Cole Eugene Kramer

Cole Eugene Kramer, 37, passed away unexpectedly at his home February 27, 2023 in North Mankato, MN.  He was surrounded by his loving family.  

Cole was born in Mankato, MN to parents Keith and Jan Kramer (Korth) of Mankato, MN. He graduated from Mankato West High School where he excelled on the football field, winning the 2002 MN State Football Championship. Cole was passionate about any MN sports teams and loved watching the Vikings, Timberwolves and the Twins with his family and friends. He grew up hunting, fishing and playing sports in Mankato and was loved by all of his friends and family who had an opportunity to be with him. Cole has been a store manager at A to Z Rental in Mankato for almost 20 years and will be greatly missed by his work family.  

Everyone who knows Cole could expect a funny joke or sports fact.  He was always fascinated by the weather and loved watching the storms come through the river valley and was a great person to share a bonfire with while stargazing. Cole always looked out for his friends and family as well as being the most sincere and caring son, brother, cousin, uncle, nephew, and friend the world has seen. He will be greatly missed by everyone.

Cole is survived by his parents, Keith and Jan Kramer (Korth) of North Mankato; brothers, Nick (Niki) Kramer of Otsego and Jesse Kramer of North Mankato; nephew, Hunter; nieces, Dakota, Cheyenne and Sydney; and grandmothers, Marilyn Korth and Rita Kramer.

Preceded in death by grandfather, Marvin (Geraldine) Kramer; grandfather, Jim Korth; and uncle, Greg Korth.

A celebration of Cole's life will be scheduled and announced at a later date.
