Michael Donald Hatsuo Meyer

Michael Donald Hatsuo Meyer, aged 69, passed away Tuesday, December 21, 2021, after an extended illness. Michael was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on January 14, 1952. He lived in Neenah, Wisconsin from the age of 2 through High School graduation. After high school he volunteered for the Army and had a great military career of 21 years. He served in Vietnam as a Medic and finished his career after the Desert Storm conflict as an NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) technician. After retiring from the Army in 1991 Michael worked for the USPS (United States Postal Service) first as a Rural Carrier then as a City Carrier, retiring in 2017. He felt great pride in his federal service.

Michael was an active member of the West Indy Bass Club and participated in many Large Mouth Bass tournaments. He was also active in the Indianapolis bowling community, bowling on three leagues each week. His lifelong love of fishing and bowling brought him a lot of joy and many friends.

Michael was preceded in death by his parents, Don and Hanayo Meyer, his brother Mitchell Meyer and his son Steven Meyer. Surviving family include his wife Anita Meyer, stepson Thomas Williams, son Michael T Meyer (Jenny), daughter Brianna Meyer, brother Marshall Meyer (Joanna) and grandchildren Bryce Meyer and Hailey Meyer and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Michael had a love of animals including pets at home over many years and the many pets on his mail route. Michael enjoyed telling stories and made friends everywhere he went. He spent many hours on his bass boat and fishing from shore – always seeking the big fighter at the end of the line.

Michael’s cremains will be buried at the Central Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery in King, Wisconsin. A celebration of life for Michael will be planned in the spring when friends and family can gather outdoors in both Indianapolis and Wisconsin. The date of these celebrations will be announced in the future.
