Steven Douglas Meyers, "Steve", passed away unexpectedly on April 16, 2024 at UVM Medical Center. He was 63 years old, born in Omaha, Nebraska on January 29th, 1961 to Berniece and Elwyn Meyers. Steve was a loving father and devoted husband. He truly enjoyed people and always brighten the days of those he interacted with. His zest for life, dry sense of humor and affectionate spirit created an atmosphere that positively affected others.
Steve was an outdoor guy! He could often be found outside tending to yard work where he meticulously curated his lawn and transplanted maple trees. He enjoyed frequent walks around his property with his wife JoAnne. He was a dedicated runner and would end his morning runs by refilling the bird feeders as it brought him immense joy. He had a love for eagles and could spot them (as well as hawks) with ease.
Steve worked as a Timing Methodology and Qualification Analyst at IBM for nearly 25 years. He so enjoyed his coworkers, the many meetings and truly missed going back to the office.
In 1978, Steve enlisted into the United States Air Force where he met his Best Friend and future wife, JoAnne. They married in 1983 and nurtured a family that would grow to include their 2 loving sons, Zachary and Benjamin. Steve's legacy is carried on through his family, whom he loved with every fiber of his being.
Each morning, Steve would hug and kiss JoAnne then smile and say "Let's have a GREAT day!"
For the last 2 years, Steve and JoAnne have been FT caregivers for their son Ben who suffers from a brain tumor. Daily he exemplified true love, compassion, and altruism.
Predeceased by his father Elwyn and his younger brother David, Steve's memory is honored and kept alive by his loving wife, JoAnne and his devoted sons, Zachary and Benjamin, his mother Berniece of Texarkana TX and his older brother Michael of Orcutt, California as well as the many many friends, family, coworkers and neighbors his life touched.
A Celebration of Steve's life will be scheduled at a future date. Meanwhile please feel free to express condolences and share memories at https://www.online-tribute.com/stevenmeyers

I met Steve as Ben's boss when he 1st got sick and have communicated on and off with him since them. I'm shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. He seemed like a truly amazing man, husband and father. May you keep your fond memories of him close during this incredibly difficult time of grief. Thinking of you all and sending lots of love ~Shelby
