Donald H Myers Sr

Donald H. Myers Sr., age 81, of Alabaster, AL. passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family on November 22, 2020. He was born in Portageville, Missouri on April 15, 1939 to William and Marie Myers.

In 1957 Donald graduated from Subiaco Academy in Arkansas where he boxed, and received his nickname Pee Wee due to his strong but small physique. He went on to further his education at San Francis Hospital and received a degree as a X-Ray technician in 1961. While working at the hospital he earned the respect of many physicians and was asked to teach students, while serving as X-ray chief. Donald truly loved his profession but was intrigued by the business aspect of the career he had chosen. He would soon become the co-founder of United X-ray Company in 1980 and begin his journey as a successful, business savvy, entrepreneur. At age 55 Donald retired after many years of dedicated service to his company.

He was dedicated to his Catholic faith and was a long time member of St. Thomas in Montevallo where he was a member of The Knights Of Columbus.

Among many of his passions he enjoyed R.V. traveling, spending time with family on the water, boating, teaching watersports to his grandkids, and whenever he would come up missing you were guaranteed to find him in the middle of the grandchildren soaking up every ounce of joy they brought to him. Donald was a great role model to his family, he was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, he offered much needed support through out our lives.

Donald leaves behind his wife of 59 years, Barbara Green Myers; children, Ellen Fox (Richard), Donald Hal Myers Jr. (Michelle), Mary Beth Zeller (Robert), Jane Ann Myers; grandchildren, Brannon Fox, Tyler Fox, Robert Zeller Jr., Patti Anne Zeller, Jacob Myers, Christopher Myers, Anna Myers, and Thomas Myers; Siblings, Alice Crisler (Howard) and William Myers (Harriett).
