Edward Myers Obituary

Edward E. Myers

Edward E. "Ed" Myers, 65, peacefully left this world after his fight with cancer Sunday, June 2, 2024.

Ed was born Feb. 25, 1959, to Earl and Irma Myers of Kansas, Ohio.

After graduating from Lakota High School in 1977, he began working in the Tooling Layout and Inspection Department at Autolite in Fostoria. Upon retirement, he and friend, Don Kuhn, began their own epoxy flooring business. He then drove for HATS Transportation in Findlay where he found true enjoyment by helping others.

Ed and his wife, Judy, resided in Alvada, but they were always on the go, traveling to many different places across the United States and to Europe and Asia on "Ed-ventures." His most frequented and cherished "Ed-venture" was to Kelley's Island, which he referred to as "Heaven on Earth." Everywhere Ed went, he made friends with his infectious personality, genuine kindness, and corny sense of humor. Ed loved life and embraced any new technology that would allow him to capture memories, from the camcorder to the smartphone. Although never given proper credit, he was the creator of the "arm length photo" or as we know it today, the "selfie." His playful nature was very fitting for his preference for the Boxer dog breed. He consistently named his Boxers Sam, because he never wanted to call them by the wrong name. Oftentimes, Ed could be found outside, enjoying gardening, biking, camping, or a round of golf, then ending his day by watching the sunset while listening to Pink Floyd.

Family and friends meant everything to Ed. He adored his wife, Judy, was a loving father, and an avid fan of all his grandchildren's activities and interests.

He is survived by his loving wife, Judy; two daughters, Valerie (Brad) Gnepper and Heather (Greg) Kuhlman; stepson, Mike Fleece (Shanna Brooker); stepdaughter, Amanda (Tim) Wrobleski; grandchildren, Rowan (Collin) Carr, Lyndi, Emma, Alec, Allison, Lauren, and Jacob; sister, Nancy Hovis; brother, Ron (Earlene) Myers; mother-in-law, Gerry Fredritz; sisters in-law, Dana Myers, Ruth (Bernie) Gosche, Susie (Jerry) Kelbley, Nancy (Tom) Parker, and Chris (Bob) McConnell; brothers-in-law, Dave (Maryann) Fredritz and Dan (Karen) Fredritz; and many uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, great-nephews, and great-nieces.

Ed was preceded in death by his parents; and brother, Dennis.

Ed will be dearly missed by all.

Ed's celebration of life will be 3-8 p.m. Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at The Front 9, 6730 TR 69, Kansas, Ohio.

Memorial contributions may be made to Hufford Family Funeral Home in care of Edward E. Myers to help the family with placing a bench on the entrance of the Scheele Nature Preserve pathway on Kelley's Island.

And as Ed would say, this is not goodbye, just "bye for now."
