Ronald Wayne Trader
Ronald Wayne Trader
St. Joseph, Mo.
Ronald Wayne Trader, 67, was from Cedar Rapids, but moved to St. Joseph, Mo., years ago.
Ron is survived by his siblings, Wanita (Bill) McNabb, Jo (Dan) Hurt, David (Sheila) Pierson and Ben (Mona) Pierson; brother-in-law, Jack Krimmel; and many nieces and nephews. Ron never had any kids of his own so all of his nieces and nephews held a special place in his heart.
He was preceded in death by parents, Melvin Pierson and Larraine (Gene) Kiefer; sister, Patricia Krimmel; brothers, Robert Pierson and Cecil Pierson; one niece; and four nephews.
He will be missed by his family and friends.
