Mitchell was born July 22, 1961, to Leonard and Alice (Kraemer) Binek. He was raised in Avon and graduated from Holdingford High School in 1979, and later lived in the Sauk Rapids and Sartell areas for most of his life. He worked for Goulet Homes as a project manager and did many construction and concrete projects as a side job. Years after sustaining a life-changing spinal cord injury accident in 2008, he was able to start driving again and helped his son at Deluxe Yard Care, running errands and other miscellaneous tasks. Mitchell liked to go camping with friends, play horseshoes and ride snowmobile. He was kind, funny and quite the jokester. He loved his family, especially his grandchildren, hauling them around to all of their activities, and any other random place they could convince him to take them to. All of which were done with his puppy, Billy, by his side.

Mitchell is survived by his mother, Alice of Avon; son, Kyle (Heidi) of Sauk Rapids; grandchildren, Aubrey, Maci and Ryder; siblings, Dale of Avon, Karen (Wayne) Parker of St. Cloud, Dean (Sue) of Winsted, Becky (Scott) Poepping of Rice.

He is preceded in death by his father, Leonard.

We also would like to send a thank you to his main personal care assistant, Michelle Albers. He was very lucky to have such a caring loving kind person to always look after him in times of need. She was always there to support any of his shenanigans or crazy ideas he had.
