Jeffrey Scott "Jeff' Myers, age 55, of Arkansas City, Kansas, passed away December 16, 2020 at the Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas.  He was born July 30, 1965 to Gaylen R. and Diana Kay (Wooderson) Myers in Wichita, Kansas.

Jeff grew up and attended schools in Wichita, Burden, and Winfield.  He graduated from Winfield High School in 1984.  After high school, he attended and graduated from Wichita Auto and Electronics Institute.  On June 6, 1987, Jeff and Tricia Paine were married in Winfield, Kansas.  The couple made their home in Arkansas City, Kansas.  Jeff owned and operated Premier Body and Paint for 28 years.  He was a member of the Beathik C.C. and a past member of the Tumbleweeds. 

Jeff had a gift for creating and working on kustom cars.  His ability and talent surpassed anyone when it came to bodywork and repairs.  The only thing he loved more than working on kustom cars was driving them.  He and his close friends would take several trips to year to California, cruising the backroads, to attend several different car shows, most of which he won awards at.  Although Jeff had a special love for cars and working on them, that love never compared to the love he had for his family and close friends.  He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Surviving to honor his memory is his loving wife of 33 years, Tricia Myers of the home in Arkansas City, Kansas; two sons, Garrett Myers and Lucas "Luke" Myers and girlfriend, Jaycee Burlee, all of Arkansas City, Kansas;  his mother, Diana Kay Blatchford of Arkansas City, Kansas; his brother, Nick Myers of Dexter, Kansas; his half-sisters, Donna Walton of Wichita and Collina Myers of South Haven, Kansas; his father-in-law, James Paine of Arkansas City, Kansas; his step- father-in-law, Joe Walker of Arkansas City, Kansas; and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and his granddog, Lucy.  Jeff was preceded in death by his father, Gaylen Myers; his sister, Nichole Myers; his stepfather, John Blatchford; his mother-in-law, JoAnn Walker; and his grandparents, Cecil and Margery Wooderson and Richard and Dorothy Myers.

Cremation has been effected.  A Live Celebration of Life was held on December 22, 2020 through the website of Rindt-Erdman Funeral Home in Arkansas City, Kansas.  In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made in Jeff's name to the Jeff Myers Memorial Fund.  Contribution may be made through the funeral home.  Arrangements are under the direction of the Rindt-Erdman Funeral Home and Crematory, 100 E.
