Forrest G. "Babe" Myers

May 19, 1928 - August 12, 2020

Forrest G. “Babe” Myers, age 92 of Clare, passed away peacefully on August 12, 2020 at the Northwoods Nursing Center of Farwell. On May 19, 1928, Babe was born the son of Herman and Jessie (Landon) Myers in Branch, Michigan. He was united in marriage to Ruth Ogilvie on April 14, 1951 in Scottville, and the couple has enjoyed just over sixty-nine years of marriage since. After proudly serving in the U.S. Army at the Walter Reed Hospital, Babe worked as a meat cutter for the thirty years of his working life, largely for the Giant Way Grocery chain, which brought him to Clare in the late 1950’s when he left the Giant Way of Ludington to accept the head meat cutting job at the Clare store. Those that knew Babe knew that he was an avid outdoorsman that enjoyed fishing, hunting, and processing other hunter’s harvested deer—usually to the tune of 400 to 500 deer per season. Other passions of Babe’s included tending his garden and pond, but his greatest passion was his avid sponsor of Alcoholics Anonymous, a lasting legacy for which his family still receives testimonies of those he’s helped throughout the years. Babe’s survivors include his wife Ruth Myers of Clare and his four children Jim Myers of Clare, Shiela (Lee) Stuart of Kansa City, MO., Sandy Myers of Kalkaska, and Steve (Deb) Myers of Clare. Other survivors include his grandchildren Noel Burton, Shanna (Scott) Graham, Clinton Myers, Adam (Kelly) Owens, Andrew (Mary) Myers, and Alex Myers, his four great-grandchildren, and his sister Evelyn Stuart of Branch, MI. Babe was preceded in death by his parents Herman and Jessie Myers, his siblings Lee, Bud, and Richard Myers, and his daughter-in-law Karen Myers. In keeping with Babe’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A memorial service in honor of Babe and Ruth will take place on Saturday, September 11, 2021 at the Clare Chapel of Stephenson-Wyman Funeral Home. Visitation will be from noon until the time of service at 2 P.M. Memorial contributions may be directed to the 26th District of Alcoholics Anonymous. Online condolences may be shared at the Myers’ family page at www.stephenson-wyman.com
