Adam Troy Meyer

Adam Troy Meyer was born in Provo, Utah on May 20, 1974 to Larry and Denice Meyer. A friend to all, his hugs and handshakes were warmly extended to everyone he met. On the morning of September 12, 2026, he reached beyond the threshold of heaven to embrace loved ones there, once again.

Some of Adam’s richest friendships began in the halls of Hunter High School, where he graduated Class of 1992. His favorite class was shop, and he spent his adult life cultivating his interest in woodwork and engines. It was common to find Adam busily sanding down a project for his home, building something beautiful for his wife, or working on his motorcycle. These hobbies widened his circle of friends to include anyone, and everyone, who wanted to talk shop.

There were no barriers to friendship with Adam. As a young man, he served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the Mexico City East Mission from 1994-1996, and learned to connect with others in the Spanish language. Throughout the decades, Adam used his language skills at work, on the road, and amongst friends. He was undaunted by anything that could separate him from knowing another person, and reached across cultural and language gaps again, and again to help a neighbor.

His richest relationship was with his precious wife, Kay Lynn. For over 20 years, they built a life together, widening their circle to make room for new friends everywhere they lived. Friends became the family that filled their daily lives.

Second only to Kay Lynn, Adam loved his country. As a loyal patriot, he enlisted in the United States Army, where he was injured during basic training and received an honorable medical discharge. He was disappointed not to serve his countrymen the way he had hoped, but not discouraged. His devotion to freedom could not be dampened, and he flew the flag with honor.

It is fitting that Adam’s death accompanied his gratitude for those who gave their lives in service. On that decisive morning, Adam proudly rode with a united band of hundreds to memorialize American fallen firefighters. He frequently participated in such events, and strove to bring awareness to the sacrifices men and women have made to protect our communities.

Adam wasn’t simply a friend; he was a friend of action. He rode to remember. He showed up on your doorstep to help. He brought you a cold drink when you needed one. He was a communicator, and full of conversation. It was second nature for him to send a call or text out of the blue, because if you came to mind, he wanted to chat. He was always thinking of his friends and family.

Adam is survived by his beloved wife, Kay Lynn. He is also survived by his son, Andrew; his father, Larry; two brothers; three sisters; and a large extended family. He was preceded in death by his mother, Denice.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Adam’s honor on October 17, 2026 at 11:00am. All are welcome to join his family at Elk’s Lodge #2442, 544 West 400 North, Bountiful, UT 84010.
