Lehman Kramer

Lehman “Lee” Kramer 55, died suddenly in his home in Troy, to be with the Lord on the morning of July 2, 2015. He was born March 14, 1960, to Ted and Cynthia “Cindy” Kramer in Albany, Ore.

He was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle and grandfather. He married the love of his life in 1981 in St. Ignatius. He spent his lifetime devoted to ministry, as pastor and worship leader, particularly in worship as a guitarist and singer. He took every opportunity to share his faith in Jesus with anyone he spent time with.

Lehman’s family moved from Oregon to Montana and found Jesus in 1972, and led the rest of his family to Christ in 1982. He crafted Autumn Longbows with his family for 25 years and performed archery exhibitions with precision and expertise. He was raised in a family that loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, teepee living and that passion remained strong throughout his life. He started his computer business in 1994, where he serviced the greater Lincoln County and outlying counties. His online friends may know him better as “RubberMallet” or “General Lee,” where he spent many hours playing his favorite games involving tanks.

Lee made a huge impact in his community. His compassion and friendship touched many lives and his absence will be felt by the many facets and roles he played in all our lives. He gave good hugs, always had a smile and a childlike excitement in all the things he enjoyed doing.

 He is survived by his father Ted Kramer, and wife Patricia “Patty” Kramer; two brothers, Dan Kramer (Gloria) and Greg Kramer; his sister, Karla Martinson (Curtis); two sons, Nathanael Kramer and Ramiah Kramer (Shannon) and two daughters, Erika Haydon and Melody McCrohan (Jacob), including many nieces, nephews, and grandchildren.

His Memorial Celebration of Life will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 1 at the Troy Community Baptist Church.  Arrangements are by Schnackenberg & Nelson Funeral Home & Crematory in Libby.  Online condolences and memories may be shared at www.schnackenbergfh.com.
