<div>On March 17, 2026, We lost our father, Kraig S. Kramer, unexpectedly when he passed away in his sleep at home in North Bend, Washington. Our hearts are broken, and we are still trying to make sense of such a sudden loss.

</div>

</div>

<div>Our dad had recently taken a fall and thought he had cracked or broken a rib. Believing it would just take time to heal, he tried to deal with the pain on his own, not knowing how serious it may have been. We never imagined we would lose him this way.

</div>

</div>

<div>Kraig was a well-known and deeply loved part of the North Bend community. He worked for the City of North Bend from 1991 until retiring in 2022, and during those years he built so many friendships and touched so many lives. Everybody in the valley loved and adored him, just as he loved and cared for them.

<div>More than anything, our dad was a proud father of us three girls and a grandfather to his six grandchildren, who knew him as “Papa.” Being their Papa was one of his greatest joys in life. He loved spending time with them, making them laugh and spoiling them. The love he had for them was endless.

</div>

</div>

<div>Our father tried to prepare as much as he could and had started making funeral arrangements so that his daughters would not be left with everything, but unfortunately those expenses were not fully covered. On top of that, because there was no will in place, we now have to go through probate before we can settle many of his affairs.

</div>

</div>

<div>Our dad lived in his home for the last 35 years, and there is a lifetime of memories, belongings, and responsibilities there that we now have to sort through. As we work through that process, we are also trying to keep the lights on and cover the basic expenses needed to maintain his home.

</div>

<div>During this painful and overwhelming time, we are asking for help with funeral costs, household bills, and probate-related expenses. Any amount helps, and even if you are not able to donate, sharing this page would mean so much to our family.
