Marshall Jacob Myers (1983 ~ 2008)

During his brief 25 years, Marshall loved, inspired, challenged, and cajoled us to love him unconditionally. We will always remember him for his loving nature, his creativity in art and words, his generosity, and loyalty to family and friends.

Marshall had eclectic taste in music, was working towards a degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Utah, enjoyed gardening, hiking, seeing the world, and spending time with his friends. He spoke Latin, dabbled in oil painting, was an experienced tarot card reader, and loved experimenting with spices and flavors in the kitchen.

A deeply spiritual person, Marshall sought enlightenment from religious and philosophical traditions from around the world. His was not the easiest journey through life. He confronted challenges many people twice his age have never seen. We wish him peace and joy in the next phase of his soul's journey. He is survived by his parents and his two sisters. Preceded in death by his brother Jeremy.

Marshall Jacob Myers committe suicide on April 28th, 2008. Family and friends gathered shortly after to celebrate his life. No formal funeral services were held, but a commemorative headstone will be placed in Larkin Sunset Gardens in Sandy, Utah.
