Brandon D. "Bubba" Meyers

Cpl. Brandon David Meyers, USMC, age 25, a true American hero, left our world too soon on June 28, 2013. He was born April 8, 1988 in Joliet, IL.

We welcomed Brandon home November 14, 2010 and now its time to pray God will take care of him.

Brandon is survived by his devoted parents, David and Wendy Meyers of Plainfield, IL; his loving sister, Tiffany Meyers of Plainfield, IL; his grandparents, George and Shirley Ketchmark of Homer Glen, IL; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Bubba was a 2006 graduate of Plainfield Central High School. He joined the US Marine Corps right away and after completing basic training he served two tours in Iraq. Bubba spent countless hours working on cars with his dad, and was currently restoring his '68 Chevelle. He also loved spending time riding his Yamaha motorcycle and enjoying the many freedoms in life that he fought to preserve for all Americans. He always enjoyed spending time with his sister, whether they were shooting pool, kayaking or just talking about what was going on in each other's lives. Most of all Bubba was a true friend. He possessed a heart of gold and generously gave anything he had to someone who needed it more than he did. He was proud of who he was, who he became and proud of the years he gave to his country.
