Robert was born on Wednesday, October 18, 1939 in Wisner, LA and passed away Sunday, November 23, 2025 in Baton Rouge, LA. Robert was a man of honor, character, and deep devotion. He proudly served his country in the United States Army, carrying himself with dignity and pride throughout his life. A second-generation carpenter, he worked alongside his brothers, building not only structures but a legacy of excellence. He was a mentor to his son, who followed in his footsteps, learning the craft and the values that came with it. Robert and his family worked on major projects across the country. Some local jobs they completed from the ground up was the Comfort Suites, the Grand Hotel, and the Camelot Nursing Home, each standing as a testament to their skill and dedication.

An avid outdoorsman, he loved hunting and fishing, finding joy in the peaceful beauty of nature. Known for his sense of humor, he was a jokester who could bring smiles to anyone around him. A Christian man, he raised his family in church, instilling a strong love for Christ. Above all, Robert loved his family and friends deeply, cherishing every moment as a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend.

He is reunited with his wife, Judy Thompson Myers; parents, Sim Myers and Lillie Cain Myers; grandson, Joshua Guillory; brothers, DH Myers, Huey Myers, and Bill Myers; and sisters, Luicille Myers Smith, Althea Mae Wright, Dorothy Herbert, and Helen Ezell.
