Louis Leroy "Lee" Meyers February 13, 1952 ~ September 28, 2023
Louis Leroy “Lee” Meyers, born February 13, 1952 in Salt Lake City, was a beacon of kindness, gentleness, and optimism throughout his life.
He passed away surrounded by his loved ones at the age of 71 on September 28, 2023 in Blanding, leaving a legacy of love, dedication, and kindness.
From an early age, he showed a remarkable ability to connect with people and the world around him. Lee’s life was characterized by a series of adventurous endeavors that reflected his love for the great outdoors and his hardworking spirit.
His career spanned across ranching, working on an Alaskan Salmon Boat with Dee, and Yellowstone National Park. He also dedicated years of his life to the Salt Lake City Cemetery, the U.S Postal Mail Run, and eventually retired as a station supervisor for the Utah Department of Transportation. His commitment to safety was legendary, earning him numerous awards and recognition.
The heart of his life was his family. He was a devoted husband to his wife, Denice Alice Meyers, known as Dee.
Their love story spanned 44 years, culminating in a heartfelt sealing at the Monticello Utah Temple on their wedding anniversary on June 10, 2023.
Lee’s love extended to his children Daniel (Mindie), Brandi (Chrissy), Levi (Daphanie), Clint, MacKinzie (Brock), his siblings Donna (late, Bert), Penny, Denice (Steve), and Rod (Donna), his parents, Donald Lee Meyers (Patsy), Margaret Jane McNiel (Glenn), Papa and Nana.
He was a man of integrity and strength, a loving husband, father, grandfather of 12, and great-grandfather to four.
Lee was a man who knew the value of quality time. He cherished moments spent with his family on the mountain at “The Cabin”.
Camping, hunting, and fly fishing were more than just hobbies for him; they were opportunities to connect, to share, and to build lasting memories.
His passion for running heavy equipment was not just another skill but a reflection of his love for hands-on work and making a difference and serving people.
Those who were fortunate enough to have known Lee would describe him as a kind, gentle, and thoughtful man. He had a natural ability to make those around him feel valued and heard.
His kindness was not a trait he put on for show, but a genuine part of who he was. His gentle nature was a comfort to those around him, and his thoughtful actions often spoke louder than words.
As we remember Lee, let us honor his life by being humble and kind to others.
After many trials with his health these last three years and the many miracles and blessings we’ve received and witnessed, it has strengthened our family and built our testimonies and faith.
Lee took many opportunities to share his experiences, the gospel and his testimony with us. John 14:27
Lee and Dee would like to thank Dr. McCullough, UNHS, Dr. Kinsey at the Huntsman’s Cancer Institution, along with many other hospital staff and medical responders, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
