Jonah Rader Obituary

Jonah L. Rader

Jonah Louis Rader, 24, of Deshler, passed away unexpectedly Thursday, May 4, 2023, at Promedica Toledo Hospital.

He was born May 30, 1998, in Findlay, the youngest child born to Rodney and Christine (Lammers) Rader.

Jonah was a 2017 graduate of Patrick Henry High School. During his high school years, he was active in choir, FFA, and the annual talent shows. He was always a hard worker and willing to lend a hand. He worked at Ron's SuperValu during his school days and for the last five years, he was a front-end worker at Kroger in Bowling Green. Jonah's neighbors and friends could always call on him for house-sitting and dog watching. His genuine kindness and care for others was always evident when you where in Jonah's presence.

He was a life-time member of McComb Church of Christ. Jonah was a car enthusiast and he loved General Motors and Cadillacs. He enjoyed listening to music and his favorite artists were Randy Travis, Mike Manuel, and the late local John Sager. His favorite team was Michigan Wolverines. He had a special connection to the care he was given at the University's hospital over the years.

Family was so important to Jonah and they will remember him for being selfless and putting those he loved first. He was happiest in his role as uncle Jonah, even to the point of considering buying a bigger vehicle so he had room for his niece and nephews. He was a beloved brother and he considered his siblings his best friends.

He is survived by his parents, Rodney and Christine Rader; siblings, Grace Rader (Logan Norden), Hope (Chase) Wright, Dillon Rader, and twin sister, Faith (Reed) Hovest; niece, Maren Wright; nephews, Henry Hovest, Stetson Hovest, and Carl Wright; maternal grandparents, Don and Sharon Lammers; and paternal grandparents, Sue and Rich Souvenier.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Gene Rader.

Visitation will be 2-8 p.m. Tuesday, May 9, 2023, at Feehan-Rodenberger Funeral Home, Deshler, and 10-11 a.m. Wednesday at the church.
