Gerald was united in marriage to Donna DeYoung, September 23, 2007, she survives of the home.  Also surviving are his children:  Ethan Meyr of Moberly, MO, Emilie Meyr of Guilford, CT, and Benjamin Meyr (Crystal) of Jefferson City, MO and two grandchildren.  Gerald was preceded in death by his parents.
