Adam Michael Kranker, 27, passed away Thursday, September 19, 2024. Adam was born on August 27, 1997 in Merriam, KS to Aaron and Ann Kranker. He graduated in 2016 from Blue Valley High School. Adam later attended Pittsburg State University and became a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Construction Management in 2020.

 Adam was most recently living in Huntington Beach, California, where he enjoyed warm weather, being close to the beach, and learning how to surf. He loved traveling for work with his father, Aaron, so they could be on the same jobs together. They worked together in Huntington Beach, California and St. Clair, Michigan where they created many fond memories.

 Adam was hardworking and loyal. He was too funny for words and had the ability to light up a room with his goofy jokes. He was a huge sports fan and loved watching and attending games, especially the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals. He always represented them, even when he lived out of state.

 He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Don Kranker, his father, Aaron Kranker, and two sisters, Ashden and Andrea Kranker. Adam is survived by his grandmother, Gay Kranker, his grandparents, Ron and Judy Tincher, his mother, Ann Kranker, his sister, Abby Kranker, and many other loved ones.
