Gerald Michael Meyers

He was born in Redmond Oregon on February 27, 1943 and grew up in Sisters Oregon. He was a tanker truck driver until he retired and then went back to work for Rock Arbor Villa Mobile Home Park. Jerry was a man of faith. He had deep religious convictions and he loved Jesus Christ with all his heart and soul. His family and friends all knew that he was at peace with his Lord and Savior. He was a member of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church and attended Desertsprings Christian Church in Bend Oregon. He also helped many people heal from additions and helped them to trust God with their lives. Jerry loved the outdoors and spent a lot of time hiking and hunting in the Central Oregon Cascades. He was a very well read man and loved words. This gave him the ability to express his love for poetry and his personal history of living and growing up in the small town of Sisters, in the 50s and 60s with a population of 704. Jerry loved to tell tales of this time. He put many of them into stories he would then masterfully share over the holiday table, often filling us with tears of laughter. Jerry, a crazy loving husband and father, is survived by his wonderful wife Mary Ann Meyers (married October 12, 2003 at St. Edwards Catholic Church in Sisters Oregon). Immediate family, daughter Michelle Kuhnau, Brothers: Thom Meyers, Jim Meyers, Ron Meyers, Ted Meyers and sister Loma Jane Smith-Weber, along with extended family members. He was preceded in death by his father George Walter Meyers (May 5, 1917- June 25, 2002) and his loving mother Barbara Jeanne Meyers (April 2, 1921-June 25, 2006).
