Kenneth William Meyer

Ken was born on October 4, 1959, in Pittsburgh, PA, to Fred Wilbert Meyer and Marian Gibson Meyer. He grew up in Bethel Park, PA, and always spoke fondly of a childhood home filled with love and warmth.

An exceptionally bright mind, Ken enjoyed a distinguished finance career spanning more than 40 years. He began his professional journey at Arthur Andersen in New York City and culminated his impressive career in Texas as the Chief Financial Officer of The Mint National Bank. Throughout his decades in business, Ken earned the deep respect and lasting friendship of his colleagues through his unwavering work ethic and brilliant intellect.

In his youth, Ken was a dedicated runner, a passion that evolved into a lifelong love for power-walking. Beyond his professional achievements, he possessed a deep appreciation for the fine arts, frequently attending theatrical productions and visiting local museums. Ken cherished his family. Affectionately known as "Opa" to his grandchildren, Ken loved being a grandfather and trailed along with his grandchildren on countless adventures alongside his late husband, Chris, also known as Pops.

Ken is survived by his mother, Marian Meyer; his siblings, Rick Meyer, David Meyer, and Carol Ehrlich; his children, Stephanie Davis, Brian Wilkinson, Sr., Brent Wilkinson, and Kimberly Wilkinson; and his 12 cherished grandchildren, Addison, Katherine, Christopher, Aubrey, Brian Jr., Iris, Elaina, Charlotte, Finnleigh, Aria, Jayden, and Wyatt. He was preceded in death by his father, Fred Wilbert Meyer; his brother, Fred Meyer; and his husband, Chris Richard Wilkinson.

A celebration of Kenneth’s life will be held on Friday, November 6, 2026, at 2:00 PM at Waltrip Funeral Directors (1415 Campbell Rd, Houston, TX). All who knew and loved Ken are welcome to attend and honor his memory.
