Kenny was always happy, and always busy If he heard music, he would start dancing and singing. He loved to tease. Kenny enjoyed life. Our whole family loved Kenny, & considered him our own. Holidays will not be the same, without him. We will always miss him. Rest In Peace, Dear Kenny, God has a special place for you, & you are now singing and dancing, with your Mom, Dad, Sister, & Brother in Heaven. God broke our hearts to prove to us that he only takes the best.
Oh Kenny! What are we going to do without you? You will forever be in our hearts. So many memories! You have enhanced my life and I am so happy to have been a part of yours. I hope you are riding that big roller coaster in the sky! We will all miss you so much. I can’t even imagine an auction without you, Christmas without you, Thanksgiving without you.. Life without you. Rest in Peace! All my love, Donna

Danny and Jennifer – We are just all heartbroken that Kenny is gone. We still can hardly believe it. Our whole family loved him. Kenny was around since our boys were little, and he was like a member of our family. Rick saw him most days of the week once Kenny started working for us years ago. Kenny was Rick’s side kick in the passenger seat of his truck. Most days, Kenny went where Rick went during the week and it worked out great. Kenny was such a big part of the auctions and was always there willing and ready to help. Kenny was there for our kids graduation parties and special events through out the years, and the holidays. Man could Kenny eat! Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations will not be the same without Kenny. He absolutely loved playing Rob Your Neighbor at Christmas at our house, and he would hide some of the packages or lottery envelopes so others couldn’t steal the packages from him. Those were sure good times. I am glad that we got the chance to take him to the casino, the music show, out to eat often and Indiana, as well as numerous other places through out the years, and that we got to see those events through his eyes. The simplest things in life gave Kenny the greatest joy. We are all going to miss him. We thought the world of him. The customers at the auctions all knew and loved him as well. Rest in peace our dear Kenny.
Kenny like to tell a joke he very funny get me laughing and jiggling I can’t stop laughing got my faces cracking up he like to tickling me I laughed very hard he fun to be with friends he good dancing I miss all the fun we have
Greg and I got to know Kenny while attending and working at the Moffat Auctions. Kenny enjoyed telling Greg stories. Kenny was always willing to give me a hand carrying boxes or just keeping me company while I worked on online sales. It was easy to see that Kenny had a kind and gentle soul by the way he took care of Sweetie, the auction barn cat. RIP Kenny, we will miss you. Greg and Barb Kliethermes
Dan: I got to see Kenny when we sold my Mom’s house a year or so ago, he was the bright spot in the auction process. He helped me all day and we talked and told stories about our Dad’s He was a real gentleman and a wonderful person. You are in my prayers.
Our deepest sympathy to the Crader family.
Danny, I was saddened to learn of your brother’s passing. Please know you and all your family are in my prayers.
Danny, I was so saddened to hear of Kenny’s passing. Everyone that works at the auction and our customers will miss him very much. He was always so happy to help everyone. He offered to come cut my grass many times and talked about going on a cruise. Kenny enjoyed life to its fullest. Please accept my condolences. Rest easy Kenny.

Rest in peace Kenny Crader. ߙϰߙ worked with you at Johnny’s barbecue. Ruth Schaefer
Sorry Danny for lost.
I lived across the street from Kenny as a child when I lived in Jefferson City. It’s sad that he passed but comforting to know Lorri is with him right now. We had a lot of good times wandering Gray’s Creek to the river. Rest in peace, Kenny.
Kenny was a sweet guy! Will miss seeing him at auctions.
