Timothy "TK" J. Kramer

March 8, 1957 - June 7, 2017

Timothy J. "TK" Kramer, 60, of Butler, PA, passed away Wednesday, June 7, 2017 at his residence. He was born March 8, 1957 in Butler, the son of the late JoAnn (Lorenz) Kramer. Timothy had a long career as a hair stylist, owning his own salon and then working for others until a knee injury ended his career. Tim possessed a work ethic that can only be described as that of a workaholic. TK was a hardworking modest man with a heart of gold. He was quick to help anyone he perceived as less fortunate than himself. He had recently had a cancer scare that had renewed his hope for the future, determined to live a healthy lifestyle and overcome his breathing difficulties. TK seldom complained or burdened others as a self reliant individual. His sudden unexpected death came as a shock to his family. Surviving are 2 sisters, Babs (Mark) Genemore and Anna (Mark) Potwora; a brother, Michael Kramer; his beloved aunt, Shirley A. Lorenz Zarnick, who became his maternal figure for 44 years; uncle, Bo Lorenz; his cousins, Paula Zarnick Snodgrass and Jonie Zarnick, whom treated him like a brother, and 3 nephews and a niece and numerous cousins. Private service and burial will be held at a later date.
