Russell Dale Meyers

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Russell Dale Meyers, affectionately known as "Rusty," who departed this world peacefully in his sleep on November 7, 2026, after a courageous battle with esophageal cancer. Rusty's life began on December 22, 1959, in the close-knit community of Bondurant, Iowa, where he was born to Dale Eugene Meyers and Edith Grace (Richardson) Meyers. His early years were shaped by the love and guidance of his parents and grandparents, who predeceased him. Rusty was a man who embraced life fully, finding joy in the simplest of pleasures. A true aficionado of rock music, he spent countless hours immersed in the rhythm and soul of his favorite tunes, always eager to share his passion with those around him. His love for music was matched only by his appreciation for good food, both of which brought him immense happiness throughout his life. Known for his infectious laughter and quick wit, Rusty was the ultimate jokester. He possessed an innate ability to bring smiles to those around him, making him a beloved friend and family member. Fun-loving and lighthearted, he was the kind of person who could turn an ordinary day into an unforgettable experience. Rusty's legacy lives on through the cherished memories of his siblings, Randy Meyers and wife Susan, Pamela Gibson and husband Tommy, and Ronald Meyers and wife Diane. He also leaves behind a large extended family of nieces and nephews. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated staff at Springhill Healthcare in Wewoka, OK, and Victory Hospice of Ada, OK, for their compassionate care during Rusty's final days. Deep appreciation is also extended to the doctors and staff at OU Medical and Stephenson Cancer Center for their unwavering support and expertise. In honor of Rusty’s life, the family suggests donations be made to a charity of your choice, reflecting the spirit of generosity that he embodied. To Rusty, we say this: Rock on, brother! We will see you on the other side. Your laughter, love, and music will forever resonate in our hearts. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
