Daniel Eugene Myer, 72, of Sedgewickville, formerly of Jackson, passed away Tuesday, June 25, 2024, at his home in Sedgewickville.

He was born June 27, 1951, in Cape Girardeau, to Roy and Irene Heise Myer. He and Glennda Riebold were married Jan. 8, 1977.

Dan was a graduate of Jackson High School. He worked 10 years in housekeeping at Southeast Missouri State University.

Cancer struck Dan many years ago and he valiantly fought his way through a horrific surgery that nearly took his life. Though he remained cancer free for many years, he struggled with post-surgical pain the rest of his life.

Dan loved the Lord and was a member of Sedgewickville Baptist Church. He was a former member of First Baptist Church in Jackson. He liked carpentry work and electrical repairs, but above all, he enjoyed spending time with his family.

To cherish his memory, Dan leaves his wife of 47 years, Glennda Myer of Sedgewickville; three children and their families, David James (Katherine) Myer and children Gabe and Grace of Oak Ridge, Kenneth Wayne (Brooke) Myer and children Ian, Emily, Jayce and Asher of Sedgewickville and Melissa Diane (Patrick) Reagan of Jackson; and two sisters.

Dan was preceded in death by his parents.

Visitation was Saturday, June 29, at McCombs Funeral Home and Cremation Center in Jackson.

The Rev. Louis Scott conducted the funeral service Saturday, June 29, at the funeral home. Interment was at Caney Fork Cemetery near Oak Ridge.
