James D. Myers, age 84, of Paducah, KY passed away on Friday, August 31, 2018 at Baptist Health Paducah.

 

J.D. was born on April 25, 1934 to the late O.T. Myers and Thelma Williams.  After joining the United States Air Force and serving in the Korean War, he earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Southern Illinois University and was a retired accountant.  His current profession and hobby was being a charter bus driver.  J.D. was an avid reader and constant learner of new information.  He loved camping and driving but most of all his family, especially his grandkids.  He will be remembered fondly by those he loved most as being an encourager who was always laughing.  J.D. taught the “HIS Class” Sunday School class at Heartland Church and could best be described as a man who loved the Lord.

 

J.D. is survived by his wife of 56 years, Phyllis Mosley Myers; his daughter, Melodi Brewer and husband, Phillip of Collierville, TN; his son, Jim Myers and wife, Tracye of Medina, TN; two sisters, Elaine Rentfro of Vienna, IL and Mary Ellen Quay of Poplar Bluff, MO; one brother, Paul Myers and wife, Cheryl of Murrieta, CA; and his beloved five grandchildren, Rachel Brewer, Joshua Brewer, Jonathan Brewer, Wells Myers and Bryan Myers.

 

He was preceded in death by his parents; one sister, Doris Jean Stonebraker; and two brothers, Owen Myers and Olen Myers.

 

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 am on Monday, September 3, 2018 at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Buncombe, IL.  Dr. Nathan Joyce will be officiating and burial will follow in the Mt. Zion Baptist Church Cemetery.
