Timothy Kramer, a pediatric dentist from Whitefish, died shortly before midnight Friday when his pickup rolled on a private road.
Trooper Dustin LeRette says the pickup veered to the right side of the road, and Kramer overcorrected and lost control of the vehicle. The pickup rolled onto its top.
LeRette says Kramer wasn't wearing a seat belt and was pinned under the pickup. He died at the scene.
LeRette says Kramer's one passenger was wearing a seat belt and suffered no serious injuries. His name was not released.
LeRette says alcohol was a factor in the crash.
Kramer founded Kalispell Kidds, a pediatric dental practice to serve children of all income levels. His funeral Service is Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 5:30 p.m. at St. Charles Borromeo Church, 230 Baker Ave. in Whitefish. A memorial service will immediately follow at the Monterra in Whitefish.

Tim and I went to UT together and were fraternity brothers. Tim always had a super attitude about life, family, and friends. Just reading about all of his accomplishments as a father, specialists and outdoorsman was amazing - but at the same time certainly expected. He was a special guy.
