John William “Bill” Myers III passed away with his family by his side on February 22, 2017, in Phoenix, AZ. He was born July 2, 1958, in Holbrook, AZ.
Bill Myers, son of Bill and JoAnn Myers, grew up in Holbrook, AZ. He attended Holbrook High School, where he excelled in track and field, and where he met the love of his life, Linda. He graduated in the Class of 1976, and Bill and Linda were married in September of the same year.
He and Linda moved to Flagstaff, AZ in 1978 and started Flagstaff Well and Supply Co. Bill was a third-generation water well driller, and provided drilling and pump services across Northern Arizona. As a water well professional, Bill served as president of the Arizona Water Well Association, and worked with state and national legislatures to protect groundwater. Bill made many great friends through his business, and truly loved his career.
It was also in Flagstaff, AZ that Bill and Linda raised their three children. As a devoted father and family man, he always strived to make sure his children had the best, and found great joy in watching their accomplishments. He was full of personality and character, had a great sense of humor, and was always quick to bring a smile to others. He enjoyed riding motorcycles, boating, the outdoors, travel, and music, as well as discussing history and politics. Later in life he found great joy in playing with his seven grandchildren and sharing his many hobbies with them. Bill served faithfully through the years in many callings in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, always willing to lend a hand to others and serve wherever he was needed. He and Linda were sealed for time and all eternity in the Mesa Arizona Temple on 24 September 1988.
He is survived by his wife and best friend, Linda Myers, of Flagstaff, AZ; his children, Christi Carlson (Eric) of Flagstaff, AZ, Cody Myers (Marianne) of Houston, TX, Corey Myers of Flagstaff, AZ; his parents, Bill and Joann Myers, of Holbrook, AZ; and sister Jackie Long (Greg), of Holbrook, AZ. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Chase, Preston, Porter, Wylie, Baylee, Bryce, and Kynlee, as well as a large extended family who loved “Uncle Billy,” and a countless number of dear friends.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents Bill and Jacora Myers.
