SOUTH BEND - David F. Myers, 65, of South Bend, passed away at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, December 11, in his home after a long harsh battle with cancer. He was born on April 24, 1942, in Mishawaka, to Frederick and Phyllis (Long) Myers, who preceded him in death.

After 22 years together, on July 8, 2000, in South Bend, David married Fay Lykowski. David is survived by a brother, James R. Myers of Pattaya, Thailand; and four children, David Shane Myers, Michael Jon Myers, Judi Lykowski of South Bend and Julie (Jeff) Hirsch of Mishawaka. He has two grandchildren.

David retired after 25 years at Bendix/Honeywell. He was a graduate of Mishawaka High School and attended Indiana University. David served in the United States Army from 1961 to 1965 as an Artillery Specialist. He was awarded the Good Conduct Medal. Although David resided in South Bend/Mishawaka his entire life, he truly spent most of his time enjoying life in Dowagiac, MI, on Magician Lake at his best friend, Tommy Wurzbenski's lake cottage. The two met while working at Bendix and were friends ever since. David was an avid Notre Dame football fan, played on several bowing and softball leagues and was a member of American Legion Post 50 in South Bend. He attended St. Joseph Church in Mishawaka.

Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, December 14, in ST. JOSEPH FUNERAL HOME, 1827 E. Ireland Road. Cremation will take place.
