chose to raise his family. His most prominent positions were those at Tamarkin, Co and Phantom Fireworks.
Carl will be remembered for his sarcastic humor and twist on life. He loved movies and music. Getting to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra was a personal win for him. Carl was an amazing cook in and out of the military. His Christmas Cookies will be terribly missed alongside his jumbo stuffed Pumpkin Rolls.
Carl is survived by his favorite ex-wife, Jeanne; his sons, Christopher (Melissa Stiles) and Shawn (Alyssa Giovanni); his grandchildren, Tyler, Jaylen, Shawn Jr., Landen, Isabella, and Charlotte; his brother, Paul Scalf; several nieces and nephews; as well as his two furry companions, Fuzznuts and Lovey.
Greeting Carl at the gates with the biggest smile and warmest hug is his son, Benjamin. Joining them is his parents; his brother, Jamie; his sister, Connie; and grandchildren, Serenity and Lucas.
The family suggests memorial contributions be directed to Joshua's Haven, 1230 Stambaugh Ave., Farrell, PA 16121.
Calling hours will be 10 a.m. until noon on Saturday (11/15/2025) in J. Bradley McGonigle Funeral Home and Crematory, Inc., 1090 East State St., Sharon. Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.McGonigleFuneralHomeandCrematory.com
Funeral service and military honors will immediately follow at noon, in the funeral home.
