Dean Allen Myers was born July 16, 1983.  He grew up in the Kansas City area and worked most of his life as a mechanic specializing in tire repair.  He seemed to know how to work on or fix just about anything.  Dean’s greatest love was for his daughters, Mariah, Paeton, and Keylea, along with his grandchildren.  He also enjoyed watching the KC Chiefs, and Royals.  When he wasn’t spending time working, or with family he could be found fishing or hunting, no matter the weather.  He found his greatest peace on a boat with a fishing pole.  When he could no longer fish he would be watching it on tv. 

 

Dean is survived by his girlfriend Angela Rusher and her family of Butler, MO., his daughters Mariah, Paeton, and Keylea Myers all of Independence, MO., along with his grandchildren, and by his mother Florence Gilchrist, brother Jimmy Gilchrist, and sister Alicia Porter, his nieces, nephews, and extended family members and friends.
