Clyde Meyer Obituary
Clyde Charles Meyer, 94, of Easley, South Carolina, husband of the late Rachel Caroline Meyer, passed away on Thursday, October 3, 2024, at his home.
Born in Kenton, Kentucky, he was the son of the late Clyde Charles and Elsye Roark Meyer.
A proud veteran, Clyde, served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War as a Photographer’s Mate, earning the Good Conduct Medal and the National Defense Service Medal for his exemplary service.
After meeting his wife of 69 years, he pursued his education and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in History from the University of Alabama. His career later took him into sales, where he worked for Gaylord Container Corporation. Despite his professional success, Clyde was most passionate about his family. He was a loving and supportive father and grandfather, always proud of the accomplishments of his children and grandchildren.
In his earlier years, he shared a special bond with his wife through their love of dancing. He enjoyed fishing, golf, and gardening, and had a particular fondness for gambling and hunting. Described as a kind and loving man, Clyde formed close bonds with those around him, and his warmth and dedication left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
He is survived by his sister, Mona Eads Zielska; two sons Charles Randall Meyer (Melinda) and Harland Curry Meyer; four grandchildren, Charles Meyer, Madison Caroline Riddle (Dylan), Ellie Katherine Meyer and Connor Charles Meyer; and one great grandchild, Isla Rae Riddle.
In addition to his wife and parents, he is preceded in death by his two brothers, Norman D. Meyer and Malcomb Lynn Eads.
