Fredrick Myers was born October 31, 1922 at Providence Hospital in Faulkton, SD to Edwin and Harriet (Kuhl) Myers. He attended the Taylor Country School until the 8th grade. He then worked on the family farm with his father. Fritz continued farming and ranching the majority of his life.
On June 26, 1946, Fritz married Doris Frasier at St. Thomas parsonage, Faulkton. They raised their family on the family ranch and each of their children attended the same country school Fritz did. Two days prior to Fritz’s and Doris 60th wedding anniversary, Fritz joined St. Thomas Catholic Church in Faulkton.
Fritz enjoyed his life immensely. The time he could spend hunting, fishing for bullheads, dancing and spending time with family was always treasured by him. He also loved being the jokester.

My thoughts and prayers go out t your family. I went to St. Mary’s Academy (class of 1979) and was taught by Br. Bill. I hope it eases your mind and grief knowing that Fritz is now with Our Lord and that his pain is gone.
With My Deepest Sympathy,

Our sympathies to the Myers family. It has been many years since we had visited with Fritz and Doris but sure did enjoy him when he was out here in Spearfish. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Dear Doris and Family,
So sorry to hear about Fritz passing. I can remember fishing with him and Dad. To this day I can’t eat a bullhead. He will always hold a special place in my heart because he made me laugh. He was a good friend to our family and he will be remembered dearly.
Dear Doris,
Losing one’s husband can cause a loneliness unlike any other, but having your children near will help ease the difficulty of the days ahead.
With your fortitude and courage I am sure you will adjust to your new situation. I know you are grateful for the many happy year you shared with Fritz.
Love.
David & Roswita Meyer

doris I will not be able to attend Frits funeral due to weather. Our thoughts and prayer surround you. I have many fond memories of Fritz’s big smile, his eyes lighting up when he spotted you coming and waving good bye. He loved seeing his family. I remember his smile when Aleah visited. I will always cherish seeing you as acouple hand in hand, hugs, side by side at music events, puzzling or watching movies in Fritz room. As Lauretta said you were a good wife. Your family is blessed to have loving parents to remember and cherish. love Laureen Hinders

Our Deepest Sympathy to you all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Doris, My folks knew your family well and I always marveled at how faithful and attentive you were to Fritz while in the nursing home. Always enjoyed our visits when we came to see Mom before she passed away. Soory this is late but still do not have the Faulkton Record of Fritz death. I heard about from the visit Bill made in Mitchell at Donna Hillmans on the way to the funeral.
Dick, Kim (Bush, Meyers & Co.)
We are sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing he is in a better place and that someday we will join him in heaven. May God Bless and keep you in his care. All Our love-
