Ervin Davis McBride, affectionately known as "Mac", "Papa" and "Pop", age 90, of Garden Grove, California, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 26, 2025.
Born on December 4, 1934, in Ninety Six, South Carolina, Mac was the beloved son of James Rabon and Evelyn Hazel McBride.
Mac was a hardworking and very respected mechanic at Entenmann's Bakery and ran the maintenance division before his retirement. He was known for his kind heart, steady hands, and unwavering dedication to his family.
He is survived by his brother Roger, his son Brian (Lori), and his daughter Sharon (Don) Butler, along with seven grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren who brought him endless pride and joy.
Mac is preceded in death by his parents, his beloved wife Katie, and his daughter Vicki.
In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests donations be made to E614.org, an organization that provides life-saving safety equipment to law enforcement officers-an effort close to the family's heart.
