Kate Myers

Kate Myers passed away on August 22, at the age of 39.

Kate was a one of the kind human being who had a deep love for mosh pits, all things vintage, and rescue puppies. She was a plant based vegetarian before it was cool but don't confuse her for a hipster: she was the real deal original.

While she made her home in Las Vegas for most of her adult life, she cannot be claimed by one city or state. She had the urge to explore and travel and she made good on it; always making an impression and building community. She leaves many loved ones across the United States.

Kate was a passionate woman: she had a deep sense of justice and desire to make humanity more positive. She worked various jobs across the years but really found purpose in music: She adored live shows and was an avid swing dancer in her free time. From a young age she showed enthusiasm for soccer, both as a player and fan of Die Mannschaft. She was looking forward to becoming a first time Aunt in October and would have spoiled him endlessly.

Her favorite people on this planet were her siblings, and she is grieved by Mark, Amy, Nick, Hannah, Carl, and Gabrielle. To honor her, we promise to keep wearing purple, eat pez, and never go the way of the buffalo. We would like to thank her for the hours of babysitting, her wit, and the pride she took in all of us.

She is survived by her parents, Jim Myers and Sandi Myers of Tampa Bay, FL and Robert and Beth Rosenwald of Overland Park, KS. She is also survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Kate was predeceased by her grandparents, Carl and Sue Haner; Ray and Laverne Rosenwald, and grandfather James Myers and her uncles, Kirk Haner, Frederic Rosenwald, and Vincent Myers.

The family has held a private memorial. We encourage everyone who loved Kate to find a personal way to celebrate her life and spirit. If there is a picture or story you would like to share, we encourage you to post so others can remember with you.

Kate had such a big heart and loved to support others. In her last act of kindness she saved the lives of 7 individuals by donating her organs and because of her, two people are able to see. Although her life has ended, her heart beats on serving others.

We pray that Kate has found the peace she desired on earth and kindly request that in lieu of any gifts or flowers, donations be made in her honor to the St. Josephs Indian School (stjo.org). She was a long time donor and she would be really grateful for others to support them.

We loved you K8 and nothing else matters.
