Obituary for Jack Meyer

MEYER

Jack Meyer went home to be with his Saviour and Lord suddenly on January 20, 2018. He was born August 18, 1937 in Cereal, Alberta to Carl and Robena Meyer. He moved with them to the family farm in Didsbury, Alberta when he was three years old. He was the oldest of three sons. Jack attended Waterloo Country School, Didsbury High School and Concordia Lutheran College in Edmonton, Alberta. During his early, single adult years, he first worked on a dairy farm and then on an oil rig as a roughneck. On May 3, 1958, Jack married his childhood sweetheart, Ruby Dageforde from Didsbury, Alberta. They resided in Didsbury where Jack was a salesman manager for Atlas Lumber. Then he was transferred to Ponoka, Alberta as a manager for Revelstoke Building Materials where he worked and lived with his family for six years. In 1972, he moved his family to Olds, Alberta where he bought a men’s clothing store and named it Meyer’s Mens Wear. He operated the store for 33 years with his wife, Ruby, and his son, Brent, during the last 15 years of business. Jack had been retired for 13 years and was enjoying his time with family and friends, watching sports, and most of all going west to “God’s country”. Out there, he enjoyed snowmobiling, hunting, quading, camping, and just breathing in the fresh air and viewing the mountain sights. Jack is survived by his loving wife Ruby of 59 years; his daughter Wendy (Ira) Mullin; his son Brent (Janelle) Meyer; his grandchildren Joshua Mullin, Meta Mullin, Jayden Meyer, and Brianna Meyer. He will also be greatly missed by his brothers Don (Marilyn) Meyer and Allen (Linda) Meyer; his brother-in-law Ted (Judy) Dageforde; sisters-in-law Jean Stewart and Eileen (Jerry) Dutkiewicz; and many beloved nieces and nephews. A private family Celebration of Life was held January 26, 2018 at Heartland Funeral Services Chapel in Olds, Alberta. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes may be made to Gideons International.
