Obituary of James Alan Meyer

Meyer, James Alan "Ernie" Of Minnetonka, MN passed peacefully on November 10th, 2018 at Lakeview Ranch in Darwin, MN. Jim is preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Carol and his brother, Pat. He is survived by his sons, Andrew (Jill) and Sam; brothers, Tom (Joann), John (Blythe); granddaughter, Ella; several other nieces, nephews, family and dear friends. Jim grew up mostly in Minnesota, with the family making a quick Arizona stop. He attended DeLaSalle and Edina High Schools. After graduating from Edina High School in 1969, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served honorably until 1972 as a member. Upon his return to the mainland he began the family owned printing business with his father and brother Tom, called Meyer Offset Printing. Within a couple years, he married Lynn and started a family. Ernie had a profound passion for hunting, fishing and gardening, this resulted in his friends and family always wanting more of his homemade zucchini bread, smoked salmon/turkey, spicy pickles and pickled northern. Jim was a great father and beloved friend to many. So many people were lucky to call him a friend and a man of his word. He was willing to help others out at any time, by fixing something or lending his hands. He was an active dad with his sons sports and loved being on the field as a coach or scorekeeper. There are so many attributes of this man, that he will be greatly missed.
