Martin Carl Meyers

Obituary

Passed on

October 19 1958 – December 25 2025

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Marty Meyers, at the age of 67, a devoted husband, the world’s best dad, and the most amazing grandpa.

Marty fought hard to stay with us, but he received his wings on Christmas morning. He leaves behind his loving wife, Kim; his sons Brent (Ashley), Dale (Kim), and Thomas (Dana); and his cherished grandchildren Tora, Jace, Kinley, Kali, Charlotte, Cooper, and Brooks.

He is also survived by his siblings Doug, Marg (Rick), Ken (Laura), Dave (Shari), Vic (Crystal), and Tracey (Lionel); his in-laws Judy, Debbie, Tim (Corrie), Miles, and Chad; along with many nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly.

Marty was predeceased by his parents, Florence and Ole Meyers; his sister, Kathy; his father-in-law, Ed Rothwell; and his sister-in-law, Tracey Sigurdson.

Raised in Balmoral, Manitoba, Marty was truly a lover of life and was always known for his big smile and unforgettable laugh. He was a very proud truck driver who hauled many different loads over the years, including gravel, heavy equipment, peat moss, produce, steel, rafters, and hay. He travelled coast to coast, including trips to Texas and California. His favourite part of the job was stopping at truck stops for a meal and calling home. Marty was also a winter road truck driver, and every year he said he wasn’t going to do it again — until the next year, when he did. He was often found in the backyard polishing the chrome on his truck or washing it off, taking great pride in his rig.

He was an avid sports lover who played and coached hockey and baseball, loved NFL football, and never missed Formula 1 racing. Marty also enjoyed water skiing, fishing, hunting, muscle cars, trucks, quadding, and snowmobiling.

Above all else, Marty absolutely loved his grandchildren, and they all adored him. He was a fun, hands-on grandpa who would run through sprinklers, slide downhill, or jump into any activity just to make them laugh and have fun.  Family bonfires were one of Marty’s favourite traditions — sitting around the fire laughing, talking, and watching the stars and satellites go by.  His family was the most important thing in his life.

Marty will be deeply missed, but he leaves behind countless wonderful memories that will be shared and cherished forever.

A private gathering for immediate family will be held at a later date.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the nurses at HSC for their compassionate care and support.
