OBITUARIES OF BLESSED MEMORY 66 | APRIL 4 • 2024 J N M 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.
