Myron spent his younger years growing up in Sioux Falls. At the age of 18, Myron moved with his mother and siblings to Durango, CO. There he met and married his first wife Leigh Ann Harrison/LeClaire. With this union they had two children: Kyle Roy and Adrian Taylor.

Myron got his apprenticeship as a journeyman electrician in Casper, WY and moved his family to Washington where he lived for ten years.

He married his second wife, Eugenie (aka Jenny) Faller in 2001, with this union they had one son, Sean Ray.

He spent the rest of his remaining years between New Mexico and South Dakota.

Myron will be remembered most for being a great dad, son, brother, nephew, uncle, grandpa and cousin, and mostly his raspy voice, loud laugh and his “don’t mess with me” kind of walk.
