Born on October 23, 1973, in Romney, West Virginia, Mike was the son of the late Carl Edward Shrout, Sr. and Beulah Marie (Sites) Shrout. He was a graduate of James Wood High School, Class of 1991. For approximately 25 years, Mike worked as an expert brick mason before transitioning to his career as a truck driver for XPO Logistics.

He is survived by his son, Bradley Michael Shrout of Winchester, VA; his sister, Barbara S. Wolford of St. Augustine, FL; three brothers, Carl “Eddie” Shrout, Jr. (Brenda) of Martinsburg, WV, Charles “Chuck” Shrout (Vicky) of Winchester, VA, and William “Bill” Shrout (Paula) of Stephens City, VA; along with numerous loving nieces and nephews.
