Kim Craig Rader's Obituary
Kim Craig Rader
1969 - 2017
Kim Craig Rader unexpectedly passed from this life on March 2, 2017 in Salt Lake City, Utah at the age of 47.
Kim was born in American Fork on November 21, 1969 to Kathy Craig and Ted Myrick. Kim spent many years as a single mother of two daughters until meeting her husband of 21 years at the age of 25. Together they had two children. Kim dedicated her life to raising her children and living life to the fullest. She was a social butterfly and enjoyed being with new and old friends alike. She loved to show her support for others and wanted to make sure everyone knew that someone cared about what they had to say. All who knew her, knew of the immense love she had for her children and grandchildren.
Although the memory of Kim will be a constant strength to her children, her presence will be missed dearly by everyone who knew her. Kim is survived by her children, Justine Tala (Kel) Motuliki (29), Brianna Milika Tai (26), Michaela Kimberly Rader (20), and Jaydie Rader (15); ex-husband, Eric Rader; mother, Kathy Craig; father, Ted Myrick; Grandchildren, Jaida (8), Lamar (5), Tyson (3), and Mya (1); two brothers, Todd and Dennis; and her boyfriend, Shawn Samora. She is preceded in death by her grandsons, Noah and Isaiah Stocker. We can only imagine the laughter and joy when they embrace in heaven.
I can no longer see you with my eyes,
Touch you with my hands,
but I will feel you in my heart Forever.
Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky,
Hundreds of shells on the shore together,
Hundreds of birds that go singing by,
Hundreds of birds in the sunny weather.
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.
