Willie was born on June 7, 1972 to Roger and Frankie (Whittenburg) Myers in Martinsburg, West Virginia. He resided in Iowa with cousins Sherry Steinkuehler, Calista Trimble, Wanda and Roy Stanley, Sandy and Brian VanHeiden. Along with Aunt Charlotte and Uncle LaVerne Schutterle and cousins Scott, Brittney, Stephenie, Kevin, Jeaniejo, Dan, Makayla, Jarrett, Autumn, Dillon, Kelsea, Andrew and Dean.
Willie was employed at Victor Manufacturing, formally employed by Quantum Plastics. Willie’s hobbies were playing pool, playing cornhole and driving the ranger. He loved his tunes and sitting around a good fire. He especially loved hanging out with his coop family. His famous words were “Ta Da” and “Quick fast in a hurry.” Calling someone a “sissy baby” was the highlight of his night.
Willie had a contagious smile, an infectious laugh and a heart of gold. He will be deeply missed.
He is survived by his sisters, Karen (Rob) Wetzel of West Virginia and Leslie (John) Derby of North Carolina; Uncle Edward (Shirley) Myers, Aunt Lorraine Cole, Uncle Lyle Myers all of West Virginia. Also surviving are several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
