Samuel D. Myers

Samuel D. Myers, age 80 of Rock Creek, formerly of Perry, passed away Monday, November 9, 2026 at Jefferson Healthcare. He was born July 4, 1946 in Westfield, NY, the son of Samuel and Esther (Hinkle) Myers. He married Jeanne Hines on January 13, 1996 in Concord.

After graduation from Perry High School in 1965, Sam enlisted in the US Airforce and served during Vietnam as a jet engine mechanic with the 48th Tactical Fighter Wing. He traveled to England, Turkey, Italy and elsewhere keeping the F-100 Super Sabre in the air.

Sam was above all a family man whose love for his children and grandchildren was evident throughout his life. He and his first wife, Kathy shared 24 years of marriage and raised three children together. He later shared 30 years of marriage with Jeanne and welcomed three more children into his heart and family. Rarely seen without his familiar outback hat, Sam was never without a tape measure and flash light on his belt; everyone knew they could count on him to fix anything. A hard worker, Sam was dedicated to the success of his business, Myers Home Improvements. He had a deep distinctive voice that could be easily recognized from three aisles over in the hardware store. Always the life of the party he had a great sense of humor. Sam had a kind heart and he loved the special time he spent with his family, and especially his grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife, Jeanne; children, Veronica Smyers, Samuel “Chip” (Jessica) Myers, Dean Myers, Ryan (Adam) Lynch, Jennifer (Adam) Kirby, and Philip Westcott; grandchildren, Christian Smyers, Paige (Jordan) King, Trevor Myers, Dakoda, Tyler, Kyle (Jordyn), and Mason Kirby, Phil and Lily Westcott; 5 great grandchildren; sisters, Carol Phillips and Ginny Dilly-Sidlo. Sam was preceded in death by his parents; siblings, Mary Ann, Dorothy Mae, Richard, Esther, Benny, and Zona.
