Donald L Myers, born August 31st in Huntington Beach, CA. passed away February 1, 2019, in Mesa, Arizona. He was 63 years old. He is survived by his wife of 36 years Joan Myers, 2 sons Jason and Michael and a grandson Gavin. He moved here in 1962 with his family where they settled in south east Phoenix. He attended Balsz Elementary school and East High School, class of 1973. His passions in life were music, cars and the Pittsburgh Steelers. His love of music came from his mother and his love of cars and football from his dad. These influences eventually inspired him to be a Disc Jockey both in radio and nightclubs, an entertainment director, photographer and a machinist/mechanic. He was a devoted and loving husband to his wife Joan. He was a great friend to all of his childhood friends and stayed connected throughout his life, as well as making many new friends along the way. He will be missed deeply by all he touched and loved. God Bless Dee we love you. In Lieu of flowers you can make donations to the WWP the Wounded Warrior Project. Preferably in Arizona.

I remember meeting Dee through Ken Rippee back in 1979. I considered Dee one of my best friends and confidants. Over the years I’m grateful he got to meet and bond with my family. I spoke to him 4:30, 2 hours before he passed. He sounded content and was happy I was coming over to watch Super Bowl with him. The day after he passed away I heard a motor I swore was coming from Firebird Raceway but I don’t think they had race. He’s always present in my house as I still use his old Yamaha receiver, a Panasonic receiver in my bedroom he got me in a trade, 2 JBL bookshelfs in living room and his 70″ SBR. Clay and I are both grateful we got to spend time with him. He will be missed.
I met Dee and Joannie through my husband Vince Hatcher. Dee was a very generous, funny and talented man who was always looking for a way to share that with you! He loved the Steelers and I the Cowboys so we had a few rousing conversations regarding who is the best. Agreed to disagree! He lives on in my memory with that side ways snicker look he gave and his laugh. We sat in his living room recently listening to Primus and Rush, why? because we could! I am a better person for having met he and Joannie. You are missed DeeDee.
Rest In Peace my old friend. I miss you dearly.
Rest in peace. Thoughts and prayers to family and friends.
I hung out with Dee from time to time, usually cruising Central with “Tumbling Dice”
Was not aware of his passing until I was looking him up concerning my experience with the famous Von Dutch.
Recall going with him to pick up his car after it was pinstriped.
Always funny, always seemed to be smiling.
