Donald Ray Myers was born on May 12, 1944, at Cascade, Missouri, the son of Arley and Opal (Pugh) Myers, and passed away on May 22, 2022, at the age of 78 years.
Don was preceded in death by his parents, his step-mother, Gertie (Frymire) Myers, four sisters, Wanda Myers, Kathryn (Myers) Miinch, Betty (Myers) Moyers, Pearl (Myers) Gipson, two brothers Basil Myers, Kenny Myers, two nephews, Steve Miinch, Jamie Mouser, and one niece Amy Myers.
Don is survived by his wife Barbara (Asher) Myers, who he married on August 28, 1966 at Fredericktown, one son Robert "Bobby" (Elaine) Myers, one daughter LaDon Myers, two brothers Harold (Brenda) Myers, Arley (Sharon) Myers, two sisters, Carol Mouser, Marilyn Braswell, and two grandchildren, Janae Myers and Jayla Myers.
Don's family was his greatest joy. Don was married to his wife, Barbara, for almost 56 years. He was especially proud of being "Poppa" to his granddaughters, Janae and Jayla.
Don loved spending time at the cabin with his son, brothers, brothers-in-law and nephews. They enjoyed hunting, fishing, riding four-wheelers, playing cards, and telling tall tales. Don's niece, daughter-in-law, and granddaughters also enjoyed all of the activities at the cabin, but girls weren't allowed to spend the night.
Don loved his country and served in the Army National Guard for seven years. He achieved the qualification of sharpshooter and served as a combat engineer. He had risen to the rank of Platoon Sergeant at the time of his Honorable Discharge in 1971.
Don was in the towing business for over sixty years. He worked in St. Louis for more than thirty years. He owned and operated Myers Towing in Fredericktown for 25 years. Don hauled cars from St. Louis to Arkansas. His towing experience and skill earned him the nickname "The Legend."
Don had a great love for God and people. He was known far and wide for the richness of his generosity and service. Don faithfully served the bus ministry at Marquand First Baptist Church for many years. He had great joy when he would meet the children from the bus ministry all grown up with families of their own, telling him they were in church and were raising their families to know God.
