John “Jackie” Meyer, of Sanford Florida, passed away on September 7, 2023 at the age of 78.

His battle with serious medical conditions over the past year never deterred him from facing

life’s challenges with a smile. His continued desire to make people laugh shined through until

the end.

John was born in Denver Colorado on May 23, 1945, the youngest of four children born to

Helena and William Meyer. After High School, John served his country in Vietnam as a member

of the Army.

Following his military service, John worked a variety of jobs before joining the US postal

service. After 30 years as a letter carrier with the Broomfield, Colorado Post Office, John retired

and spent two years traveling the country with his wife, Jennifer in their RV. In 2006, He made

the move to Florida where he started another career as a Bus driver at Walt Disney World.

Among his many hobbies, John enjoyed professional roller skating, fly fishing, wood working,

cruising, going off-road in Colorado and making people laugh. As a member of First Baptist

Orlando, he was a tenor in the choir and participated in the annual Singing Christmas Trees. As

the saying goes, John never met a stranger. It is his personality and kid like sense of humor that

will be missed by all that knew him.

John was preceded in death by his wife Jennifer, son Tim, sister Barbara, brother Carl, mother

Helena and father William. He is survived by his daughter, Tonia and her husband Matthew, and

six grandchildren, Jayden, Jaryd, Jake, Emily, Coyle, and James, as well as his brother Bobby.
