Born on October 7, 1951, in Petersburg, WV, he was the son of the late Isaac Walter Myers, Jr. and Ethel Gertrude Crites Myers. A brother, Larry Myers preceded him in death.
Gerald devoted more than 55 years of his life to working as a crane operator and driver at Orndorff & Spade Roofing Contractors. He was known for his strong work ethic and dedication to his craft.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Mary Margaret Simon Myers, with whom he shared 55 wonderful years; two sons, Gerald “Jake” & Cindy Myers and Danny Myers of Old Fields, WV; and cherished every moment spent with his three grandchildren, Jacob, Luke, and Chayse, as well as his three great-grandchildren, Lilah, Layla, and Laina. Also surviving is a brother, Mackie (Sharon) Myers of Moorefield, WV and two sisters, Carol Rexroad of Newville, PA and Shirley Fisher of Moorefield, WV.
