Franklin “Frank” Myers passed away Thursday, Aug. 1, 2024, at the age of 81 at his home.

He was born Jan. 2, 1943, to Emzie and Elnora Myers. Both preceded him in death. Frank married Paula Job Myers on Sept. 3, 1993. She preceded him in death.

He worked for Nip Kelley Construction and retired after 50 years of service.

Frank was a member of the Masonic Lodge of Jackson. His love of dogs led him to start Creekwood Golden Retrievers. Creekwood Goldens can be found nationwide and internationally. One can only imagine the welcome he received from the hundreds of Goldens from Creekwood.

Although not a member of any particular church, Frank loved the promises he learned from God’s word and often shared them with others.
