Jason Alexander Binzel Sr

Jason Alexander Binzel Sr., 52, of Fox Lake, passed away unexpectedly on March 9, 2026. Born on August 12, 1973, in Arlington Heights, Illinois, he was lovingly adopted and raised by Theodore “Ted” and Priscilla Binzel. He grew up in Lake Barrington with his sister Beth, attended school there, and later studied at Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado. Returning to Illinois, he worked alongside his father at the family company, Binzel Industries Inc., where he remained for the rest of his career until retiring due to medical issues.

A kind-hearted soul, Jason cherished time spent with his son, Alex, and his mother, Priscilla. He had a natural talent for building computers and speaker systems, often devoting his free time to these pursuits. He also found joy in listening to music, hiking, and swimming. An avid music lover, he enjoyed artists such as John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Prince, Ren/The Big Push, Eminem, Slightly Stoopid, Blue October, and The Elovators, and could often be seen tapping his foot or nodding his head along to his favorite songs.

Jason will be deeply missed by his loving son, Alex Binzel, and his mother, Priscilla Binzel. He was preceded in death by his father, Theodore “Ted” Binzel.
