Kenneth Earl Meyer went to be with the Lord on Friday August 19, 2016. He was born May 23, 1936 in Needville, Texas. Kenneth grew up in Beasley, Texas and attended Beasley High School. After high school Kenneth enlisted in the United States Army and was stationed in Germany. In Germany, Kenneth would become a mechanic and worked on anything and everything. This is where he learned to tinker on Volkswagens and became a jack of all trades and mastered most!
Following his honorable discharge he would begin working at Fabricators and then Gulf States Tube where he would retire after 36 years. Kenneth lived in Beasley, Texas until he built his own home and settled in New Ulm, Texas. Kenneth was a very Christian man and was very involved and dedicated to his church "In His Presence" in Deer Park, Texas. Kenneth had a huge place in his heart for Freemasonry. He worked his way through the chairs to become the worshipful master of Rosenberg lodge 881.
Kenneth is survived by his wife Lydia; his brother Albert Meyer and wife Iris; his sister Zelda Geick; his son Kenny Meyer and wife Janet; his daughter Sylvia Rivas; his son Clint Meyer and wife Lisa; his son Reagan Meyer and wife Yvonne; his step-daughter Bobbie Anderson and husband Nick.
