Meyer, Kenneth Harris
September 15, 1943 - September 4, 2012
Kenneth Harris Meyer passed away at his Bel-Air home, with family by his side, after more than two years of living courageously with brain cancer. He is survived by his wife, Teri Fournier, and their sons, Andrew and Alex Meyer. He is also survived by his sister, Marilyn Meyer, and her sons, Mike and Jim Severino, and their families, and by his brother Alan Meyer and his wife Charlotte, their daughters Caroline Weilert and Suzy Cooper, and their families. Ken grew up in Southern California, graduating from Beverly Hills High School, where he was Student Body President, and UCLA, where he played goalie on the UCLA water polo team. A double Bruin, Ken also received his JD from the UCLA School of Law, where he was elected to the Order of the Coif. Ken started his career at the entertainment law firm Rosenfeld, Meyer & Sussman in Beverly Hills, becoming a partner and practicing with the firm for 17 years before leaving to join MTM Entertainment as Executive Vice President. Thereafter, he served as Senior Executive Vice President at MGM. Most recently, Ken was Of Counsel at the law firm Bryan Cave. In young adulthood, Ken enjoyed years of beachside living on the Marina Peninsula, where he was often found playing beach volleyball and having beer with friends. Later, in family life, he was a committed husband and father, who enjoyed time with his wife and sons--from daily meals to world travels--more than anything. Never imposing and always providing, Ken promoted in his sons a view of life as a series of adventures becoming ever more wonderful with age.
