Arden was born January 21, 1945 in Jackson, MI, to Odie and Gladys (Broyles) McBride, both of whom preceded him in death. On August 23, 1986 he married the love of his life, Candace (Sauceda) McBride, who preceded him in death on July 4, 2021. He loved his country and proudly served with the United States Air Force.

Most of all he loved his family, and was always the happiest spending time with those closest to him. Arden was an exceptional man, and will be greatly missed by all those who were fortunate enough to know him.
