Clarence Myers Jr.
Clarence Eugene Myers Jr., 70, of Carey, passed away unexpectedly Friday, May 27, 2022, at Blanchard Valley Medical Center in Findlay.
Junior, one of 10 children, was born in Upper Sandusky to the late Clarence Eugene “Geno” and Mary Alice (Kitzler) Myers on Oct. 5, 1951. Jr. grew up in Carey and spent his life helping those in the community.
For many years, Junior was employed by the Village of Carey in the public works department; he took particular pride in keeping Carey’s roads safe during winter. After retirement, he began working for Our Lady of Consolation parish as a groundskeeper and handyman. Never being one to sit still, Junior continued to work for Moreno’s Casual Dining helping with catering and maintenance. He made many lasting friendships along the way.
He was always the first person to help anyone in need, and his siblings remember calling on him to help with plumbing, landscaping or any other odd jobs. Both his sons remember him saying, “I’d give you my last twenty dollars if you needed it.”
In his free time, he could be found cheering on Notre Dame football, fishing or relaxing with a NASCAR race in the background. He was also known to enjoy the occasional Hallmark Christmas movie with his daughter-in-law and family cookouts.
Junior will be missed for his jovial and giving personality by his sons, Roger (Julia) Myers of Toledo and Joseph Myers of Carey; grandson, Forrest Myers; siblings, Donald (Brandi Griffin) Myers, Robert “Ed” (Loli) Myers, Dwight “Ike” (Tracy) Myers, Janice (Pat) Doran, Nancy (Ronald) Schumm, Harry (Jane) Myers, David (Susie) Myers, Tom (Jodi) Myers and Julie (John) Napier, and numerous nieces and nephews.
A private visitation and service will be held for family at Stombaugh-Batton Funeral Home in Carey on Friday, June 3, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. with services at 1 p.m. A public graveside service will be held at St. Mary’s Cemetery, Carey on Friday, June 3, at 1:45 p.m. with the Rev. Tom Merrill, OFM Conv., officiating.
