John Meyer, beloved father, brother, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather, and, above all, devoted husband to Patricia Meyer, passed away on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, at the age of 79.

John was the devoted husband to his “beautiful Patricia”, with whom he shared a love that inspired everyone around them. Their connection was extraordinary – each time Patricia entered a room, John’s face would light up, showing a bond that grew stronger with time and a held a profound place in his heart.

John was a proud father to Kimberly (Scott) and Timothy (Sheri). He also adored his grandchildren, Danielle (Rob), Lexi, Robbie, and Kyle, as well as his great-grandchildren, Alison and Sadie, who brought him endless joy. In addition to his immediate family, John leaves behind many cousins, nieces, nephews and extended family members, each of whom felt his warmth and kindness.

A Vietnam War veteran, John served his country with honor. After his military service, he went on to found Service Plus, Inc. His business legacy lives on through his son TJ, who carries forward the principles of integrity and excellence that John instilled.
