Stanford "Stan" Myers

Stanford Lee Myers (Stan), 76, of Mayflower, previously of North Little Rock, left this earth to be with his heavenly Father, September 14, 2012. He was born April 26, 1936 in Algoma, Wisconsin to Harold and Natalie Myers. Stan had battled Multiple Myeloma cancer for 18 months but actually died of a heart attack. Through it all he was still able to give praise to his Lord for carrying him through the hard times. He was a Korean War Veteran having served in the Air Force for four years. Stan had been an insurance salesmen in the North Little Rock and Little Rock area for many years before retiring in 2001 to take care of his father. He took great pride in being able to help his clients with their insurance needs. For the past four years he had lived in Mayflower and was a member of Central Baptist Church in Conway. Prior to that he had been a member of Park Hill Baptist Church in North Little Rock for 25 years where he taught pre-school Sunday School classes for 20 years. Stan had a great love for building and flying model radio controlled gliders. He spent many happy hours at the sod farm in Scott with his flying buddies, especially his dear friend Keith Maddison. Stan was preceded in death by his parents, mother-in-law, Mary Gossard and foster daughter, Tammy McGee. Survivors left to cherish memories of Stan include, his wife of 53 years, Mary Jo Goodman Myers, of Mayflower; sons, Scott Myers (Kimberly) of Maumelle, Mark Myers (Luann), of Mayflower; granddaughter, Amanda Myers, of Mayflower; step-grandchildren, Wendi Blanton (Kevin) of Beebe, Joseph Francis (Kala) and step-great grandchildren, Bailey, Hailey, Kailey Jo and Ethan. He is also survived by a sister, Barbara Balliet, of Elk Grove, California; brother-in-law, Robert Goodman (Mary Jane), of Springdale as well as aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews. Special thanks is extended to the medical and support staff of the VA Hospital in Little Rock for the excellent care given to Stan over the years, especially his cancer doctor, Muhammad A. Khan, M.D. The family also wishes to express gratitude to the members of the "Young at Heart" class at Central Church in Conway for their ministry to Stan during his most recent illness.
