Jonathan "Johnny" Rader was born on February 23, 1969 in Bloomington, Indiana to Stanley & Linda Rader.
He moved to Lancaster, CA while still a toddler & lived most of his life in California. He was particularly fond of Northern California and lived most of his adult life in Humbolt County.
He moved to Portland Oregon in 2013, and in 2015, was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of Multiple Sclerosis.
He met his wife in 2016 and spent his last years in her care. He was never one to let his illness define him and spent these last years smiling, laughing and loving. He loved gardening and nature, and longed for the days when he could indulge in activities related to these things. He was known for his quick wit, his infectious smile and his giant, warm heart. Johnny is survived by his loving wife, Stephanie.
His beautiful daughter, Alexandre.
His parents, Stanley & Linda.
His brother, Nathan.
His two sisters, Laura & Leslie.
Nieces Brigitte & Megan
