Milton G. Meyers
March 26, 1938- August 27, 2020
DAVENPORT-Milton G. Meyers, 82, of Davenport, passed away Thursday, August 27, 2020 at Genesis East Medical Center. A chapel service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 12, 2020 in the Runge Mortuary Chapel. He will be laid to rest in Pine Hill Cemetery. Memorials may be made to the family. Online condolences may be expressed at www.rungemortuary.com. Milton was born March 26, 1938 in Davenport, the son of Gerald and Viola (Mason) Meyers. He worked for Iowa Illinois Gas and Electric, retiring from MidAmerican after thirty-six years of employment. Milton celebrated fifty-nine years of marriage to Lynda (Lint) Meyers.
Milton enjoyed music, movies, and mealtime with his family. He was a man of many hobbies and wide-ranging interests. In his twenties, he built and attempted to fly a gyrocopter; in his sixties he built a telescope. Throughout his life, Milton built lasting memories of his exploits and quick laughter for those he leaves behind.
He was well loved by his family, children, Chris (Mary) and Keith (Jesse Wen). He will be missed by many, including his grandchildren, Ben and Anna, and his sister, Sharon Dettman.
Milton was preceded in death by his parents, Gerald and Viola, and his wife, Lynda.

11/13/2020 - I just learned of Milt's passing. I am so sorry and I extend my sympathy. Milt and my husband were friends and they both worked at Mid American and collected Aladdin Lamps. I moved away from Iowa in 2013 and that is the last I saw him. We would send each other emails from time to time.
