OBITUARY
Kerry Alan Myer
April 12, 1961 - February 4, 2024
Kerry Alan Myer, 62, came to the end of his
earthly sojourn and went home to live forever in Heaven on February 4, 2024.
He was born April 12, 1961, in Pueblo, CO to Arthur and Artis Myer, the oldest
of three sons. He later grew up in Carrollton, Texas and attended R.L Turner
High School where he met his high school sweetheart, Lynda Stewart, whom after
dating for five and a half years, he married on September 24, 1983. Together
they had six children and were married for an adventurous 40 years. Kerry worked
as an automotive technician for most of his life and in 2020 realized his dream
of opening his own shop, Myer Family Automotive. Some favorite hobbies of his
were playing soccer, camping, 4-wheeling, canoeing, hiking, sitting on his front
porch watching the storms roll in, and tinkering after hours at the shop with
his kids and grandkids. He treasured spending time with his family. Over the
years, from mission trips abroad to local churches to his business, Kerry used
his gifts and talents to serve the Lord, serve others, and model Christ. He was
always happy to share his wisdom and experience with others and was not only a
gracious and thorough teacher, but a faithful friend, dedicated brother and son,
attentive husband, and ever present, loving father. His faith, passed down to
him from his parents, was passed on to his own children and grandchildren, whom
he loved well, in a legacy that will forever be cherished. “The Lord is my
shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me
beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they
comfort me.” Psalm 23:1-4 He was ready to go, but we were not ready to lose him,
and his death has awakened a deeper homesickness in all of us who loved him.
Kerry was preceded in death by his mother, Artis Myer. He is survived by his
wife, Lynda Myer; daughters Sara Barrett and husband Chad, Lily Kernan and
husband Matthew, and Jessyca Myer; sons Kalan Myer, Kyle Myer and wife Becca,
and Jeremiah Myer; grandchildren Jael, Chantry, Killian, and Jubilee Barrett;
father Arthur Myer; brothers Keith Myer and wife Alice, and Kevin Myer and wife
Lainie; and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Memorial Services will be held at 10:30AM, Saturday, February 17, 2024, at First
Baptist Church, Dorchester, Texas. Pastor Zach Poling will officiate. |
