Obituary

OREGON- Keith Kenneth Kramer, age 79, of Oregon, passed away on Saturday, June 11, 2022, at UW Hospital and Clinics with his wife, Sue, by his side. He was born on July 5, 1942, in Eastman, Wis., the son of Irvin and Helen (Granzow) Kramer.


Keith graduated from Prairie Du Chien High School in 1960. He married Susan Gaulke on September 8th in 2001. Keith worked as a stable owner and loved working with his horses. He was the happiest being out in the fields.


Keith was a jokester and loved to make people laugh.  He especially loved his barn family, he enjoyed giving them a hard time with silly dad jokes. He enjoyed riding in his ‘66 Cobra kit car, watching and traveling to hockey games and sitting on his porch whistling at people as they passed by. He was extremely proud of his sister’s Cowgirl Hall of Fame honors.


Keith is survived by his wife, Sue; three sons, Keven (wife, Vanessa) Kramer, Brett (wife, Lindsey) and Todd (fiancée, Bailey Flesher) Kramer; and three grandchildren, Kyle Kramer, Alizbeth Kramer and Brayson Kramer; as well as his barn family past and present. He was preceded in death by his parents, Helen and Irvin; brother, Russell; and sister, Elaine.

Keith was always the soul of generosity. Doing favors for people and their horses, he gave back more than he ever took. A great and kind presence is now missing.

I worked with Keith at Nagle - Hart Caterpillar in the late 60's. I won't be able to make the visitation, but want to express my deepest sympathy to his family. I still considered him as a friend, even now. Calvin Gilbertson

At 8:35 PM, I just heard...my daughter Megan just called me and told me the terrible news. My heart goes out to Suzi and all your family. Keith is family to me. He worked with my Dad at Nagle-Hart. My Dad had so much respect for Keith. Then one day our neighbor Carl Hilner asked my daughter Megan, when she was 5, if she wanted to ride his horse. Little did we know, that Carl's horse was at Triple K. And of course at Triple K, was Keith. Megan's successful riding career started with Keith at Triple K. At the age of 9, Megan's first horse show was at Triple K. (Fathers keep track of these things.) Her first win and trophy was at Triple K. Attached is a picture of Megan winning a class at Triple K. So many Saturday's attending horse shows at Triple K along with visiting Keith. Please note the picture of us on top of your hill in the pasture. Later on, it was Keith who delivered saw dust to my horse farm. He also transported horses for me, one of my favorite all time pictures is our horse Cheers sticking his head out Keith's trailer. It's a sad day for me. Keith was a wonderful man, a great Father and Husband and a true friend. He will be missed. Have a safe journey my friend, and God Bless you. James Emery
