Michael Sean Bell

Michael Sean Bell, age 55, passed away on September 28, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on October 7, 1971, in Columbia, South Carolina, Michael was a devoted husband, father, stepfather, and grandfather. He is survived by his wife, Linda; his sons, Michael Aaron Bell and Michael James Winisky; his stepdaughter, Amanda Lynn Rice; and ten beloved grandchildren.

Michael was a hardworking and generous man who always put his family first. A master electrician and electrical superintendent by trade, he was respected for both his expertise and his strong work ethic.

He was a man of conviction who stood firmly for what he believed in. Michael wasn’t afraid to speak his mind, and those who knew him appreciated his strength, honesty, and loyalty. He loved playing guitar, watching football, going to church, and spending time with his family — especially when it meant sharing a laugh or good conversation.

A memorial service to celebrate Michael’s life will be held on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. at Bridge Street Mission, located on 1st Street in Wausau, Wisconsin.

Michael’s legacy of love, strength, and unwavering devotion to his family and values will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
