ichael Kelmenson, 
36, of West 
Bloomfield, died 
Feb. 6, 2024. 
Michael was a proud 
alumnus of the 
University of 
Michigan for both 
his undergraduate 
degree and his 
master’s in social 
work. He worked 
in the Michigan 
school systems, coordinated 
the youth mentorship program 
at Jewish Family Service and 
worked as an independent 
consultant.
He made friends extremely 
easily and formed deep and 
lasting relationships with 
many. He bonded with people 
of all ages. He loved the beauty 
of nature and exploring the 
outdoors, and even more he 
loved sharing and surprising 
his friends and family with 
many outdoor adventures in 
Michigan and across the coun-
try. He hiked, biked, canoed, 
kayaked, camped, climbed, 
snowboarded and snowshoed. 
 He was a member of the 
society of Les Voyageurs in 
Ann Arbor, where he served as 
treasurer and board member. 
He especially loved his time 
visiting Peru, where he trav-
eled and then lived for three 
months to become fluent in 
Spanish and broaden his career 
options.
Michael was wonderful with 
children and they responded 
in kind. He spent many sum-
mers at Camp Tamarack and 
on their trips, first as a camper 
and then as a counselor. He 
loved music and went to many 
concerts, often introducing 
friends and family members to 

new bands. Michael was a pas-
sionate sports fan, especially 
of the University of Michigan 
football team. He attended 
many games over the years, 
both at home and away. The 
last game he attended was 
in Houston, Texas, on Jan. 8, 
2024, where he watched and 
celebrated with friends as the 
University of Michigan won 
the College Football Playoff 
National Championship game. 
Michael was diagnosed with 
sarcoma in 2019. Despite his 
diagnosis, he made food deliv-
eries for Meals on Wheels and 
Yad Ezra. He continued to plan 
and have adventures whenever 
possible. 
He is survived by his par-
ents, Sara Braverman and 
Robin Kelmenson; broth-
er, Daniel (Lindsay); sister, 
Rachel; nephews, Noah and 
Dylan; many aunts, uncles and 
countless cousins.
Funeral services were 
held at the Dorfman Chapel 
in Farmington Hills. As a 
testament to his many deep 
and abiding relationships, and 
in accordance with his wishes, 
the eulogies were given by his 
close friends and his sister 
Rachel. A video of the service 
can be viewed on the Dorfman 
Chapel website. Interment 
took place at Beth El Memorial 
Park in Livonia. Contributions 
may be made to Braverman-
Kelmenson Liposarcoma
