Robert Kraham Obituary

Mr. Robert M. Kraham, 54, of Frederick, passed away surrounded by family on October 14, 2017, after a hard-fought battle with cancer. He was the husband of Dawn Kraham, his wife of 28 years.



Born at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Robert was the son of William R. Kraham, Capt., USAF, Ret., of Rockville and the late Elizabeth Ann Kraham. He was a doting father, a loving husband, and an extremely hard worker who loved his job. He was proud to be an OTR trucker and petroleum hauler for Sheetz. He was a fabulous storyteller and his humorous anecdotes and entertaining stories will be sorely missed.

He was preceded in death by a sister, Ann Rohan Kraham.



A memorial service will be held at 4:00 PM on Saturday, October 21st at Calvary United Methodist Church, 131 West 2nd Street in Frederick. Inurnment will be private. In lieu of flowers, the family is respectfully asking for donations towards medical and educational expenses.

I only saw Bob a couple of times when picking up my granddaughter from Miss Dawn's. He seemed like a very nice, caring person. This was confirmed when my daughter told me the story of him taking my granddaughter with him when he took the dog for a walk. She really enjoyed that. This created a very touching image in my mind.

I am sorry the world and his family lost him at such a young age. He will be missed by many.
