Ronald Myers Obituary
YORKTOWN - On May 29th, at the age of 81, Ronald "Ronnie" Myers went to his Lord. His determination to live his life with cancer was a tribute to his strength and resolve. As with everything he did, Ron was "all in" to fight his cancer to the end.
A 1957 graduate of Yorktown High School, Ron starred at basketball, as well as showing exceptional skill at baseball and still holds records in track. As an avid outdoorsman, Ron won awards as a Championship Turkey Shooter. He had a passion for guns.
Ron was a barber for fifty-seven years. His RON'S BARBER SHOP was an icon in the Yorktown area, which specialized in beautifying the Yorktown area one head at a time.
Ron will miss his many friends in Gulf Shores, where he and Betty spent their winters. To keep his hand in the barbering business, Ron worked at Wayne's Barber Shop in Gulf Shores, where his ability to give twenty-five haircuts a day won him the respected moniker "Mr. Ron from Indiana".
Survivors include his wife, Betty (Kirk) Myers; his loving children, Sally Myers and Dan (wife Amy) Myers; step-children, Beth Christian Broschart, Tammy (husband Mark) Laughner, and Kirk (wife Carly) Nigh; grandchildren, Britain A. Wheat and Roman M. Wheat; step-grandchildren, Cooper Nigh, Colbi Nigh, Tiffany Woods, and Bailey Roe; great- grand-child, Tracy J. Wheat; sisters, Joann (husband John) Morris, and Nancy (husband Jim) Blevins.
He was preceded in death by his loving parents, Kenneth and Dorta (Johnson) Myers; his wife, Mary; sisters, Barbara Maitlen and Cheri Cox; his loving daughter, Susan Myers; and his grandson, Tracy J. Wheat II.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to IU Health Hospice nurses and services for the loving support they gave to Ron.

Sorry I missed Uncle Ronnie's services, we were away on a scheduled trip. I will always remember him at the family get together's in Yorktown at Grandma's house on 32. He used to play a little guitar and sing some. He would trap mink and hunt squirrel and rabbit and I remember the mink laying on grandma's clothes dryer at Thanksgiving and the rabbit and squirrel alongside the turkey on the dinner table. Ronnie gave me my first haircut back in 1961. He will be sadly missed but never forgotten.

Ron was a great man. He gave my dad and my son their first hair cuts. Always enjoyed sitting in the barber shop chatting, and even in my older years I was still allowed to get in the candy dish! Prayers to the family. -Mary Ann (Blanch) Meade

Ron was a great man. Loved by all that knew him, he will be missed. I still have a picture of Ron and I in my baby book. He gave me my first haircut and hundreds more after that. Thank you for everything Ron!
