Mark McBride, 60, of Dana, IN, went to be with our Lord and Savior on Feb. 16th, 2023 after a 2 year long battle with Gilliam-Barre Syndrome.

Mark was born on Sept. 4th, 1962 in Danville, Illinois to the late Leonard Roe and Janice Elaine (Fortner) McBride. He graduated from North Vermillion High School in 1981. Mark deeply loved and married his wife, Mary Jane (Huffman) McBride (surviving) on Feb. 26, 2000 at Old Union Christian Church on Feb. 26th, 2000 and shared 5 children. God called Mark to become an emergency foster dad for 4 years from 2019 until he passed and he cared and loved for 95 children. Mark was very close with his nieces and nephews and his foster children.

He studied music at Indiana State University for a year. He worked as a nurse for several years, then worked at McDonalds, working up to store manager until he was disabled in 2003. Mark enjoyed cooking from scratch, shopping, gardening, visiting with family and friends and loved being with his children and his foster children. Mark loved music and loved volunteering with the marching band with Doug Finley. He was very involved with school for his kids starting in preschool and staying through graduation. Mark leaves behind his wife, Mary Jane: 3 sisters Donna (Bill) Livengood of Mitchell, Ind. ; Shelly (Tom) Polf of Attica, Ind.; and Tasha (Dan) Murray of Waynetown, Ind.; 2 sons, Zachary Tanner (Jessie) McBride of Cayuga, Ind.; Noah Christian (Destini Mink) McBride of Dana Ind,; 3 grandchildren/adopted children, Juliet Rose McBride, Victoria Grace McBride and Braxton Tanner McBride all of Dana and his 23 nieces and nephew.
