Thomas Jay Myers

Thomas Jay Myers, 23, Stillwater, was born November 17, 1995, the last
baby born at Perry Memorial Hospital and after they had ­discontinued
delivering babies.
He came into this world with the whole ­nursing staff scrambling to find
the right equipment ­necessary for him to be delivered.
He was taken from his family and friends much too soon on Monday,
October 28, 2019, as a result of a traffic accident, just north of
Stillwater.
Thomas is the son of Twana G. Brown, Perry, and Jeffrey J. Myers Jr., Enid.
He earned his GED and was employed as a delivery ­driver for Spectrum
Paints in Stillwater, often bringing paint to businesses to his hometown
of Perry, and other towns in the Stillwater area.
Thomas enjoyed fishing, skateboarding, music, kayaking, good food and
hanging out with friends and family.
In his family, Thomas was the peacemaker. He didn’t like conflict and
when he stepped in, the conflict stopped immediately. His family loved
his smile and contagious laugh.
In addition to his family, he enjoyed the large family of his sweetheart
of several years, Kassadi Rains...especially their annual trip to float
down the Illinois River.
His funeral service will be at 10:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 4, 2019 at
Dighton Marler Funeral Home Chapel in Stillwater. He will be buried at
Grace Hill Memorial Cemetery in Perry with a brief service at
approximately 12 noon, under the direction of Dighton Marler Funeral
Home. Pastor Lonnie Rutherford will officiate.
