James 'Jim' David Myers

James “Jim” David Myers, of Warrensburg, Missouri, formerly of Dadeville, Missouri, passed away at the Missouri Veterans Home Warrensburg, Missouri, on Sunday, October 25, 2020, at the age of 84 after battling Parkinson’s disease for several years.

Jim was born on March 2, 1936 to R. Paul and Dale (McGill) Myers in Polk County, Missouri. He graduated from Dadeville High School in 1954. After graduation, he attended Southwest Missouri State University for a year and then worked for Caterpillar, Inc. in Peoria, Illinois for a short time.

On February 8, 1958, he was united in marriage to Judith Hannah. They were blessed with 62 years of wedded bliss. He served two years active duty in the U.S. Army and was stationed at Loring Air Force Base in Limestone, Maine, for the duration. He then served in the Army Reserves until being honorably discharged in 1964.

After he finished his active duty in the U.S. Army, Jim and Judith moved to Kansas City, Missouri, where he attended Molar Barber School. After getting his barber’s license, he was a successful barber for 33 years. During this time, he was the owner of three different shops in the Raytown, Missouri, area. Jim retired in December of 1995 and moved to his farm in Dade County, Missouri, in March of 1996. He enjoyed his retirement years with family and friends: playing golf in the Lockwood Golf League with his “golfing buddies”, having fish fries with friends, and entertaining grandchildren on the farm. Jim was very proud of his three sons and eight grandchildren and their accomplishments.

He served as deacon in the Bona Church of Christ until his health caused him to resign.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Dale Myers; two brothers, Robert and Bill Myers; one sister-in-law, Connie Myers; and one nephew, Dan Myers.
