Mark B. Mcbride

Mark Brenton McBride, 60, of Dana, IN, went to be with our Lord and Savior on February 16, 2023, after a 2 year long battle with Gilliam-Barre Syndrome. Mark was born on September 4, 1962, in Danville, Illinois to the late Leonard Roe and Janice Elaine (Fortner) McBride. He graduated from North Vermillion High School in 1981. Mark married his beloved wife, Mary Jane (Huffman) McBride (surviving) on February 26, 2000, at Old Union Church of Christ and they 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 95 children in that capacity. Mark was also very close with his 23 nieces and nephews. Mark was a lifelong member of Cayuga Christian Church. He studied music at Indiana State University. He was a gifted trumpet, baritone and piano player. Mark cherished his time volunteering with the North Vermillion marching band with friend Doug Finley. After Indiana State, Mark graduated from nursing school and worked as a licensed practical nurse for several years. Following that he joined McDonalds, eventually becoming a store manager until he was disabled in 2003. His greatest pleasure was training new employees for the work force. Mark enjoyed cooking from scratch, shopping (there was no one better at finding a true bargain), gardening, visiting with family and friends and being with his children and his foster children. One of his greatest gifts was his ability to see humor in every situation and share that with the world. Mark was very involved with school for his kids starting in preschool and staying through graduation. That's 27 years of helping with homework, going to teacher conferences and baking cookies for fundraisers and class parties. Mark was also a gifted athlete, holding the record in the 100-meter breaststroke at North Vermillion for many years. He leaves behind his wife, Mary Jane: three sisters, Donna (Bill) Livengood of Mitchell, IN, Shelly (Tom) Polf of Attica, IN, and Tasha (Dan) Murray of Waynetown, IN; two sons, Zachary Tanner (Jessie) McBride of Cayuga, IN, and Noah Christian (best bud Destini Mink) McBride of Dana, IN; three grandchildren/adopted children, Juliet Rose McBride, Victoria Grace McBride and Braxton Tanner McBride, all of Dana; as well as his 23 nieces and nephews. He will be greatly missed by his Huffman family as well; his Father-in-love, Richard Huffman, Danville, IL; siblings-in-love, Myra (Frank) Fasullo, Houston, TX, David (Kathleen) Huffman, Greenwood, IN, Charles (Judene) Huffman, Windsbach, Germany, and Rick (Jenny) Huffman, Danville, IL. The family would like to thank the staff at Union Hospital in Terre Haute, Indiana, for their kindness and compassion. And special honor to Dr. V. Reddy for his skill and compassion. He made even the most difficult situations bearable. Visitation will be held 11:00am to 1:00pm (EST), Thursday, February 23, 2023, at Sunset Funeral Home & Cremation Center, DeVerter Chapel, 215 N.
