Donald Myers Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 15, 2013.
Donald "Don" Carter Myers, of San Angelo, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, October 9, 2013.
A memorial service celebrating his life will be 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 19, 2013 at Johnson's Funeral Home Chapel with the Reverend Skip Hill officiating.
Don was born on February 19, 1949 in Tyler, Texas to Ira George and Pauline McCoy Myers. He graduated high school in El Paso and then was drafted into the military. He proudly served in the Army during Vietnam, achieved the rank of Sergeant, and then served in the Army Reserves, for a total of 25 years. He was the manager of the Auto Hobby at Goodfellow Air Force Base for 27 years, where he retired with the hopes of traveling the United States and seeing all of its beauty. He married Shirley Ann Anderson on April 28, 2012.
Don was an avid hunter and he loved the outdoors. He never met a stranger, was bigger than life and ten feet tall and bullet proof. Don had a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, so there wasn't anything he couldn't fix.
Don was preceded in death by his first wife, Karen Dusek Myers, who died in 2009. He is also preceded by his father Ira George Myers and step-father Harold Woodhouse. He is survived by his wife Shirley; daughter Michelle Allen and her husband Delbert; step-daughters Michelle Darragh, Sandy Bailey and husband Trent; step-son Chris Darragh and wife Calista; eight grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; four nieces and one nephew; mother Pauline Woodhouse; sister Betty Ann McCann; brother in-law Henry Dusek and wife Wilda; and sister in-law Helen Whitman.

Michelle, so sorry to hear about your dad. I am heart broken! He was a wonderful friend and I so enjoyed his company. He came to my rescue so many times during my time of living in Angelo. My thoughts and prayers are with ya'll. RIP my dear friend!

I have known and loved Don for over 26 years. I consider him one of my very best friends. I had not seen him as much lately as I would've liked to, life's details get in the way (like work). I always thought of him, and Shirley, and knew they were there if I needed them. They always were there, whenever any friend needed anything! Don was one of the smartest men I have ever known, if you had any question about anything he was the person to go to! Don will be missed very, very much, but I am glad he is at peace now. Shirley please remember to let me know if you need anything.

Heartfelt condolences on the passing of Don. I knew him through the base and my military duties. He was in fact, larger than life and easy to talk to. May Don rest in peace. Respectfully,
