Ronald "Ron" A. Schrader, 79, of Lena passed away with his family by his side on Monday January 16, 2023 in Lena, IL. He was born to Walter and Alice (Edler) Schrader on August 12, 1943 in Freeport, IL. Ron graduated from Lanark High School in 1962 where he excelled in football, basketball, and track & field.

Upon graduating from high school, he helped on his family's farm. He then began to work at Kelly Springfield in Freeport, IL until his retirement, after 30 years of service.

He married Pam Koehn on September 1, 2006.

He continued to have a love for farming throughout his life and helped at Harbach Farms in Warren, IL. His passion and love for people kept him active throughout his community by helping with lawn maintenance at the Wolf Hollow Golf Course and doing seasonal work at Swiss Colony in Monroe, WI.

Ron had a love for various sports. He has been an avid Chicago Bears fan, but no love was matched for his Lena-Winslow Panthers. When he wasn't watching sports, he enjoyed riding his motorcycles, hot rods, and jet skis. His summers were filled with many boat and camping trips to Savanna. Ron loved having adventures or just hanging out with a special group of friends who always called him "Uncle Ron". He was like a fun Uncle that everyone dreams of having, but most of all he was a helpful friend to all. Ron loved his animals, and he always had a 4-legged friend.

He has left behind his family who misses him and loved him dearly.
