He graduated from American Fork High School in 1956, and in 1957, he married Esther Day in the Salt Lake Temple.

Together they had eight delightful children, Laurel, Annette, Myron, Kendell, Melanie, Michael, Angela, Melinda and Benjamin, who treasured his love, laughter, music, and stories.

He was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings. He especially enjoyed his musical opportunities directing and singing and his service as an ordinance worker at the Bountiful Utah Temple.

Myron worked as a civil servant for forty years. He was a supervisor in the International Logistics Branch. He was grateful to have been treated well with the many countries he worked with including Pakistan, Egypt, Isreal, Singapore, Belgium, Norway, Denmark, and the Netherlands.

The family has resided in Kaysville for the last fifty-three years where they have enjoyed warm interactions with neighbors and ward members.

He is survived by Laurel (Walt) Moyer; Ronnie Madruga; Kendell (Janette) Smith; Melanie (Dave) Richardson, Michael (Lori) Smith; Angie (Robert) Archibald; Minday (Eric) Smith; his 22 grandchildren, and 21 Great-grandchildren.
