Mark Henry Kramer

To Dear leslie and Family .

We were so very sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. We have many fond memories of you both as our neighbors—especially the kids playing together and the warmth that always surrounded your family.

Mark always seemed like such a happy and kind-hearted person. We hope the beautiful memories you shared will bring you comfort and strength during this difficult time.

With deepest sympathy, Paula and Steve Madeiros.

It is with deep sadness and enduring respect that I remember a colleague and friend Mark. His steady presence and a kind soul brought warmth and integrity to every project and every conversation. He was thoughtful and humble, never seeking the spotlight, yet always showing up with care and commitment. His legacy lives on not only in the work he accomplished but in the hearts of those who had the privilege to know him.
Rest peacefully, Mark. I miss you and I miss our chats and talks.
You will always be remembered with love.
Heartfelt condolences to the family.

I miss my friend and have already posted a tribute but just came across this photo of him and Bob at our house on the Sunshine Coast which he always loved visiting. Looking very relaxed.

I met Mark at Wood in July 2019 and we became instant work buddies. Mark's work ethic and dedication to engineering detail was inspirational. He was respected and admired by all in the office. I truly enjoyed chatting with Mark every day mostly about what we were going to do in retirement. I express my heartfelt sympathy to Mark's family he was truly a special person.

My deepest condolences to the family on your lose. I didn't work with Mark directly, but I have fond memories of him when we worked together in the Burnaby office.

There is never the right words to say when a family has experienced such a heartbreaking loss. Mark "Hank" was a good man, devoted to his family. Our friendship spanned decades, thoughts of him will always bring a smile.

Rest in Peace Mark! During this difficult time, my thoughts are with Mark’s family. I wish you comfort in the love and support of those around you, strength and peace in the days ahead.

Please accept my condolences for your loss. Mark was a past colleague of many years and a great friend!

It is with much sadness to hear that Mark passed away after seeing him last year. I thought he had this beat but clearly not, too young!

My thoughts are with Leslie, Rachael, Martine and Nolan, and the family during this difficult time. I wish you comfort in those around you and strength and peace in the days ahead.

Mark was mijn neef en ik herinner mij zijn tijd bij ons thuis. Een knappe, lieve jonge man. Ik wens jullie, familie en vrienden, alle sterkte!
Lieve groet uit Holland

Mark was a wonderful colleague with whom I worked with occasionally and always enjoyed those moments of interaction because I could see how sharp his mind was and watched him tell me things he could see that I could not. Over the sparse interactions over the years, I learnt quite a few things just through normal work discussions. Mark was always positive, very talented and made work related problems very easy to resolve, he was one of the best colleagues I ever worked with.

How sad to hear that Mark passed away. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. I was fortunate to have worked with him on the Trans -Israel Hwy, a 1st of it's kind megaproject in Israel. Without Mark's amazing ability to demand and integrate methods, procedures, and basic dicipline, we wouldn't have acheived the successful completion of the project. May his memory be blessed.🙏🏻

Very sad to hear of Marks passing. Hadn’t seen him for years but remember him as a gentle soul loaded with talent. We knew each other in Oakville as I went out with his sister Nicolette. A great family !
My heartfelt condolences to the entire Kramer family.

R.I.P. Mark 🙏💜

Mark was my boss for 4 years between 2000-20024 in Israel.
An amazing man, a true gentleman, a thoughtful and smiling manager. People-oriented and not arrogant. I loved him very much. My condolences to the family.

It was a privilege to know you Mark. Even if it was few and far between. You were a special person in my life.

I first got to know Mark from a photo I took of him to produce for picture ID. It's my way to get to know everyone by name. He did have a sense of humor and will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with Mark's family in their time of sorrow.

We met Mark when we lived just down the street from them in the 90s. Our girls played with Martine and Rachel, and the girls were all in swimming together. Mark and I stayed in loose touch after the girls finished swimming. He, my wife and a few others climbed Golden Ears for his 40th birthday.
We became closer friends again when Mark reached out to me on social media shortly after he had his first surgery. We got together for dinner and he told me of his condition. I encouraged him to join our walking group, which he did, but unfortunately he was only able to join us a few times as his health began to worsen. We continued to get together for lunches out - his favourite was having pepperoni pizza at the Patch, where we went several times and sat outside and enjoyed the view of the mountains. After our meal, we would go shopping for the little stuff he needed and we even went together for a couple of his health appointments. He had his low moments, but mostly he spoke with pride of his kids and how he felt about what was going on in the world around him.
I think Mark and I became very close in those recent times and I'd like to think that he felt so too. He was a great father and a great friend. His love of his family and the outdoors shone through all of the time that I knew him. The last time we spoke, I promised him we would go to lunch before I left on my cycling trip. I think he knew better, as he just hugged me and wished me luck on my trip. You are missed, my friend. You will be in my heart on my upcoming adventure.

Mark was one of my oldest and dearest friends and his passing at such a young age is heartbreaking. He was smart, kind, caring, fun to be around, loved life and you could always depend on him for anything. Miss him. My deepest condolescences to Lesley, the kids and family and all my love during this tough time.

I met Mark when I moved to Vancouver in 1988. We became very good friends and remained close until his passing. He was a great person, highly intelligent with a wonderful sense of humour and a passion for life. Deepest condolences to Leslie and the family, Mark will be missed.

See you on the other side buddy. Love ya.

Mark and l attended Oakville Trafalgar High School together. It's there that many of our memories were made. After Mark moved to British Columbia we continued to keep in touch. I joined him during Expo and continued over the years to spend time together with our families. I enjoyed many BBQ s at his sister's and mom's house, as well as a shared a birthday .
Mark made everyone feel at ease with his sense of humour. His generosity, spirit and friendship left an impression on everyone he knew. We kept in touch until the end and I carry a deep affectionate and gratitude for the years and memories we shared.

Mark, always welcoming, wonderful, kind, compassionate and funny. The guy who you would want in your court.
Wish we had more time get to know you.
Sending much love and strength to all of those closest to him.
His spirit is strong and he will always be with you ! Anthony, Patty , Connor and Korben Roos

Mark was more than a colleague - he was a true friend. I could always count on him to have my back. His support during the time our paths crossed meant the world to me.

I will forever cherish his wisdom, kindness, integrity, and humor. It’s very rare to meet someone as exceptional as Mark. I feel fortunate for our friendship.

During this difficult time, my thoughts are with Mark’s family. I wish you comfort in the love and support of those around you; and, strength and peace in the days ahead.

Dear Leslie and family
It is with much surprise that we learnt of Mark’s death, Gilles and I remember him as a fine gentleman and a great person. Our heartfelt condolences to you and family. Sending love and strength during these trying times
