Jerry Dale

Myers

Jerry Dale Myers, 69, of Wichita Falls, Texas, passed away on September 3, 2026, in Dallas, Texas. Born on April 21, 1957, Jerry lived his life with a combination of creativity, humor, and a genuine gift for making things beautiful.

Jerry grew up in Valley View, Texas, where his younger years were filled with raising livestock, riding in play days, playing sports, and, as those who knew him best would agree, getting into his fair share of mischief. He graduated from Iowa Park High School in 1976.
Jerry spent many years working alongside his father and brothers in the family business, C.E. Myers & Sons Construction Company, and later 4M Trucking. Those years were more than simply work; they were years spent building a business together, grounded in a strong family work ethic and a determination to see every job through.

Later, Jerry worked many years for the late Bud and Kay Dillard.  Mrs. Dillard came to greatly admire not only Jerry's remarkable abilities, but also the loyalty and dedication he showed to her. Their years together were a meaningful part of Jerry's life and a reflection of the commitment he gave to the people and work that mattered to him.

A master gardener, landscaper, and florist, Jerry had an extraordinary ability to envision what something could become and then make it happen. Whether working with flowers, plants, or a landscape, his creativity and talent were unmistakable. His abilities, however, reached far beyond his work with landscapes or flowers. Jerry was one of those people who could do just about anything he set his mind to—and usually did.

Jerry's personality was every bit as memorable as his talents. His infectious laugh was unmistakable—big, joyful, and larger than life, much like Jerry himself. He loved people, and the friendships he made throughout his life were deeply important to him. Jerry didn't simply have friends; he cherished them like family.  He also shared a special bond with his sweet dog, Molly, who brought him great companionship and joy.

Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence Edward "C.E." Myers and Beatrice Pauline Myers; his infant brother, Ricky; and his grandparents, Clarence Edward Myers Sr. and Callie Shook Myers, along with William Velmar Wilson and Lizzie Lou Wilson.
He is survived by his brother, Edward Myers and wife Donna; his brother, Randy Myers and wife Diane; and his nieces and nephews, Clint Myers and wife Carrie, Kaycie Daub and husband Nathan, Cody Myers and wife Lindsey, Hali Kuehler, Tammy Romero and husband Jose, and Francie Stanford and husband Michael. He is also survived by his great-nieces and great-nephews; his aunts and cousins; and the many dear friends he considered family.

Jerry leaves behind more than beautiful landscapes and creations shaped by his hands. His legacy can also be found in the example of a strong work ethic, in his willingness to give his time and talents to others, and in the genuine love and care he had for the people in his life. He leaves memories of laughter, friendship, dedication, and a life lived unmistakably his own.

A memorial celebrating Jerry's life will be planned at a later date.
