Lyle Eugene Meyer of Cisco, Texas, passed away Monday, June 5th, 2023 after having battled cancer for the past two years.
A "Celebration of Life" get-together will be held at a later date.
Lyle was born on April 4th, 1955 at the Valley County Hospital in Ord, Nebraska to Jess and Joan (VanSkike) Meyer. He grew up on the family farm east of Scotia, Nebraska where he attended Fish Creek District 2N Country School through the 5th grade. He then attended North Loup-Scotia Consolidated Schools until he graduated in 1973. Lyle then began working for Redman Manufacturing in Grand Island, Nebraska. He moved with the company to Florida in 1985. In 1996, he moved to Breckenridge, Texas when the company was bought by Crestridge Homes. This is where he met and fell in love with Mae Savage, the woman who would become his wife for the past nineteen years. They moved to Waco, Texas, where Lyle was the Material Manager for Clayton Homes until he finished his career in 2018. The couple then moved to Cisco, Texas, to enjoy retirement. Lyle was a master builder and woodworker. He recently built an elevator lift for Mae's camper, where the hardware store employee called him a "MacGyver." He was quick to help friends with their projects and loved to make improvements around the house.
He was preceded in death by his Grandparents, Ray and Clara Meyer, and Francis and Madge VanSkike; his parents, Jess R. & C. Joan Meyer; his brother, M. Ray Meyer; his brother-in-law, Vaughn Scarborough; and Colleen's husband, Ron Brown.
