Bob Meyers of Maud and also of Macomb, passed away Wednesday, June 13, after a long illness. He was 60.

He was born September 2, 1946, in Modesto, California, to Don L. and Ellen Goatz Meyers.

He had several careers including being a mechanic and owning his own station and garage in Modesto, logging in Oregon and police work in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

He was a past member of Phi Beta Kappa and a lifetime NRA member. After becoming disabled, he developed skills in woodworking, pottery, art, photography and vintage tool collecting and is mentioned on several Plomb tool websites.

His parents and their families were from the Maud area and he had pleasant childhood memories of the area, prompting him to move here in the mid 1990's upon retirement/disability.

Preceding him in death were his parents.

He is survived by long term partner, Debra Fox and her children, Ben Fox and Chloe Fox all of the home; sons, Billy of Sonora, California; Tim of Oklahoma City; and Stephen and Robert of Virginia; daughters, Samantha Williams of Modesto, California; and Amanda Meyers of Roanoke, Virginia; four brothers, William D. Vernon, Jim and Dennis, all of California; four grandchildren, including Stephanie Meyers of Oklahoma City.

The family would like to thanks Faith Hospice, especially Brenda Provence for her excellent care and compassion these last few months.

Pursuant to his wishes, there will be a viewing at Knight-Swearingen Funeral Home, 110 N. Broadway, Maud, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. today with cremation following.
