Lifelong Simi Valley resident Grady Cramer, age 61, died last week after battling Lung Cancer for 10 months.



Grady loved people and animals. His work and hobbies seemed to always revolve around one or the other. After serving in the United States Army for 4 years, Grady experienced a variety of jobs including working in a fish hatchery, running his own business selling reptiles and most recently driving a taxi. Grady loved driving a taxi for the last 11 years. Through his work he met and became fast friends with many people due to his easy going nature and his loving, generous and helpful personality.



Grady enjoyed raising chickens, cows, pigs and a variety of other animals. Grady had a passion for building things, from bird cages to houses. A skill he learned from his father and passed on to his children. Most recently he had been working on building his home in Springville.



Grady is survived by his 6 children: Shawnna, Summer, Sky, Ryan, Nick and Kaley. His 15 grandchildren: Jonathan, Juliet, Jesse, Scarlett, Amanda, Christyn, Joshua, Liberty, Cade, Cash, Caison, Cutter, Oaklie, Coraline and Alexis. His sister Linda and many other relatives and close friends. He is preceded in death by his father, Bruce Cramer, his mother Ruth Cramer and his brother Michael Cramer.
