Mark Michael Horning, 64, of Osburn, ID, passed away suddenly on March 13, 2026 while doing what he loved, skiing. Mark was born on April 19, 1961 in Kellogg, ID at the old Wardner Hospital, a son of Harold and Betty (Eid) Horning.

Mark graduated from Wallace High School and soon after he left to travel the United States to work as a sound system audio technician. He moved back to the Silver Valley in the 1990’s and started working in 1997 as an automotive detailer for Dave Smith. Finally retiring in 2024, he spent all the time he could in the woods four-wheeling, camping, or hunting. During the winter months, he could be found skiing the slopes and having fun in the powder.

He was a kind loving man that stuck to his family and friends.

He is survived by his daughter, Kaitlyn Horning and her husband Alexander Bentiez of Osburn, ID; his mother, Betty Horning of Osburn, ID; a brother, Bruce (Kim) Horning of Graton, CA; and a granddaughter, Ophelia Benitez
