David Grant Kramer

In Loving Memory of David Grant Kramer David, affectionately known as “Uncle Dave,” “Mr. Dave,” or simply “Dave,” passed away on July 30, 2025, at the age of 67, surrounded by family and love. We are devastated by this tragic loss, which followed complications from sepsis that led to two cardiac arrests and subsequent organ failure. Though David never married or had children of his own, he helped raise generations of nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews—becoming a father figure, confidant, and constant source of joy to all who knew him. Born on June 16, 1958, in Mt. Holly, NJ, to Charles Elwood (Chuck) and Dorothy Edith (Dottie) Kramer, David was the fifth of eight siblings. He was preceded in death by four of his brothers—Robert Goldy, Charles Kramer, Billy Kramer, and Ricky Kramer—as well as his parents, grandmother, and other loved ones. He is survived by his brother John Goldy; three sisters, Sandra Hummel, Candace Kramer, and JudyRae Worrell (Seward); his nieces—Megen Sinclair, Jessica Kramer, Annie Kramer, Roxanne Kelly, Mara Frake, Jamie Hummel, Amanda Hummel, Chloie Hummel, Julianne Goldy, and Sydnie Simons; his nephews—John Goldy Jr., Kyle Kramer, Tyler Rockhill, Kenny Frake, Jason Goldy, and Barry Worrell Jr.; and many great-nieces and great-nephews, including the youngest, just a month old at the time of his passing. Another great-nephew, due to arrive later this year, was already lovingly on his way when David passed—a boy who will carry on the Kramer name and a piece of David’s legacy. Dave was part of a sprawling, close-knit family, full of cousins, pets, and shared memories that live on in every corner of our hearts. David lived with diabetes for much of his adult life, meeting every health challenge with grace. He was the glue that held his vast family together, and if we learned anything from Uncle Dave, it’s that family comes first. His most admired accomplishment was placing family above all else—reminding each of us what truly matters. His voice lit up every voicemail. His laughter filled every room. And even while allergic, he treated every dog like it was his own. That’s just who he was—warm-hearted, generous, and profoundly empathetic. He cared about everyone he met, holding doors for strangers and constantly bragging about how proud he was of his family and their accomplishments, big or small. Some of his favorite pastimes included playing bingo and visiting the Evergreen Dairy Bar. No matter the outing, it was the company that mattered most to Dave. He loved spending time with family no matter what we were doing—and made every moment feel like something worth celebrating. His absence leaves a void that can never be truly filled. Yet we find solace in knowing that when his time came, he left this world with his loved ones by his side. As we reflect on the good times we were blessed to share, we stay strong and move forward—just as Dave would want us to. And in our hearts, we know his final message would be: “Yeah, just letting you know I’m home. Alright, see ya later, luv ya, bye.” On July 30, David finally made it home. A viewing and service will be held in David’s honor at Perinchief Chapels, 438 High Street, Mt. Holly, NJ 08060, on Thursday, August 7, 2025, with viewing from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and services starting after the viewing at 9:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Children’s Diabetes Foundation—a cause close to David’s heart.
