James Stephen Myers
(May 3, 1946- June 29, 2024)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James (Jim) Stephen Myers of Mount Pearl on June 29, at the age of 78. He passed peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family. He is predeceased by his parents Ralph (2010) and Teresa Myers (2009) of Bell Island, NL and parents-in-law Hector (1971) and Lillian Reid (1995) of Chapel Arm and Petty Harbour, NL. Leaving to mourn with loving memories are his wife Gloria, two daughters Sherrie (Tim) and Niki (Shawn), granddaughter Amelia, brothers Basil (Edna) and Clarence (Joyce), as well as many brothers- and sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces, and many other relatives and friends.
Jim was a devoted husband, proud father, even prouder grandfather, son, and brother. He was a protector, coach, volunteer, cheerleader of daughters and granddaughter, storyteller, listener, advice giver, wisdom sharer, avid reader, gardener’s assistant, master expletive sayer, big belly laugher, and sometimes bad joke teller. He was also a fixture on the sport fields, arenas, and courts of Newfoundland. Memorably, he was an obligated (yet enthusiastic) “taxi” driver. For many years, Jim ran a very non-lucrative side hustle affectionately called “Jimmy Cabs”, a service necessarily established to ensure that his daughters (as well as many others over the years) were always able to get home safely, day or (late) night. We are eternally grateful for this and all the wonderful memories. The role of grandfather was his obvious favourite – Amelia was the absolute light of his life. He loved his wife Gloria for over 55 years and his presence, constancy, and care will be missed greatly by her, but their love will endure eternally. Jim was also a very brave man who persevered through many of life’s struggles. May he rest in peace knowing that he was greatly appreciated, respected, and absolutely loved.
The family would like to thank the workers of TLC Nursing and Homecare for their assistance and care in the last year of his life, especially Jessica, Shannon, and Zerit, who are angels on this earth. Much appreciation is also extended to Dr. Kim Babb of the Geriatric Medicine Program for her time, support, compassion, for treating Jim with dignity, and for going above and beyond for him and his family.
Resting at Barrett’s Funeral Home 73 Commonwealth Avenue, Mt. Pearl on Thursday, July 4th from 11:00am-3:00pm and 5:00-9:00pm. Funeral Service will be held at Our Lady, Queen of Families Parish on Friday July 5th at 11:00am. Interment to follow at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. Flowers are accepted, but donations can also be made in lieu to the Cancer Care Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador.
