Johnny Loyd Myers was born on September 18, 1942 in Saline, Louisiana to Ezra Lee Myers and Marcelle Tyler Myers.

Johnny “Papaw” Myers, a devoted family man, decorated veteran, and faithful servant of God, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on October 3, 2026. A living embodiment of 2 Corinthians 5:17 – “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” – Papaw remained steadfastly faithful to Christ in all circumstances, standing firm in his faith through times of ease and adversity alike.

A proud Vietnam – era veteran of the United States Army, he served his country with honor and distinction. His dedication and precision earned him the National Defense Service Medal, the Good Conduct Medal, and the Sharpshooter Badge.

An avid outdoorsman who truly lived from the land, Papaw found peace and purpose in the simplicity and bounty of nature. His greatest joy was passing down his wisdom, skills, and love for creation across generations. Above all else, family was his top priority, and he cherished every moment spent nurturing, guiding, and loving his family, both young and old. Papaw’s enduring legacy of faith, service, and devotion will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
