Charles Myers Obituary
Charles "Chic" Myers
December 18, 1945
February 21, 2022
On February 21, 2022, LTC Charles (Chic) Myers, Ret, loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, friend and soldier went to his Savior at the age of 77. Born in Greensboro, NC, December 18, 1945, he was the youngest of 3 children. After high school and earning his Eagle Scout Award, he entered the military.
Chic was commissioned 2d Lieutenant in the United States Army on November 7, 1967 and retired from the Army February 2, 1992. He completed two combat tours in Vietnam and commanded a battalion in the First Infantry Division in Desert Storm. He truly loved serving with the countless soldiers and civilians here and abroad and continued with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) in his very active retirement.
He received his bachelor's degree in Business from the University of Nebraska and Masters in Business Administration from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. He delivered the commencement address at Embry Riddle in 2016.
He was a pilot and started two companies, Integrity Air, llc and Executive Aviation Services, llc providing business aviation services to companies in the Southwest. He was selected to serve on the Colorado Springs Airport Commission and the Colorado Aeronautics Board, division of CDOT.
Chic is survived by his wife Carolyn. Together they adopted seven children from around the world and gave them the Myers family name, United States citizenship and the opportunity for a new life in America.
After a life of service and devotion to God, his family and his country, Chic will be interned at the Pikes Peak National Cemetery in Colorado Springs. Memorial services with honors will be held at a date to be determined.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Gary Sinise Foundation (garysinisefoundation.org) which offers support and services to active military, veterans, first responders and their families.

My deepest sympathies go to the Myers family. I trust you will be sustained in your loss by many many wonderful memories. I knew Chic a long time ago through Young Life. I admired his strong Christian faith and I know he is with his Lord and Savior now. I would like to know about his memorial service please.

Chic Myers was my mentor. He was a wonderful guy who was always willing to spend time with me and share his experiences and wisdom. It is very very sad that he has left us. Although I'm sure God has a new buddy. He will be deeply missed and the aviation community, as well as his family, will feel a loss. He loved his family and he loved aviation. I will miss him sorely. Rest in Peace my good friend, May God Bless you and keep you and may your family be blessed with God's Grace and comfort.

Chic put a lot of effort into the early development of the Colorado Springs Business Park and the National Museum of World War II Aviation. He is remembered as a hard-working veteran focused on aviation and the Colorado Springs community. A strong family man who cared for those around him. You are missed.

Chic was a wonderful friend and a great American. A true patriot in every sense of the word. He was a wonderful husband, father, and soldier. I will always cherish our time together. May he rest in peace and my condolences and sympathies go out to Carolyn and their entire family.
