Mark Anthony Kramer

Mark A. Kramer, 71, of Niles, MI, formerly of South Bend, IN, left a legacy of love and laughter, passing away on December 7, 2025 surrounded by his loving family in his Michigan home. His family will be holding a private ceremony to celebrate his extraordinary life. A further celebration of life will take place at a later date.

Born on December 9, 1953, in South Bend, IN, to late Raymond and Alice Kramer. Married the love of his life, Kerri A. Kramer, on June 9, 2000. They shared a life filled with love, laughter, and adventure. They enjoyed winters in their home in Estero, FL.  In retirement, Mark enjoyed golf, but most of all, he cherished the friendships he formed along the way. Mark was the owner of several successful businesses in the Michiana area—two of which are Termiguard, termite & pest control (sold several years ago), and  Kramer Properties.

They have three children, Stephanie Witkamp of South Bend; Brandon Bennett of Cassopolis, MI; and Bryan Bennett of Niles, MI; three granddaughters; six siblings, David; Sarah (Sally), preceding him in death; Sam (Cecelia); Joe (Melody); Pat (Gretchen); and numerous nieces and nephews.

Mark will be remembered fondly as a man who loved fiercely, worked tirelessly, laughed easily and brought such joy to those who knew him.

No services are planned at this time. Palmer Funeral Home—Welsheimer Chapel is assisting the family with arrangements.
