Joshua Myres Obituary
Joshua Daniel Myres, 46, of Montrose, Colorado, passed away at his home on July 29, 2025. Born in Charleston, West Virginia, on December 3, 1978, Josh was the son of Michael Andrew Myres of Durango (deceased), and Patricia Henn Myres. He grew up in Durango, graduating from Durango High School, and went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in English & Writing from Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon.
Over the years, Josh pursued a wide variety of vocations, working in restaurant service, retail, HR and manufacturing, and teaching. He brought dedication, creativity and loyalty to each role and touched the lives of those he worked alongside.
In 2012, Josh made Montrose, Colorado his home, where he lived for 13 years. On June 21, 2022, he married the love of his life, Megan Lee Myres, in Ouray, Colorado. Together they shared a life filled with love, laughter, and adventure.
Josh had many passions and interests. He was a certified sommelier who delighted in sharing his knowledge of wine. He loved disc golf, tabletop role-playing games, gardening, and camping, and he found joy in spending time outdoors. His enthusiasm for life was infectious, and he will be remembered for his curiosity, kindness, and vibrant spirit.
A private Celebration of Life will be held on September 13, 2025, at Western Heritage Farms in Montrose, Colorado.
Josh will be deeply missed by his wife, mother, family, and friends, who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.
