John A. Myers

John A. Myers, 59, of Uniontown, went home to be with the Lord after a long battle with lung cancer on May 3, 2019. He was born on January 1, 1960 in Alliance, Ohio to parents, Donald and Jean Myers. He attended Waterloo High School, and served in the US Airforce. He later graduated from the University of Akron. John worked as a computer programmer for the Akron Public Schools. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle barefoot and being outside in the sun. He loved attending his grandchildren's ball games, and spending time with his family, and friends in the program. John had a huge heart and a radiant smile. He never missed a chance to say "I love you," or give someone a hug.
