Mr. Kaleb Riordan Kramer

Kaleb Riordan Kramer, 33, native of New Iberia, Louisiana and resident of Henderson, Texas, was born on February 28, 1993 to Debi and Kent Kramer. He passed away on August 9, 2026. Kaleb was known to his family as brother, son, punkin, and love bug, and to many others as friend, coullion, and Krazy Kramer. He was a truly vibrant young man who lived life to the absolute fullest and left a mark on all who were privileged enough to have known and loved him. He was born and raised in New Iberia, Louisiana, where he attended North Lewis Elementary School and Belle Place Middle School and graduated from New Iberia Senior High School in 2011. He attended WyoTech in Laramie, Wyoming, and pursued his passion for auto fabrication work and earned his Associate of Business. After graduating, he moved to Henderson and became a founder and owner of Rogue Off-Road, which he operated in Jacksonville, Texas. He had a particular knack for building a community wherever he went, and he forged countless lasting friendships through his work. He also tirelessly supported his team at Rogue and effortlessly made them feel like family. Kaleb was an astonishingly talented musician, though he was much too humble to admit it, and he enjoyed sharing music with his beloved little sister and jamming with his close friends. Kaleb was especially passionate about flying, and true to his fearless nature, he found immense joy taking to the skies. To say that he “lived” would be a massive understatement, as he truly embodied the spirit of life in all that he did. There were no obstacles that could deter him from enjoying his passions, and he was uniquely capable of instilling that same joy in those around him. Kaleb was fiercely protective of his siblings, Kent and Amélie, whom he loved and supported with every fiber of his being. He and his older brother shared an incredibly beautiful bond only brothers can know, forged through a shared love of building and repairing engines and boats (most of which they broke themselves), enjoying the outdoors, and spending time on the water. Their bond was built on a lifetime of shared work, hardships, laughter, and memories. He was also his little sister’s biggest supporter and closest confidant, and he was immensely proud of the woman she has become. He fully embraced his role as the “fun uncle” and parrain to his beloved godchild, Everett, and hoped to share his passion for life with him for many years to come. When he was not at Rogue, he was with his cousin and best friend, Trey. They shared a love of flying, restoring planes and cars, and buying and fixing just about anything they could get their hands on. There was no project too big or too small for this duo. From a young age, Kaleb and Trey spent countless hours working on the farmland in Henderson, bringing their many projects back there to work on together. That same land remained a place they returned to throughout their lives, and even into adulthood, you could often find the two of them there, working on their latest project, but now with Trey’s two sons following as shadows behind them. Kaleb recently endured a challenging battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, which he overcame with an inspiring degree of grace. Despite the initial uncertainty of his prognosis, he maintained his trademark joie de vivre and remained undaunted throughout the treatment process, refusing to show any signs of weakness. His experience facing cancer only fortified his intrepid constitution and strong sense of purpose. Kaleb was unapologetically himself and cherished every opportunity to push boundaries, ask hard questions, speak hard truths, and offer a style of support and love that was intrinsic to him. His fearless nature also enabled him to connect with every person he encountered, and interactions with him made people genuinely feel seen and understood, regardless of the context. He is preceded in death by his brother, Kent Kramer III; his paternal grandfather, Kent Kramer Sr.; his maternal grandfather, Richard Segura Sr.; his uncle, Kasey Kramer; his maternal step-grandmother, Lucy Segura. He is survived by his mother, Debi Doerle (Gordon); his father, Kent Kramer Jr. (Carol Ann); his sister, Amelie Byrom (Blake); his beloved nephew & Godson, Everett Byrom; paternal grandmother, Billie Sue Kramer; maternal grandmother, Norma Migues; and countless aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who loved him dearly. A Celebration of Kaleb’s Life will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at Rusk County Airport. Family and friends are invited to come together to celebrate his life, share memories, and honor the lasting impact he made on all who knew and loved him. In lieu of flowers, Kaleb’s family asks that you consider making a donation in his memory to Blood Cancer United at PO Box 22324, New York, NY 10087 or online at https://bloodcancerunited.org/. Words of comfort may be shared with the family at www.crawfordacrim.com.
