Inurnment will be held in Memorial Park Cemetery. There will be no public visitation scheduled; per his wishes he will be cremated. Memorials may be directed to the Mark S.

Mark S. Binnebose was born in Marshall, Minn., on Feb. 14, 1960 (Valentine’s Day), the youngest of four children. Mark grew up in Mason City and the U.S. Army. Mark enlisted into the Army in 1980 after basic and AIT training. Mark’s first assignment as an MP was to guard special weapons stockpiled at the Seneca Army Depot in Seneca, N.Y.
During the next three years Mark successfully completed Basic Airborne, Air Assault and Special Forces qualification courses. After graduating from the Special Qualification Course, Mark became a Special Operations engineer sergeant and was assigned to the 1st Special Forces GP at Fort Lewis, Washington.
Mark continued to be assigned to Special Forces units as a Special Operations engineer sergeant and rose to the rank of sergeant first class, also during that period he attended the French language course and numerous courses related to Special Operations to include Combat Engineer Training, Special Operations Training and Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape Training.
In 1993, Mark then attended and graduated from Warrant Officer Candidate School, Individual Terrorism Awareness, Psychological Operations Officer, Special Forces Warrant, Officer Basic, Jump Master, Special Forces Advance Recon Target Analysis and Exploitation Technical Course. During the next 6 years Mark continued to serve in various Special Forces units throughout the world as a Special Forces Technician and rose to the rank of Chief Warrant Officer 2. Mark retired from Active Duty in Boblingen, Germany, from the 1/10th Special Forces Group on the last day of December 2000. While spending almost 14 years in Special Forces units, Mark participated in operations in over 63 countries, many times engaging in hostilities to protect U.S. interests and preserve freedom so we can enjoy every day as Americans.
Mark’s next endeavor from 2000-02 was a civilian chief security advisor for U.S. interests in Guinea, Africa, with more than 200 host nation employees working for him guarding various activities in support of the U.S. and Guinea governments. Mark became a U.S. government civilian employee as a security specialist in 2002 and served in The Netherlands, Alaska, and Italy until his untimely death on May 1, 2013.
Mark was a loving father, brother and son and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. He enjoyed riding his Harley and spending time with his faithful companion, Bo.
Those left to cherish his memory are his four sons, Joshua Binnebose (Kasey), Tyler (Jessica) Binnebose, Nick Binnebose, Tanner Binnebose; brother, Craig Binnebose (Janelle); sister, Karen Bull (Ron); five grandchildren; father, Neil Binnebose; and many more that shared in his adventures around the world.
He was preceded in death by Paula Johnson and Betty Binnebose.
Mark S. Binnebose was a True Warrior of this world and is now on to the next.
