In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Scarver was born and raised as the second son of five children. He was eventually expelled from his mother's home due to his alcoholism. This happened after he left James Madison High School in the eleventh year. Scarver had previously attended James Madison High School. Scarver was also employed by a Wisconsin Conservation Corps labour program as a trainee carpenter. He claimed that a supervisor named Edward Patts had assured him that he would be hired on a full-time basis after completing this program, but once Patts was fired, Scarver's full-time position never materialized. As a result, Scarver drank a lot. While intoxicated, he started to hear voices referring to him as the "chosen one."
