Myron was known for his smile and ability to make others laugh. He loved the outdoors, going on walks and car rides, and sitting in his swing on the porch. He enjoyed singing and attending church. His favorite songs were Joy to the World and Jesus Loves Me. His free time was spent watching old television shows, The Price is Right, and Twins baseball. Apple pie, Diet Coke, chocolate chip cookies, and Kentucky Fried Chicken were his favorite foods. He gave the best hugs and loved his family visits.
He is survived by his sister, Lois (Craig) Schulstad of Horace, ND. Also surviving him are his housemates, friends and staff at Options, Inc. and his Comprehensive Services, Inc. family. He was preceded in death by his father, Robert in 2000; and his mother, Marcella in 2006.
