Charles Meyers

Charles "Charlie" Robert Meyers ended his battle with leukemia on January 30, 2017 in Houston, TX at the age of 71.

Charlie grew up in Houston, the third child of Helen and George Meyers, and he graduated from Austin High School in 1963. Following a brief football career at the University of Texas, he joined the Army where he honorably served for several years in the US and in Germany. He earned his degree in business from the University of Houston, and went on to a career in the construction industry, including most recently 18 years with Standard Industrial Structures Corporation. In his leisure time, Charlie was known for his love of cruising the Caribbean with his family, and trying his luck with the slot machines.

Charlie is survived by his wife Claudette Parker, children Scott Meyers (Alissa), Amanda Meyers Glaser (Paul), and Cortney Parker, along with grandchildren Avery and Patrick Meyers, and siblings Donald Meyers, Judy Meyers Perkins, and Michael Meyers. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
