Gerry MEYERS Obituary
October 27, 1945 - May 25, 2014
After a four-year courageous battle with ALS, Gerry passed away peacefully at home with his family by his side. Gerry worked for Air Canada for 30 years which enabled him to travel extensively all over the world as a photo journalist, often with his best friend Barry Lank. Other passions of Gerry's included hunting, fishing, sailing, Nascar Racing, and driving his Harley all over the USA. He led a life of adventure that most people could only dream of. Gerry was a loving husband and devoted father sharing some of his life adventures with his daughter Nikki. Gerry is survived by his wife Suzi of 40 years, his daughter Nikki and her husband Danny Chodos, sisters Lynda Levitt-Watmough (Rick) and Maureen Mansoor (Ephraim), all his nieces and nephews, and his beloved dog "Dexter- Boy." Gerry was predeceased by his parents Babe and Harry Meyers. A special thanks to Gerry's dedicated caregiver Jose, as well as Dr. Hollinger and Arlyn. Funeral Services will be at Shara Tzedek Chapel, 2345 Marine Drive, New Westminster, Wednesday, May 28, 2014 at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the ALS Society of BC.

I attended two gallery exhibits of Gerry's remarkable photographs. They were all truly memorable and award winning. His talent was amazing, and he will never be forgotten. His photos will live on forever.

Spent many miles on the road with Gerry, his passion for life and unique sense of humour always made for an interesting trip. I will treasure my memories of trips to Sturgis with Gerry forever. His spirit will always be "Somewhere on a desert highway " Rest in peace Gerry

My memories of Gerry are plenty - all those early mornings or late nights at CP Res, the great parties he and Don hosted, his joy when Nikki was born, stories of his adventures....and his very cool vibe. Gerry's photography was beautiful and I was honoured to have attended one of his exhibits.
Suzi and Nikki, you have lost a great man and you are and will remain in my thoughts.

Luved Playing with Gerry on our Harleys, we road like crazy men and did some dangerous things but we had FUN. Gerry was a great man and friend and admire his Love for his wife and little girl, Nikki. We shared many rooms on the road together and he was always the first one up every day to get a fast start on the road riding in the saddle of our Harleys.Bless you my Brother and welcome to Harley Heaven!!!

So sad to say goodbye to such a beautiful spirit, if a cat has 9 lives Gerry doubled that amount and filled the pages of his life story with curiosity, adventures, kindness, humility and a wicked sense of humor..RIP Gerry! My sincerest condolences to Susy and her family.

I worked with Gerry at Trev Deeley Motorcycles. He was well liked by all and a pleasure to be around. A brilliant photographer who travelled the world. He loved his Harley and enjoyed the many rides on it. I will miss you my friend.

Gerry,
I am certain you never missed AC after you left, any more than I did. I remember working all those flights with you for so many years. It was a privilege to have known and worked with you.
