Alan Ray Myers

Alan Ray Myers, a devoted husband, brother, and friend, passed away on November 7, 2026, after a courageous battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome. Born on March 4, 1945, in Akron, Ohio, Alan's journey through life was marked by love, dedication, and a remarkable spirit that touched everyone he met.

Alan was the son of Bruce and Anne Dogan Myers, who precede him in death, along with his sister, Patricia Gill. He is survived by Sharon, his loving wife of 58 years, who stood by him through every chapter of their life together. Their cherished kitty, Rocky, remains a comforting presence at home. Alan also leaves behind his brother, Larry (Elaine) Myers of Bluffton, South Carolina, who shared countless memories of brotherhood and companionship.

Growing up in Silver Lake Village, Alan's early years were filled with the warmth of community. He graduated from Cuyahoga Falls High School and pursued higher education at the University of Akron, majoring in Business Administration. He was the owner and CEO of Baltic Rubber in Baltic and Strasburg, Ohio, a position he held until his retirement in 2010.

In 2016, Alan and Sharon embraced a new chapter, moving to Naples, Florida, where they enjoyed the sunny climes. Alan's retirement was filled with moments of joy, reflection, and the simple pleasures of life.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to those who provided exceptional care and support during Alan's illness: Elisha Wilson at Florida Oncology, Carolyn Padget of the Oncology Floor at Baker NCH, and Meghan Flagg and nurse, Alicia, at Avow Hospice. Their compassion and dedication brought comfort to Alan and his loved ones during a challenging time.

In honor of Alan's memory, donations may be made to Avow Hospice in Naples, Florida - www.avowcares.org/donate or your local Humane Society. The family finds solace in the thought that Alan's spirit will continue to inspire acts of kindness and generosity.

Alan Myers will be remembered for his unwavering love, his commitment to those he held dear, and the legacy of warmth and compassion he leaves behind. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
