Honolulu,HI —
HI--Dr. Mark Edmund Duke Bainum, who simultaneously negotiated successful careers in medicine, banking, and politics, passed from this life on June 9, 2009, at the age of 56. The son of Evea and the late Irvin Bainum, of Bonnerdale, he was born July 21, 1952, in Maryland, raised in Arkansas, educated in Tenneessee and received his medical training at the University of Maryland and in Hawaii. Bainum attained his BS degree in 1974 from Southern College in Tennessee. He went on to study at the medical school of the University of Maryland at Baltimore, where he became a medical doctor. in 1980, he moved to Honolulu to attend the University of Hawaii Surgical Residency Program, completing his internship in 1982. After working as a volunteer doctor at a clinic in Nepal, Bainum dedicated a large portion of his remaining medical career to the treatment of indigents, rape victims, and at scenes of natural disaster. He and his physician brother, Tim, were among the first volunteer doctors in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and, at the time of his death, were working through their Bainum Foundation to build a clinic in Guatemala. He maintained residences in Hawaii, wehre he served on the Honolulu City Council and in Hot Springs, where he worked in the family’s Diamon Bank as managing director. Bainum entered elected politics in 1990 when he entered the Hawaiian State House of Representatives for two terms. He was then elected to the Honolulu City Council, where he served for the next 10 years, losing an election for mayor that year by a very slim margin. He was re-elected to the Council in November 2008. In recent years, Bainum worked with his family to build upon two bank charters in southwest Arkansas which his father had acquired in the 1980s. Since the banks were merged as Diamond Bank in 2007, they have grown to 13 locations in 10 communities with total assets in excess of $400 million. Duke Bainum never met a stranger. He was as polite and attentive to the logger in the lobby of Diamond Bank in Dierks as he was to a visiting dignitary at Honolulu City Hall. Employees, voters, and medical professionals were all drawn to his ready smile and quick wit. he was never happier than when playing with his young sons or visiting family in rural Arkansas. His kindness and generosity will be felt by generations. Dr. Bainum is survived by his mother, Evea Bainum; his brother, Dr. Tim Bainum; his wife, Jennifer, and their two sons, Z and Kona. At the time of his death, he was living in Honolulu. Memorial services for Dr. Bainum will be held in Hawaii on June 27 and at Bonnerdale Seventh Day Adventist Church in Bonnerdale at 4:30 p.m. on June 28. The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Irvin C. and Evea J. Bainum Foundation, Inc., which in turn supports international medical missions and local charities throughout southwest Arkansas.

James is survived by his devoted wife, Renee Tanner, who lovingly cared for him through his later years with dementia; his daughters, Sherri Tanner Ricardes, and her husband, Robert, and Amy Webb, and her husband, Richard; his sister, Sharon Rowse, and her husband, Gail; and many nieces and nephews who cherished him.

He was gifted musically and enjoyed singing and sharing his talent at several nursing homes using his karaoke equipment, bringing music, smiles, and joy to others.
James will be remembered for his strength, humor, kindness, faith, and unwavering love for his family. His legacy lives on in all who knew him.
At this time, no services will be held, and the family asks that in his memory you take a moment to enjoy music, laughter, and time with loved ones.
He will be deeply missed.

He earned numerous trophies in shuffleboard, pool, bowling, golf, and other recreational sports, winning competitions throughout Nebraska and Reno, Nevada, including participation in the Cornhusker State Games.
James also loved gardening, spending time outdoors, and watching things grow. He assisted his father in operating the family business, Pre-Cast Step Company, and carried the values of hard work and craftsmanship throughout his life.
He was gifted musically and enjoyed singing and sharing his talent at several nursing homes using his karaoke equipment, bringing music, smiles, and joy to others.
James will be remembered for his strength, humor, kindness, faith, and unwavering love for his family. His legacy lives on in all who knew him.
At this time, no services will be held, and the family asks that in his memory you take a moment to enjoy music, laughter, and time with loved ones.
He will be deeply missed.
“To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”
2 Corinthians 5:8
