Rhadamanthus on Plainswalker abilities and the stack

To back up what Neotrup explained: the only times an ability will fail to resolve properly if its source gets destroyed are when the ability specifically checks to see if its source is still on the battlefield (Durkwood Tracker, Myr Servitor, etc.) or if part of the effect is subject to a specific game rule that says the object still has to be on the battlefield in order for it to work ("exchanging" control of permanents, the "fight" keyword action, etc.). The cards in your example don't fall into either of these categories, so the abilities will resolve normally if the source gets destroyed.
Also consider this: activated abilities that require you to sacrifice the source as part of paying the cost (Insolent Neonate, Crackling Triton, etc.) wouldn't be able to work at all if removing the source also stopped the ability on the stack.
