Support for Zion’s Funeral Services

My name is Chelsea, and our family has recently suffered a devastating loss, with the unexpected passing of my nephew, Zion (25). This page is intended to help raise funds to assist his mother, Melina, (my sister) with the staggering expense of laying her sweet boy to rest. Any and all contributions will go directly to her, to help with that, along with any other needs she and her four other children may need during this difficult time. Your support is so greatly appreciated . The following is an excerpt written by her, to share just a glimpse of the wonderful human he was.

“Zion Elias Kramer, cherished first born son, beloved brother, nephew, cousin, grandson, and friend. Zion was born on April Fool's Day in 1998, and apparently, he got the memo because that boy was full of rich humor, though he was nobody's fool. Zion was a gifted musician and lyricist, a phenomenal artist, an apt pupil desirous of knowledge, and an overcomer in every struggle he encountered. He was attending Moorhead State University and was eager to start the Welding program next week. Zion, we are so proud of you, and while we grapple with the loss of you, we will uphold the memory of who you were to us and celebrate your life. You are missed profoundly, loved eternally. Rest in peace.”
