Walter L. Myers

Walt was born on January 7, 1925, in Sullivan, Illinois, to Earl and Eunice Myers. His family relocated to Eastern Washington when he was a child, and he graduated from Omak High School. During World War II, he served as a pilot in the United States Army Air Force, after which he returned to Seattle and married the love of his life, Shirley (Ingle) Myers, in 1947.

Walt enjoyed a long, rewarding career in the tire business, owning his own store in Kenmore, Washington. He and Shirley retired to their dream home in 1977, which sits on a beautiful, wooded 5-acres in Monroe. They enjoyed many wonderful years together before Shirley's death in 2008.

His interests included his large group of friends and family, a myriad of do-it-yourself projects, and his thoroughbred racehorses.

Walt is survived by his brothers and their spouses, Frank and Rhonda Myers, and Dick and Marge Myers; a son and his spouse, Bret and Margaret Myers; a daughter and her spouse, Deborah and Terry Loisel, as well as his 23 beloved grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 1:30pm at Dignity Memorial in Bellevue, Washington. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
