Peter Shaun Meyer

Deepest condolences.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your family. This is really sad news. Peter was very kind, intelligent, humorous, and always generous to everyone. I enjoyed working with him at NCHS/DRM. He played a huge role in my success and I am forever grateful for that. Peter will be deeply missed!

My deepest condolences to you and your family. Peter always had a smile on his face every time I spoke with him. He was very passionate about his work, while being very pleasant with his colleagues. He will surely be missed by so many!

I am sorry to hear of Peter's passing. Sending sincere condolences to Nancy, Campbell, and family. Working with him at NCHS/ORM for several years before I retired, I will never forget his warmth and kindness. One morning arriving at work, I broke down in tears as I stepped off the elevator. Peter approached me and I told him I just received a call that my older brother was dying of lung cancer. He took the time to sit and talk with me in his office until I was able to regain my composure. Looking back, I am grateful for his empathetic spirit.
May God bless...

I am sorry to hear this sad news and share your loss. As everyone else is saying, Peter was a very kind, generous, and helpful with everyone. I will always remember his smile and sense of humor. My deepest condolences to the family. He will be remembered fondly by all of his NCHS friends. Rest in peace, Peter.

I feel so sorry to know that Peter passed away. He was a great colleague and mentor to me while at NCHS. He always wore a uniform, which make him look very serious. But we all know that he is very informal and humorous. Most importantly, he cared very much about our (his colleagues) needs and always came up with ideas to support us. Beyond work, he has lots of knowledge in many disciplines. He is like an encyclopedia to me. It always had been fun to listen to his stories. I really miss him.

Peter, when I met him at DLIFLC in Monterey, struck me as confident and jovial out of the gate. We were in an environment (Russian Language School) where 1/2 of the participants failed and he always seemed to have a sense of grace and tenacity in the way he approached things. This turned out to be the case as long as I knew him.

I am so deeply saddened to learn that Peter has passed away. I met him (and Nancy and Campbell) years ago when my son Kalyan and Campbell were both at Greenwood Nursery, so I knew him more as a fellow parent before I came to know of all his professional accomplishments. I'm sure we jabbered often about the various challenges at work over those years, but what I will miss the most is all the conversations about our kids. Peter was an invaluable sounding board for me and helped me see the humor in most everything, and I hope I was able to reciprocate from time to time. The adoration and pride he held for his wife and son were plain to see, and I am sending Nancy and Campbell my deepest sympathies for their loss. My thoughts are with all those whom Peter loved.

Both Velida and I were truly devastated to hear of Peter's passing. Campbell worked with us for a couple years and we were quite fond of him. And his dad was a real 'presence' at NCHS, and a force for better. We have missed him since he left, and now we shall miss him even more. Just an unspeakable loss.

I am very deeply saddened by the loss of Peter. My first interaction with him was truly unique. Peter was incredibly friendly to everyone, regardless of their background or level. He always made time for others and had a genuine curiosity about the world and different types of things.

His kindness and warmth are hard to fully capture in words.

Navigating the Federal Government and American system was daunting for me, anyone who has been here for less than 10 years can relate but Peter´s guidance was invaluable. I remember our Fridays spent discussing my life, goals, and others matters like family, retirement, buying a house and more. His was beyond my boss.

Nancy and Cam, please accept my heartfelt condolences. Peter spoke fondly of your plans and even joked about oversharing. Rest in peace, Peter. You will always be remembered for your generosity, kindness, and for being an amazing leader and friend to many. ~ Dieudonne Nahigombeye

I am very sorry to hear the news of Peter's passing. I knew him from NCHS. Although I did not work directly with him, he was always very friendly and welcoming and would stop by my office to chat and catch up. As everyone else is saying, he was a kind and gentle soul and was friends with everyone :-)
When he decided to retire from NCHS he made sure that he went around and told us in person and also made a point to come and say goodbye on his last day in the office. His farewell email sent 1/30/2019 at 3:31pm said "Please remember me kindly or don´t remember me at all" and he shared his contact information with all of us. We loved his sense of humor and will always remember him kindly. My condolences. Rest in peace, Peter.

I am deeply saddened by Peter's sudden demise. He had a calm temperament and was a very helpful person. I liked his kind and gentle spirit. He set a very good example of a leader while at DRM/NCHS. He will be remembered fondly by all of us.

I'm sorry to hear of Peter's passing. I met him at NCHS and he always seemed to be a nice, calm person. I'm sending my deepest condolences to his friends and especially his family. May your memories of him comfort you in this time of sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear this news and share your loss. Peter was one of the first people I met at NCHS and I was touched by his gentle conduct and sweet smile, anytime our paths crossed. He was a kind spirit and will be missed by many. Thank you for all your work and help, Peter, and stay smiling as you look at us from above.

I know Peter because he was my boss at the NCHS RDC. He was very friendly, and we used to go to happy hour and discuss cultural and international politics, as well as the places he had visited. He was a traveler, foodie, and fun-loving person. Additionally, he was accommodating and supportive of his employees. In terms of career growth, he helped others without discrimination. Although his death was unexpected, he lived life to the fullest.

My condolences go out to Nancy, Campbell, and the entire family. May his soul rest in peace.

I knew Peter many years ago when we both worked at the National Center for Health Statistics. We didn't keep in touch when I moved jobs, but I will always remember his smile and sense of humor, as well as his smarts and dedication. He was truly a gem to work with and he will be missed by so many! Sending well wishes to his family and friends.

I am deeply saddened to hear about Peter's passing. I worked with him at NCHS, and his demeanor was always calm and sweet. I am sending my deepest condolences, along with prayers of comfort and strength, to his family during this difficult time. May all the happy memories shared with Peter help to lessen the sorrow.

Peter was my first director while I started working at RDC. During my time working under his leadership, I was most impressed by his astonishing people skills and his natural ability to connect people with various backgrounds and personalities together. Getting people across offices working together is not an easy task in the government, but his genuine caring and love toward them had made it possible. He was also more interested in developing those who worked under him by providing us opportunities to pursue our own career goals. One of my career interests is to work on publications related to veterans' health, which is not something that a RDC analyst typically does in the role. Fortunately, he not only encouraged me to pursue it, but also guided me to connect with the right people who had similar interests or experiences in the field. Even after he left RDC, he graciously helped me to review the abstract from one of the publications I worked on.
You don't often run into a great leader like this in your lifetime, so like many of us, I am very grateful for his leadership. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. May his soul rest in peace!

The first time I met him ("Shaun" to us) he was a little boy wearing a matching polyester shirt to Gary, which his mother made. He was running around his grandma and grandpa Campbell's house like a holy terror. He had an impish grin and twinkling eyes, and melted everyone's hearts. My favorite memory was when he was a teenager. He and his partner in crime cousin David hid plastic Easter eggs for
Michael. The boys followed Michael as he found eggs, saying repeatedly to him,"When you find the big egg, DONT open it DONT open it!! Michael finally found the big egg and Shaun stood by him chanting "DONT open it!". Of course the little one opened the egg, and raw egg from the inside dripped all down his Easter clothes. Shaun and David were quite satisfied and laughed the rest of the day. Mom was not happy. It was brotherly love, for certain. Most of our family gatherings had similar incidents. Shaun was so very smart and handsome. He always had a unique perspective in our conversations. Years later, I met Cam, who also was brilliant. He looked much like Shaun did as a child but he did not have a sibling to prank, as his dad did, and was relatively subdued, at least in my opinion. The loss of Cam's dad surely leaves a huge void in the lives of more people than he would have guessed (or analyzed). Rest in peace and love, dear Shaun.

I have several fond memories of Peter that I will cherish. He was my first Director (RDC) when I began my career at the CDC. From the moment I first met him in Hyattsville, Maryland (my team was based in Atlanta), he made me feel welcomed. I was timid when I started at the RDC, but Peter's encouragement and guidance helped me overcome my initial timidity and develop the confidence and skills I needed to thrive in that role. He always supported my personal and career goals, encouraging me to finish my Doctor of Public Health, pursue emergency response deployments, and achieve a dream of attending an international conference. I will forever be grateful to have known Peter; he is truly one of the great ones.

I remember one of my visits to Hyattsville was during a snowstorm. I was stuck in my hotel for two days straight. On the third day, when I was scheduled to return to Atlanta, Peter made the trip worthwhile. He spent a good three to four hours showing me around the DC metro area and ensured I made it to the airport safely. I will never forget his kindness to me.

To Nancy and Cam, please accept my sincere condolences. He often shared stories of your wonderful trips together and was always beaming with pride about Cam's accomplishments.

I didn´t know Peter long, but he often stopped by my desk to chat. He was incredibly encouraging to me as I was applying to grad school, which made a big difference since I´m the only one in my immediate family to do so.

A coworker and friend remembers how one morning, while Peter and I were comparing notes about our recent travel, she stopped by my desk and they struck up a conversation about grad school. Peter was the first one to tell her about U Maryland´s JPSM program: she now has her Master´s from this program and is working on a PhD. She says she "quite literally wouldn´t be where I am without that conversation."

Peter is someone I hope to be like: someone who achieved success and lifted others up.

I greatly enjoyed working with Peter for over 20 years. One of my favorite memories was an unexpected/chance meeting with Peter on the streets of Chicago (Peter was working for CDC in DC at the time). It was a beautiful sunny summer day and I had stepped out of my office to grab lunch. And I saw someone walking my way in a crisp white uniform. And as he got closer I realized it was Peter in his US Public Health Service uniform. Made my day to run into him unexpectedly. And we had a great conversation -- as we always did. I always enjoyed talking with Peter as we shared a lot of interests and he always got me to think differently about things. I will miss him dearly. He was a good friend and colleague.

When he came with Nancy after doing my weekly grocery shopping.

Peter was so funny and always a joy to be around! He loved a good party and always had great stories. He lived his life to the fullest alongside his amazing wife Nancy. He was such a great Dad to Cam and no doubt gave him the knowledge and tools to also live a full beautiful life. He will be greatly missed and I will think of him often, always with a smile xoxoxo
