Mr. Radke was born in Lufkin, Texas, on April 26, 1932, to Paul Radke and Theola Porter Radke. He passed away at his home on January 24, 2025. In his early life, he spent time learning carpentry and construction, which led to owning rental properties and a plant nursery.
He is survived by his son, Jeff Radke; daughter, Jennifer Radke and wife, Jonna; daughter-in-law, Becky Holcombe Radke; grandchildren, Savannah Traylor and husband, Bradley, Coltone Radke, and Natalie Goodan; great-grandsons, Rueben, Harrison, Barnabas, and Hudson; sister, Betty McCarter; and a host of other family members.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Betty Radke, and daughter, Janet Radke. He enjoyed spending time with family and always made sure to show up for every event for all of his kids and grandkids.
Forever grateful for his caregivers, Ashley Farmer and Elizabeth Howard. We will all miss him dearly.
