David enjoyed traveling to the states. His family wrote: &#8220He loved little children and small animals most in the world, spending a small fortune every winter feeding the birds and squirrels. Dave took great pride in the fact that the beavers helped him getting the wood for his woodpile, making things much easier for him in his last years.”

He is survived by his wife, Norina Delores; son, David Lee Myers and his lady Machelle; daughter, Sandra Dee Myers, all living in Sutton; siblings, Esther Myers of Anchorage, Rosetta &#8220Sis” Dragseth of Kenai, Elizabeth &#8220Bets” Anderson of Wasilla, Earl &#8220Buzz” Myers of Costa Rica and Ruth &#8220Ike” Sieloff of Palmer; also 20 nieces and nephews.
