Michael Cramer Obituary
Mike was born on April 7, 1960 in Peoria, a son to Thomas and Doris (Noonen) Cramer. Mike graduated from Bergan High School in 1978 and went on to study business at SIU in Carbondale where he graduated in 1983. He moved to Florida shortly after. Mike enjoyed the times he spent living in and traveling to Florida. In Florida, he was in the mortgage banking business. His free time was spent boating, attending sporting events and traveling to his favorite musical venues. Mike's love of life, family and friends will be deeply missed.
Survivors include his father, Thomas Cramer of Peoria; one brother Scott (Chrissy) Cramer of St. Pete Beach, FL; one sister Debbie (Jeff) Heinz of Dunlap; one niece Lauren Wiseman of Washington; two nephews: Sean (Lizzy) Heinz of Kansas City, MO and Kyle (Emily) Heinz of Tulsa, OK; five great nieces and nephews with two on the way; aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.
