Injuries from an IED attack last December killed a Fort Carson soldier on Sunday.

Sgt. Mark H. Schoonhoven, 38, of Plainwell, Mich., died at Brooke Army Medical Center.

The Department of Defense said he died  from injuries he sustained when enemy forces attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device on Dec. 15, 2012, in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Schoonhoven was a motor transport operator with the 32nd Transportation Company, 43rd Sustainment Brigade, 4th Infantry Division.  He was just one month into his third deployment to Afghanistan. He entered the Army in 2006.
