It is with great sadness that the family of Chester Monroe Myers announces his passing on April 23, 2020 at the age of 72, Chett passed away from cardiopulmonary arrest after a long battle fighting several illnesses. Chett was born August 5, 1948 in Grand Rapids, Minnesota to Chester Elwood Myers and Hattie Estella Hubbard. He moved to Arroyo Grande, California as a young boy with his family. Chett went into the United States Army and served his country in the Vietnam War and like so many, eventually died as a result of his exposure to Agent Orange. After returning home from war he continued his service in Law Enforcement. He loved all the different aspects of his job, but most of all he loved taking the bad guys off the streets! He worked for several agencies including Santa Barbara Sheriffs Department. He eventually retired from Atascadero Police Department in the early 90‘s after 20 plus years of service. Chett married Ruth M. Hindt in September of 1988 and he enjoyed many phases in their years together from their mini ranch in Paso Robles, California to his dream of settling in Arizona or (Somewhere other than California ;0/). Whether working with their horses or traveling across our beautiful country on motorcycles, they were blessed and they knew it! He acquired his general contractors license shortly after he retired from the police department and continued to work very hard until his various illnesses slowed him to a stop. He is survived by his wife Ruth M Myers of 32 years, sisters: Diana Herrington (Robert) Nashwauk MN, Dawn McDermott Nashwauk,MN, Jodi Bradley Kingman, AZ.,and Kathryn Woodard (John) Kingman, AZ. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews, step siblings, cousins and many friends. He is preceded in death by his father Chester E. Myers and his mother Hattie E. Gabriel. Due to the Corona Virus, services and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
