Monday, April 03, 2017Rodeo who counted a big Irish setter and a palomino horse among his best friends, Tanner said. “He was quite the man.”As evidence of Myers’ cowboy heart, he was an annual participant in the Bison Roundup at Antelope Island for many years. “He wouldn’t miss that,” Tanner said.Tanner also described Myers as a great intellect, recalling him purchasing early editions of the “world’s greatest” books and delving into them. He said Myers had read most of the world’s great authors by the time he was 30.Described as a self-made man, Myers started in the funeral home business when he was “struggling to make it,” Tanner said.“He came out of the Army and took that little business his father started and turned it into a real business,” Tanner said.Despite his struggles, Tanner said Myers made time for a social life. He and Tanner, along with Roy Nelson and Joe Florence, were known for 60 years as “The Fearsome Foursome.” They were together, along with their wives, each week for about 60 years, Tanner said.Noted businessman Alan Hall said Myers was a noble mentor and a steady presence in the area.“I really looked at him as one of the great servant leaders of our community,” Hall said. “He was very focused on people.”Myers influenced Weber County in business, the community and at church, Hall said, “just about every way you could think of.”He was part of a cadre who built Weber County to what it is, Hall said. Myers’ service included time as a Northern Utah spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; he held many church callings, including bishop, high councilman and in the stake presidency. He was president of the Utah Funeral Directors Association. Describing Myers as “a man without guile,” Hall said he treated others with respect, no matter who they were.Scott Parkinson, w...

In 2013, he moved back to Great Falls to live in residence at Corpus Christi Parish and to enjoy retirement while hearing confessions and concelebrating Mass in that parish community.Fr.

He was firm in his belief that, if one helps another in need, he is helping Christ Himself.Fr. Ray loved his family dearly. He kept in close touch with his parents, his sister and brother and their families. His father, “Papa Ray,” lived with him for many of the last years of his life.
