In Memoriam: William Stanley Myers ’58

Dr. William Stanley (Stan) Myers, Sr. ‘58

Dr. William Stanley Myers passed away on Friday, May 8, 2015. He was surrounded by the family he loved so well when he left this life.

Stan was born on September 4, 1936 in Memphis, Tennessee. While still a teenager, Stan delivered newspapers in Baptist hospital every morning before attending school in order to help support his mother, brother, and sister. It was a pattern throughout his life; working hard in order to give to others. The kindness and encouragement of doctors at the hospital spurred his interest in medicine. He attended Southwestern (Rhodes College) and then UT Memphis for medical school.
