Charles (Chuck) Myers, age 94, a resident of Keizer, Oregon and former longtime resident of Syracuse, Indiana, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family, on June 28, 2025.

Chuck was preceded in death by his wife of 70 years, Betty J. Bray: his parents, Cletus S Myers and Prisilla E. Myers; and his granddaughter, Britiney Marie (Alt) Johanson.

Chuck was born on February 8, 1931, in Milford, Indiana. He graduated from Milford High School, where he also earned the rank of Eagle Scout. In 1947, he proudly represented the United States at the World Scout jamboree in France- a lifelong memory and highlight of his scouting journey. He went on to attend Indiana University, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in business. On November 28, 1953, Chuck married Betty J Bray, in Milford, Indiana. Shortly after, the couple moved to Fort Knox, Kentucky where Chuck honorably served his country as a lieutenant in the United States Army for two years. Following his military service, they returned to Syracuse, Indiana, where Chuck joined his father, Cletus Myers at C.S. Myers Ford, continuing in the family business.

Chuck was a member of Wawasee Bible Church. He especially loved time spent on the water – sailing, skiing, boating and fishing. He cherished summers with the family at the lake, especially the annual fourth of July family reunion. There was always much laughter and fun when Chuck was around.

He enjoyed traveling in their motor home and spending the winter months in California. He lived in Syracuse for over ninety years of his life, before relocating to Keizer, Oregon in 2023 to be near his daughter Christi Miller and her family.

He is survived by his two daughters, Christi Ann (Myers) Miller and her husband Greg Miller, of Keizer, OR and Sherry Lynn (Myers) Alt and her husband, Greg Alt, of Mulberry, GA He is also survived by his grandchildren,: Courtney (Alt) Nieman and her husband Paul Nieman; Matthew Miller and his wife, Kristin (Acott) Miller; and Hannah (Miller) Whitney and her husband, Cameron Whitney.
