Jesse Austin Trader November 29, 1993 - August 6, 2013 Jesse Austin Trader, age 19, the miracle baby of Ted and Gigi Trader, passed away while fighting fires in Merlin Oregon. The water tanker he was driving rolled down an embankment killing Jesse instantly. Even at the end he was trying to protect other truckers. Jesse was doing the job he was called to do, fighting fires. He had just been accepted to Chemeketa Community College where he was going to study to be an EMT, previously he had been at Western Oregon University. Jesse was a great kid, a fine athlete, a person who never said no; a beautiful loving, caring and giving man. He loved baseball, hunting and fishing but most of all loved his family. He is the loving brother of Desiree and Jacob Trader. Friends are invited to a service to honor Jesse’s life at 10:00 am Saturday, August 10, 2013 at the West Albany High School Football Field. As a tribute to Jesse, the family has requested guests to wear Red Sox attire or red, white and blue. He will be truly missed. Jesse is in God’s arms now.
