Edward "Ed" Anthony Kramer, Jr., 58, of Silver Grove, KY, passed away at his home on July 17, 2025. Born on July 6, 1967, to Edward A. Kramer, Sr. and the late Donna Kramer, Ed was a hardworking concrete laborer who took great pride in his work and even greater pride in his family.

Ed loved nothing more than spending time with his grandchildren and being surrounded by the people he loved. Whether it was a backyard gathering, a ride on his motorcycle, or simply a quiet moment with his family, Ed lived his life with loyalty, laughter, and heart.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Donna, and his brothers, Doug and Keith.

He is survived by his loving wife, Angela Kramer, and his children: Austin Poe, Jacob (Kaytlyn) Poe, Kayla Poe, Shane (Miranda Applegate) Kramer, and Katelyn Kramer. He also leaves behind his siblings: Richard "Skunk" Kramer, Dan "Mud" Kramer, Mark (Theresa) Kramer, Alice (Doug) Greis, and Joyce (Geff) Ortlieb, along with 15 cherished grandchildren.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, July 26, 2025, from 2:00–5:00 PM at Campbell County Game and Fish, 11218 S. Licking Pike, Alexandria, KY 41001.

Ed will be remembered for his strong spirit, his love for family, and the memories he helped create that will last a lifetime.
