Norman, OK - Mark Ray Belden, 63, of Norman passed away Monday, July 21st. He was born April 10th, 1962, in Norman, Oklahoma.

Mark owned and operated Belden Appliance Repair for over 40 years serving Norman and surrounding communities.

Mark is survived by his mother, Judy Belden, brother Michael York, nephews Jonathon York and WilTomas and wife Katherine. Aunt Lois Jean Belden, cousins Carol Thompson, Cheryl Patrick, Joey Belden, James Arms, Bruce Arms and Valerie Berryhill.

He was preceded in death by his biological mother, Anna Jo, father Earnest Joe, brother Jim and grandmothers, Anna Belle Snake and Joyce Crownover. Uncles, Billy and Jimmy Belden and aunt Mary Carol Belden.

Mark was a quiet but deeply compassionate man whose actions spoke volumes. Known as a steady and dependable presence in the community, he spent countless hours helping his friends and neighbors with their home appliances - always offering a kind smile and a fair, honest hand.

Though soft-spoken, his love was unmistakable in the way he showed up for others, most especially in the devoted care he gave his beloved mother, Judy. His gentle spirit, humble heart, and quiet strength left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

He loved to feed the birds and squirrels in his backyard and loved the many pets he had through the years, especially his dog Lucky.

He gave and gave until he could give no more. He is home now having lunch with grandma and Joe watching As the World Turns.

Rest in peace, Mark, you deserve it.
