Holmes Funeral Home in Valentine was in charge of arrangements. Lynn Meyers was born April 29, 1939, in Ainsworth to Vern and Anna Meyers. He grew up in a sod house south of town with his brother, Gene, and sister, Marian. Lynn left high school to join the U.S. Navy, sailing on the USS Fechteler, a destroyer that protected aircraft carriers that were located in the South Pacific Sea and the China Sea. In 1963, he married Dixie Ross and had two sons, Thane and Monte. Lynn was a ranch hand for various ranchers south of Valentine from 1963 until 1976, when he moved his family into town. He began working for Tetherow Cattle Co. and Perrett Construction, the latter being where he was employed as a heavy equipment operator until his retirement. His wife, Dixie, always loved traveling with Lynn as he worked road construction jobs across Nebraska. Lynn and Dixie were very much in love throughout their 39-year marriage; his heart was broken when Dixie died in 2002. Lynn was the definition of a tough ole cowboy. He loved his horse, Tim, and spent his younger years riding bulls and wrestling steers in area rodeos, winning many awards. In his later years, after he retired and until the day he passed, he was dedicated to strength training and keeping physically fit. He could often be found walking up and down bleachers at the fairgrounds counting his progress with coins or wandering the canyons looking for wildlife. He also enjoyed history and spent many hours checking out books at the library and watching documentaries, ready to impart his new knowledge when his family visited. Lynn’s family will remember most his sense of humor, his stories and his dedication to his wife, kids and grandchildren. And, even a tough ole cowboy gives in to having his hair braided and his nails painted if asked by one of his treasured granddaughters. He loved playing practical jokes and often had something ready to surprise his family. Some of the family’s best memories were playing cards with Lynn and Dixie, everyone laughing the entire time. He was a rock for his family and brought joy to those around him. Survivors include his sons, Monte and wife Laura Meyers and Thane and wife Kim Meyers; grandchildren, Shad, Lindsay, Krista, Amanda, AJ, Shelby, Tara and Emma; great-grandchildren, Jayden, Brooklynn, Brooklyn, Amaya, Grant, Mason, Bentley, Braelon, Brinn, Blake and Gannon; and many cousins, nieces and nephews. Lynn was preceded in death by his wife; his parents; his brother; his sister; his in-laws, Arnold, Kay and Ted Ross; and many other loved ones. While our hearts are broken, we know it was time for the cowboy to ride away. We will always love you, Grandpa Lynn.
