Rafael Angel Amador

Rafael Angel Amador, 45, went home to be with our most precious Heavenly Father on Monday, September 8, 2025.

Born on Sunday, April 13, 1980 in Germany, he was a son of his loving and supportive parents Juan Ramon Amador, Sr., and Vanitta Garcia Amador. Rafael was a hard working man blessed by God with many skills. He worked as a fork lift driver at Gerard Daniels Worldwide, but his talents were far reaching with being very knowledgeable in painting, plumbing, repair work, and as a DI’Yer. He was a man with a heart of love and great compassion to those hurting or sad around him. He was also someone who you knew that if you needed him he would be there, as he had shown countless times.

Surviving, in addition to his parents, are his partner, Ann Musser and her daughter, Jasey; a daughter Lillianna; and sons Micah and Rafael, all of whom he loved with his whole heart; his sister, Alta Garcia and her son Brandon, his brother Juan Amador Jr. and his wife, Jenn and their children Miguel, Andres, and Angelina, his sister Manette Amador and her children Eisabelle and Maria; and great nieces, Nova and Estrella. He is survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins whom he loved greatly.

Following cremation, a memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 20, 2025 at Panebaker Funeral Home & Cremation Care Center, Inc., 311 Broadway, Hanover.

As his family we miss him more than words could ever say and we ask for your prayers that the Lord would strengthen us, but we take great hope in knowing that our most beloved Rafael is singing and praising our Heavenly Father amongst the angels. May the Lord have mercy on us all.
