On the early morning of June 15th, 2022 an angel whispered to Michael "it's time to come home and see your Mom once again".

Michael Richard Bembnister was born on August 8, 1965 to Richard F. Bembnister and Joan C. (Metz) Bembnister in Eau Claire, WI. Michael passed away due to complications from respiratory failure.  Mike is survived by his father, Richard and his two loving sisters, Laura (Tim) Reed of Surprise, AZ and Linda (Kevin) Snyder of Chetek, WI. He is also survived by his four nephews, Andrew and Matthew Reed of Durand, WI, Frank (Brianna) Snyder of Eau Claire, WI and Zane Snyder (fiancé Annie Volk) of Beaverton, OR and many other cousins, aunts and uncles.

Michael loved music, being outdoors, seeing his family and was always on the move. His favorite meals were his dad's many fish-fries. A Celebration of Life will take place at a date to be determined.

Run free and be silent no more, Michael!
