Was I there? Because that cross dressing prostitute part, sounds vaguely familiar. Man, I have some Jeff stories too, maybe later. I miss him. Fuck cancer Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Breaks my heart. So sorry for his family and many many friends. RIP Jeff. Sent from my SM-G988U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
R.I.P. My sympathies to all the friends and family. I have seen his cars for years but never got the chance to talk to him.
Proverb - We will be known by the tracks we leave - I think Jeff’s will be Purple , Sincere condolences to his family and friends
R.I.P. Jeff! Living like 10 miles from him and his shop I got used to seeing his creations all the time, which was an honor. How many have driven one of their hotrods in the winter without windows? Jeff did....he was one of a kind.
Damn, that is sad to see and may he rest in peace. I never knowingly met the man but admired his work for a longtime it seems. Did he happen to have a purple F 100 about 2014?
Wow. Been a long time since I talked to him. Had to be down at the Go-Away for some kustom art event Mitch was hosting. RIP, Jeff.
Met him about 25 years ago at the AC Tumbleweeds, Last Run Car Show. Super nice guy and a real artist in metal and paint...
I used to see Jeff at a lot of the shows around Wichita. I was kind of surprised once when I ran into him at a VW show! He said his son was getting into VW's so they drove up to Wichita to check it out. I didn't know him real well but used to hang out at "The Go-Away" so there was that connection. But I can tell you his family and close friends are hurting real bad. If you know any of them please reach out. They might need a shoulder to cry on. RIP Jeff.
I'm honored that my '45' HD wears a Jeff Myers paint job . He was always upbeat and was a good story teller . RIP Jeff
Never got to meet Jeff, but knew his name pretty well. As a few others have said, his cars were pretty easily recognizable. Not over the top, but just "enough" and all quite tastefully done.
Another memory I had of Jeff was before I ever met him. A local car club where I live had a “drive-in” movie theater night about 15 years ago and showed American Graffiti if I remember right. The car club is mostly street racers with muscle cars, etc. Jeff showed up to the drive-in driving down from Kansas in the chopped Cadillac. I knew of him and had seen some of his work. I was just surprised to see him show up to some small event put on by a bunch of street racers. I regretted not introducing myself and meeting him then especially after reading some of the comments here.
I was Always amazed at the style and quality of Jeffs work, There was no doubt he would be the one to paint my 52 when its finished. Dude just had an eye for Kool, such a huge loss.. Our prayers are with his family, freinds and club brothers. RIP Jeff Myers, you will be missed !
Jeff was always Cool to my wife and I , he liked that she has a Merc. He’ll be sadly missed for sure.
That`s Jeff Myer`s KKOA Hall of Famer Legend and Jeff Myer`s West Coast Kustoms Hall Of Famer Legend to you folks. Just think about that.
Jeff was a super humble guy who met all as equals. One of the nicest guys I have ever known, met him at The Lone Star Round Up and helped him clean the white wheel wells on his Caddy, he was so appreciative and never forgot my name. A big loss to the industry and his friends and family.
By all descriptions, and by your telling of your friendship Ryan, he was a champion among men and women in this hobby. Condolences to you Ryan, to his many friends and his family. Having spent time in Wichita I know only to well that to be in the race and to be recognized as a leader in this game we play you got ta be the best, and like Mr. 48Chev, I never had the honor of knowing him I can tell by the many posts, he will be missed. Maybe THE MAN has a project car or two he needs built.(saddend for all who morn his loss.)
The family will have a Live Streamed Celebration of Life ceremony at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, December 22, 2020, through the funeral home website www.rindt-erdman.com Please keep the family and friends in your prayers.
