Gerald ‘Junior’ Meyers

Gerald “Junior” Clement Meyers passed away peacefully on December 16, 2017, in California due to complications of Alzheimer’s disease with his children at his side. He was 76 years old.

Jerry was born on January 26, 1941, in Mankato, Minnesota to his parents, Gerald Lewis and Genevieve Marie Meyers. He graduated from Mankato State University with an education degree in 1965.  Jerry married Sandra Kay Johnson in 1962.  They moved to California where Jerry worked as an elementary school teacher in Simi Valley. He retired in 1999 to pursue his passion on the golf course.

Jerry will be remembered by many as an incredible athlete, a jokester and one who never took life too seriously. He loved to play golf, play cards, be with his friends at the country club and most importantly spend time with his kids and grandchildren. He is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Scott and Julia Meyers of Thousand Oaks, Calif.; his eldest daughter and son-in-law, Jeff and Shelly Thompson of Thornton Colo.; and his youngest daughter, Bridget Meyers of Denver, Colo.  He has seven grandchildren.  Junior is also survived by his two sisters, Mary Kersten and Carol Kern; and his younger brother, Richard “Jocko” Meyers.  He was preceded in death by his brother, Ronald “Butch” Meyers.
