Obituary for Ronald David Meyers
Ron Meyers, 63 years old, passed away at home on Monday Feb 8.
Ron grew up in Mt. Vernon New York and had a happy childhood with friends and family. He started his career path as a chef both in NY restaurants, and on cruise ships to Alaska. He transitioned into a second career in the timeshare industry, acquiring awards as top seller.
Despite his many health challenges, Ron maintained an optimistic outlook, always interested in the lives of his friends and family, offering advice and telling a joke.
His happiest times were when he was around the water, becoming a proficient sailor in his youth, on the family boat in Long Island Sound. He moved to Athens NY, and with his wife, he built a home on Sleepy Hollow Lake.
After moving to Pittsfield, Ron enjoyed spending time with friends at Burbank Park on Onota Lake, playing chess, picnicking, listening to music and relaxing.
Ron is survived by his son, Jake Meyers, and his good friend and former wife, Pattie Meyers. He is also survived by his mother, Toby Meyers, sister Lynn Meyers, niece Shayna Haust and nephew Nate Haust. Ron was predeceased by his father Fred Meyers who was his mentor, and role model. He is also survived by his dear friend and caretaker of the past 2 years, Paula.
If friends desire, memorial donations may be made in Ron’s name to Burbank Park, City of Pittsfield Parks Department, in care of Dery Funeral Home, 54 Bradford St. Pittsfield MA 01201
Rest in Paradise
