Michael "Mike" Biniakewitz, a lifelong resident of Camden, AR, made his departure into the presence of the Lord from his home on Saturday, October 7, 2023, while surrounded by his loving family. Mike was a member of the Cullendale Assembly of God and served as a board member for many years.  He loved building churches on mission trips. Mike was a maintenance mechanic for International Paper Co. for 39 years and owned and operated a Kentucky Fried Chicken. Mike was well known for leading projects to help people and causes in the community.  He took scripture to heart when it says, "pure religion is taking care of orphans and widows."  And he was an avid outdoor adventurer with friends and family.

Mike is preceded in death by his parents, Johnny and Rachel Biniakewitz and one brother, Dannis Biniakewitz.  He is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Shelda Biniakewitz; a son Rev. Kelley Biniakewitz (Sheelah) of Rogers, AR; and a daughter Karen Michele Biniakewitz Kennon (Scott) of St. Augustine, FL; seven grandchildren, Jacob "Bridge" Biniakewitz (Katy) of Russellville, AR, Savanah Biniakewitz Smith (Zack) of Fayetteville, AR, Levi and Isaac Biniakewitz of Rogers, AR, and Mackenzie, Logan, and Andrew Kennon of St. Augustine, FL; one great grandson, Ezra Biniakewitz; one sister, Ruth Gillespie (Richard) of Broken Arrow, OK; one sister-in-law, Beth Biniakewitz of Millington, TN; and a lot of people that saw him as a second Dad.

Visitation will be at 10:00 AM, Saturday, October 14, 2023, at Cullendale Assembly of God in Camden with funeral services following at 11:00 AM.  Rev. Al Womack will officiate the service and Rev.
