Marc Kramer, of Minneapolis, died on April 29 at the age of 71 after a recent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
Marc was kind, funny, inquisitive, industrious, and creative. He gave of himself generously as a champion and cheerleader for everyone he knew. He enjoyed being with people and was masterful at conversation and always adept with a good quip. He was beloved by his family and cherished friends, many of whom were lifetime companions. For 25 years, he was founder and CEO of ProjectWorks, focused on corporate communications, entrepreneurial projects and fostering creative talent.
Marc is survived by his wife Cynthia Hechter Rollins, stepson Coleman Rollins and daughter-in-law Alona Trekhlib, brother Lorin and wife Susan, brother Robert and wife Susi Saxl, and many nieces and nephews he held dear. Marc was preceded in death by his parents Ben and Anita Kramer.
Recently, Marc described his life:
I tried to live a good life. I was blessed with a wonderful family and numerous friends who know I love them. I had an exciting business career working with gifted "work-horses" - they know who they are! I was lucky to spend the last 20 years with the love of my life, Cynthia and my stepson Coleman and daughter-in-law Alona. I look forward to seeing you on the next trip!
There will be a private family memorial. Per Marc's request there will be a celebration of life on July 10th, 2023 - his 72nd birthday. Details to follow in early July. Marc's family wishes to thank the Allina Health staff and J.A. Wedum Residential Hospice for their compassionate care. Donations in Marc's memory may be made to Habitat for Humanity and Represent Us.
