Dallas Rader Obituary

Dallas Roy Rader

Dallas Roy Rader, 62, a beloved brother, uncle and friend, passed away peacefully Tuesday, January 20, 2026, at The Heritage. He was born May 12, 1963, in Findlay, to the late Noble and Janelle Rader, and was a 1981 graduate of McComb High School and Bowling Green State University.

Dallas enjoyed attending Bible studies and was a faithful member of McComb Church of Christ, where he served as treasurer and sang in the choir. Music played a meaningful role throughout his life. He was a proud member of BGSU Men's Chorus and sang with the Voices of Harmony barbershop group, where he enjoyed both the harmony and fellowship it brought. Dallas also found great joy in life's simple pleasures - cheering on the Ohio State Buckeyes, listening to music, watching his collection of DVDs, shopping for treasures at garage sales, especially comic books and Star Trek memorabilia, and playing fantasy football in the Rader Family league, winning multiple Super Bowl titles.

Above all else, Dallas cherished his family, especially game nights. He enjoyed being with his nieces and nephews, which naturally extended to his great-nieces and nephews. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered for his gentle spirit, loyal heart, and mostly for his bad puns.

Dallas is survived by his sisters, Debbie Edel (Jay), Diane Watson (Craig), and Dauri Shank (Randy); his brother, David (Nan); and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, as well as his brother Doug (Patrice).

A celebration of life will begin at 1 p.m. Thursday, February 5, 2026, at Hanneman Funeral Home, 370 Park Drive South, McComb, OH, 45858, with Pastor Craig Watson officiating. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service.

Memorials may be made to a church of the donor's choice.
