Mark Robert Birden, 62, of Monrovia, Indiana, passed away on April 13, 2020 after a long and painful battle with cancer.
Mark was born on February 26, 1958 to Mary Stone and Robert Birden in Tipton, Indiana. His mother passed when he was 5 years of age, and he always wished he had more time with her. Mark graduated from Clinton Central High School in 1976.
On May 18, 1988, he met his life partner and love of his life, Robert Scholes. They wed in 2017 at their home “on the prairie”, surrounded by friends and family. Mark and Robert were a perfect example of unconditional love, and had 32 years of happiness together. Mark also adored his cats.
Mark loved absolutely every person and every animal. He had a heart of gold and would do absolutely anything to help anyone. He wanted to see everybody happy.
Mark was predeceased by his mother Mary Stone, and his sister Valarie Dixon. He is survived by his husband Robert Scholes, his father Robert Birden, his brother in-law and sister in-laws, and his nieces and nephews.
He is very missed by all that knew him.
