Grammer was born in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, the son of Sally (née Cranmer), a singer, and Frank Allen Grammer, Jr., a musician and owner of a coffee shop and a bar and grill. He is descended from Massachusetts Governor Thomas Dudley. His parents' marriage ended when he was young; his mother took him to live with her, and he was partly raised in New Jersey by his maternal grandparents, Evangeline Dimmock and Gordon Cranmer.
His family life has been plagued by tragedies. In 1968, when Grammer was thirteen, his father, whom he had only seen twice since his parents' divorce, was murdered on the front lawn of his home in the U.S. Virgin Islands. In 1975, his sister was raped and murdered after being abducted outside a Red Lobster restaurant in Colorado Springs, Colorado where her boyfriend worked. He has sworn to prevent his sister's murderer from being paroled. In 1980, his younger half-brothers were killed by a shark in a SCUBA diving accident. Grammer's mother died on 7 July 2008.
