Gerald A. Meyers

Gerald Allen Meyers, beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on August 15, 2026, in Tabiona, Utah, at the age of 82.

Gerald was born on October 31, 1943, and grew up in Hinsdale, Massachusetts. He was the third-born of five children, growing up alongside his brothers and sister. He proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War.

Following his military service, Gerald built a career as an airplane mechanic for United Airlines. His work with United relocated him and his family to Sandy, Utah, where he resided for most of his years. Eventually, he was able to permanently move to his favorite place, Tabby Mountain, where he found the peace, beauty, and outdoor life he loved so much.

Gerald found great joy in the outdoors. He loved hunting, fishing, riding four-wheelers, and watching birds and animals, taking pleasure in observing the wildlife and beauty around him. He was also an avid card player and enjoyed the laughter, friendly competition, and time spent with family and friends around the table. And if you knew Gerald, you knew his love for Patsy Cline. Her music held a special place in his heart, and she was always his favorite.

To his grandchildren, Gerald was simply “Poppie.” The name became a part of who he was and a name that will forever carry the warmth and love they felt for him. Poppie was a wonderful storyteller and a true baby whisperer. He always seemed to have a story to tell and a lap ready for the little ones to climb up onto. His grandchildren could sit beside him and listen to one of his many tales, creating memories they will carry with them for years to come. And somehow, Poppie often became the one trusted to settle the babies down for a nap or bedtime. There was something about his voice, his stories, and his comforting presence that could make even the fussiest little one feel safe and sleepy.

Above all, Gerald treasured his family. He is survived by his children, Kimberly Gauthier, Lori (Doug) Davis, and Peggy Meyers; his grandchildren, Jaimie (Matthew), Jeremy (Lauren), Amanda (Cory), Troy, Tynan (Kylie), Samantha, Zach (Rae), Megan, and Ella (Coleman); and his great-grandchildren, Connor, Keegan, Niclas, Reagan, Theo, and Beau. He is also survived by his siblings, Robert (Marnie) Meyers, Donald (Judy) Meyers, and Sandra Matthews; his sister-in-law, Regina Meyers; and many nieces and nephews who will carry his memory with them.

Gerald was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Emilie Meyers; his brother, Thomas Meyers; his brother-in-law, Dave Matthews; and his grandson, Trevor Davis.

Gerald will be remembered for the life he lived, the adventures he enjoyed, the stories he shared, and the memories he created with those who loved him.

His presence will be deeply missed, but his memory will continue to live on through his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, siblings, nieces and nephews, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Rest peacefully, Poppie. You will be deeply loved and forever missed.
