WILLIAM "WILLIE" VAN DYKE SCRIBNER
July 6, 1947 - March 24, 2019

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts for all of those who knew
and loved him. Willie passed away on March 24, 2019 from complications
of Asthma/COPD. Willie was born July 6th, 1947 to Gilbert Scribner and
Helen Shoemaker Scribner in Chicago, Illinois.

Willie graduated from Lake Forest Academy, Lake Forest, Illinois in
1966 and went on to complete his Bachelor of Science Degree at
Northern Arizona University in 1980 and his Masters of Science
Education from Central Missouri State University in 1984. He found
paradise and moved to Lake Havasu in 2000.

Willie's passion was paddling his Mako Canoes along the channel here
in Lake Havasu. He leaves behind the love of his life Debbie Dorton-
Scribner, daughter Ashley Lauren Dorton, sisters Helen Euston and
Nancy Clarke, Nephews Gibb Clarke, David Clarke, Geoffrey Euston,
Gregory Euston, and William Euston. He also leaves the many friends he
loved and adored since childhood and many more friends throughout his
life.

Willie's philosophy in life was; Love Many, Trust Few, and Paddle your
own Canoe… Many thanks to the staff of Hospice of Havasu, SunHaven on
