Please dress casually in Scott's honor. Arrangements by Murdoch Funeral Home & Cremation Center, Marion, Iowa.
Scott was born January 21, 1965, in Independence, to his parents Tim Kramme and Jane (Maltas) Groff. He attended Jefferson High School and graduated in the Class of 1983, and then attended Kirkwood Community College. Scott married Delilah Olson in Hiawatha, Iowa, on April 20, 1991. He worked hard and was dedicated to his job at the Duane Arnold Nuclear Power Plant for 28 years. Scott cared deeply for his co-workers and the friends he made there.
He is survived by his wife of 23 years, Delilah; his sons, Dalton and Walker, who were his pride and joy; his mother and stepfather, Jane and Al Groff of Cedar Rapids; his father and stepmother, Tim and Linda Kramme of Stout, Iowa; his siblings, Teresa (Travis) Perry of Cedar Rapids, Brian Kramme of Cedar Rapids and Deanna (Jon) Fellmer of Palo; his mother- and father-in-law, Kathy and Gerry Moser of Toddville; his siblings-in-law, Kitty (Steve) Teufel of Robins, Jerry (Karla) Moser of Missouri, Greg (Chris) Moser of Center Point, Gene (Deanna) Moser of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Galond (Stacey) Moser of Fairfax; and many nieces, nephews, and close friends.
Scott was preceded in death by his good friend, Dave Spicer.
What do you say about a man that meant so much to so many? To know him was to love him. More than just a man, Scott Kramme was a loving husband, a great father, a wonderful son, a compassionate brother, a devoted uncle, an inspiring coach and one of the best friends anyone could ask for.
In school he was active in football and wrestling. He carried his love of sports into adulthood where he played softball, loved to snowmobile and hunt. He also enjoyed Nascar Racing and the Minnesota Vikings. Later in life he could be found cheering from the sidelines as he watched his boys at their sporting events at Alburnett High School. GO PIRATES!!
Scott loved his family. He had a heart of gold and was a kind, selfless man who was not ready to leave this Earth. Those who knew him, know he had more to do and more to give. He loved life and fought against overwhelming odds to stay with us for as long as possible. He gave his all and never complained. He fought a good fight and his strength will continue to inspire long after the ink on this page fades away.
His niece said it best: “Today Earth lost a great man and Heaven gained a very strong angel.”
In lieu flowers, memorials may be directed to the family.
