Jeff Kramer

Growing up in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Jeff was a very outgoing child who loved to play with his friends and cousins. He was happiest spending time outside playing football, hanging out at the lake, and riding his bike all over town. He graduated from Hot Springs High School in 1986, and from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 1995 when he began his career in the transportation industry. He married Lisa Henderson on October 2, 1999 in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. They had one son, Carson Kramer, who is now 17. Jeff was also a member of Grace Avenue United Methodist Church in Frisco, Texas.

Jeff was quick witted and very funny. He always came up with good one-liners and kept his friends and family laughing with his dry, deadpan sense of humor. He took great pleasure in teaching his nieces and nephews to call the hogs (loudly) because their parents did not go to Arkansas. Jeff, aka “Kramer”, “Oz” or “Opossum”, had a passion for cooking. His favorite place was in the kitchen trying a new recipe, or sitting around the kitchen table with family and friends. He also loved watching football and spending time in the pool. His favorite movies were Smokey and the Bandit, Friday Night Lights, The Town, and The Hurt Locker. He was a head banger who loved heavy metal. His favorite bands were Van Halen, Def Leppard and Shinedown. He was one of the best air guitarist and drummers ever, hands down! Jeff was best known for being a loving husband, father and uncle; always willing to help others.

He is preceded in death by his father Paul Kramer; step-mother Miriam Kramer; and dogs Rosceaux, Bandit and Sasha. Left to carry on his legacy are his mother Mary Kramer of The Colony, TX; wife Lisa Kramer of Frisco, TX; son Carson Kramer of Frisco, TX; half-sister Katie Strosnider, husband John and their children Jack and Jenna of Mason, OH; sister and brother-in-law Linda and Jeff Kramer and their children Alyssa and Chase of Frisco, TX; mother-in-law Carolyn Henderson of Dallas, TX; father and stepmother-in-law George and Linda Henderson of Garland, TX.

Jeff was loved while here with us on earth, and will continue to be loved through time and all eternity.
