Michael D. Embrey

Michael D. Embrey left our world due to complications of cancer on December 4, 2022 in Evansville, Indiana at the age of 58.

Michael was born on January 1, 1964 and lived in Poseyville, Indiana for most of his childhood. He graduated from North Posey High School in 1982 and earned a Communications degree from University of Southern Indiana in 1986. He managed several retail stores including JCPenney, Family Dollar, and ending at Dollar Tree.

He will be missed by family, friends, and all who knew him.
