Eby

Mark A. Eby, born to Allen (Jerry) and Reta Rae Eby on September 18, 1951in Santa Monica, CA. He completed his life at the age of 75, when he left his world for God’s on Friday November 6th (the same day his mother passed in 2019 and the exact time his mother-in-law passed 2 weeks before. This is how we know that his Angels came to escort him home.) He was sharp, funny, impish, and yet could no longer process on that level, He chose to isolate with his 6-year challenge with COPD and Alzheimer’s. He has been missed for many years. Thank you to all his friends who respected his decision.

He always remembered your stories and could retell them in his own way that had us all laughing so hard. He loved his Montana childhood, spending summers at his family’s cabin in Lincoln when they lived in Great Falls. Moving to Billings he attended school at St. Francis, Fratt, graduating in the Class of 1969 from Billings Central High School. He continued his education at Eastern College and to U of M in Missoula, MT in the wild 70’s. He and his roommates would go get their furniture for their house during the night from the U of M lounges and always returned it at the end of the school year.

Mark had several construction jobs in Denver. He worked in the warehouse at Colburn’s school supply and enjoyed his lunch on the dock watching the trains go by. He spent 45 years as an independent landman working for major oil companies, unwinding mineral ownership as an oil and Gas Title Analyst with a yellow legal pad, a fine point pen and courthouses of many counties and states. He made so many great friends wherever he went. (Dan, Carol, Nick)

He married Beth Davis in 1986 after meeting in 1982. They were married for 40 years and were blessed with a son Ted (Brittany Haupt, and their son Wayne). A daughter Rainee (her daughter Violet). Beth’s daughter Kirsti Maire Mellgren (son Jacob). His dog, Frank. His younger brother, Kent (Cathy, Nick, Jennifer and Ashley).
