Dane, one of first cousins, is deserving of a host of tributes. Here’s what I can offer based on the precious few moments I had during his 49 years. Of the 28 Kramer first cousins, I am the first and Dane and sister Cassidy are the two lasts. As oldest cousin, I babysat him. He cried a lot. Maybe his was struggling to jump out of his own skin or his crib, but ‘they’ say early crying predicts intelligence. In Dane’s case, this became true. He was bright and clever far beyond his education. So much so that he wasn’t comfortable following traditional paths. He was a free spirit. His creative talents settled into designing and creating signage, and it became a successful venture. His website was always worth checking as his sense of humor was all over it. He made you laugh in a sort of twisted ironic way. He was not shy to share his world views amidst political comment. I came to know him as clever, patient, kind, generous and loving. Because I relocated after college, I was rarely in town for extended family events. One such visit for the Annual Kramer Christmas party was sponsored by Dane (the first cousin to volunteer for this huge undertaking). His unique flavor was evident and it was most memorable. Another visit to Indy luckily coincided with Dane’s wedding, and I happily crashed the celebration. Intrigue ran high to see who Dane had chosen, and Jayme did not disappoint….ideal for him. I followed his postings on line, to see the growth of his family and appreciate Dane’s joy in raising those three babies. Dane followed no rules, for example, he put his vegetable garden in the front yard close to all the children’s toys and playsets (which he also made). It’s possible some details may be bit wrong, but whatever Dane did it was always amazing, it was always clever, it was always loving, and it was a bit OFF. This is what I loved most about him. He was not afraid to be different. With tears of gratitude for his life among us, he left us entirely too soon. A loss too great to imagine for Jayme, the children, his parents, sister, and all loved ones. With prayers that Dane now rests with the angels and saints in Heaven, I also pray he is busy setting up his celestial website. The precious little I knew of Dane, leaves me wishing for more of his blessings. With love, As ever, Cousin Debbie
Dane was my first best friend. running the mean street of Dequincy was a blast. we spent many hours playing with star wars figures, playing in the tree house and sliding down the cardboard slide in the basement. All my memories of you are a blessing. we grew apart as time went by but you were always close to my heart and you always will be. Peace brother.

Our deepest sympathies go out to each of you. the tributes left here speak quite clearly of Dane being a loving father, husband friend and family member and we were told also a strong fan of motor racing. May God grant you peace and comfort in the days ahead . From the Speedway Professional Firefighters
