Thalon Myers Obituary

Thalon Bruce Myers passed away suddenly on April 12, 2009. He was born on December 22, 2008 in Oklahoma City at Lakeside Women's Hospital to an incredibly happy family who upon meeting him, immediately knew he was the perfect addition to our circle of love. Thalon blew in a like a blaze of glory - full of love, joy and happiness, only to be taken much too soon from this world and our lives. This sweet, sweet baby who was so strong, full of life and love completed our family in so many ways we never knew were possible. Words cannot describe in such a small paragraph how much his beautiful life meant to us and what he meant to everyone who met him. Now, a huge gaping hole of sadness and grief is left in our hearts and souls. He is survived by his most loving and devoted parents, Richard and Shana Myers of Edmond, OK his adoring sisters, Celia and Moira Myers of Edmond, Oklahoma his grandmothers, Linda Ball of Edmond, OK and Sharon Myers of Oklahoma City, OK his grandfather, Jerry Myers of Guthrie, OK his aunt and uncle, Lyra and Craig Roberts of Oklahoma City his uncle and aunt, Steve and Christina Myers of Oklahoma City, OK his uncle and aunt, John and Tracy Townsend of Oklahoma City his cousins, Derek, Austin, Jonathan and Brynner Myers, Addie Roberts, Reece and Grace Townsend among other heartbroken cousins, family and friends. He was most cherished by his godparents, Judy Koger and Dianne Rose both of Edmond, OK. A special wish of the utmost gratitude and thanks go out to the EMSA personnel, Mercy Hospital ER and the Baptist PICU. May they know they will always hold a special place in our hearts. A celebration of his beautiful life and a Mass of the Angels will be held at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Edmond, OK on April 17, 2009 at 11:00 a.m.

Myers family,
My deepest and most sincere sympathies on this loss of your little one. Thalon certainly wrapped himself around all of your little fingers. What a special joy he brought to all of you. Thalon, watch over your loved ones and guide them through their darkest hours, for it is you that once brought them joy and light daily. Provide them with the peace they need to go on, to assist them in seeing you in the littlest and most mundane moments of daily life. Be with them.
