James Edward Myers, of Coatesville, PA, passed away early Sunday morning, November 19, 2023. He was 81 years old.

Tick, as he was affectionately known, was one of seven children born to the late Jenny (Brown) Myers and Wiliam Myers, Sr.

Tick worked at the former Lukens Steel Company in Coatesville for many years. He enjoyed watching sports. He was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan. He enjoyed listening to oldies music and socializing with friends and his grandchildren.  He could tell a joke or two and had an upbeat personality. He occasionally would stir up trouble or agitate you just to keep things going, but meant no harm. And he could cook some stuffed chicken wings.

Tick leaves treasured memories to his son Matthew "Matt" F. Myers, Sr., of Coatesville; three sisters, Marian Myers, Barbara "Bobbi" Myers, and Charlotte Myers, all of Coatesville; one brother, Babatu Rudo "Fred Myers" of Ghana, Africa; step-son, George Harris of Coatesville; four grandchildren, Matthew Myers, Jr., Damon Myers, Renada Myers, and Gamond Harris; 8 great-grandchildren, and many other nephews, nieces, cousins and friends.

He was preceded in death by two daughters, Christa Harris, and Barbara Myers; sister, Zelder Hyden, and brother, William Myers, Jr.
