He graduated from Dayton High School in 1971 then began his lifelong passion of farming. Myron was often seen driving farm equipment to school instead of a pickup. After his parents retired in Arizona he spent winters harvesting cotton and delivering propane to snow birds. In 1982 family friends introduced Myron to his future wife Sharon Hulstein of Sheldon, Iowa. Theymarried on March 19, 1983 and later had three children. He was a board member of the Marionberry Association and attended Unionville and Hopewell Community Church. His love for farming was seen in every crop he tended although Marionberries were his favorite. He could talk anyone into getting a fresh crate of berries during harvest. Myron was proud of what he grew but loved his berries because he could see people enjoying them. Myron greatly cherished his time with his family, especially trips to the Oregon Coast and coffee with the guys. He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Sharon; three children and their spouses, Stacy and Tim Klein of McMinnville; Kristi and Eric Amerson of McMinnville; Jeffrey and Shelly Nichols of Amity; two adorable grandchildren Jacob Klein and Zoey Amerson; and relatives and friends.
