William Kramer Obituary
William (Bill) Ren Kramer, 49, of Valentine, Nebraska, passed away peacefully on October 29, 2025. He was preceded in death by his loving parents, Robert and Katherine Kramer, and is survived by his three sisters, Patricia Sherman, Dorothy Gallino, and Roberta Whalen-Lomax. He also had numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews.
Bill was known for his humor, kindness, and his ability to make everyone he met feel like an old friend. He never knew a stranger and was always quick with a laugh or a story. He loved his family deeply — especially his nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews — who brought him endless joy.
A gifted craftsman, Bill created beautiful woodwork that reflected his creativity and care. Though he faced challenges, including his struggle with addiction to alcohol, he will be remembered for his loyal heart, generous spirit, and unwavering love for those close to him.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Alcoholics Anonymous or a local recovery program in Bill’s memory.
