David Kramer Obituary
David Allen Kramer, 62, of La Porte, Indiana, passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, on Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024.
David was born on Aug. 27, 1962, in La Porte to the late Allen and Dorothy (Schoof) Kramer. David resided in La Porte his entire life.
When not enjoying a can of Pepsi while riding his motorized scooter around the family property, David could be found watching reruns of "I Love Lucy" or socializing with relatives over the phone, particularly his favorite aunt Jan. He also enjoyed watching his nephews' baseball games, the county fair and family get-togethers. David's courage and resilience in spite of the many challenges he faced throughout his life will forever serve as an inspiration to all who knew and loved him. His infectious smile, laughter and personality will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
Surviving is his sister, Theresa (John) Mohlke; nephews, Greg (Kayleen) Mohlke and Josh (Emily) Mohlke; aunts, Loretta Kramer, Karen Wojasinski, Marie Kramer, Jancie Hadella and Phyllis Schoof; great-nephews and great-nieces, Henry, Lucy, Madison and Jack Mohlke; and many beloved cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, Allen and Dorothy.
The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to Brickyard Terrace and its residents and many people who cared and visited David during the final years of his life: aunt Jan, aunt Loretta, Bert, Jeri, Lisa and Traditions Hospice nurse Ashley.
