In Memoriam

Since 1934, many have answered the call to serve the citizens of Scott.

We honor those who have come before us and have given so much of themselves.

We appreciate the path they have laid and the lessons they have taught.

They will always be in our thoughts and forever in our hearts.

This page is dedicated to the memories of our recent loved ones that have moved on from this earth.

Officer Ronald “Joey" Myers, Jr. was born November 18, 1969, in Lake Charles, Louisiana. After graduating high school, Officer Myers became a Police Officer at the Port of Lake Charles. Later, Officer Myers began working for the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office, where he obtained the rank of Lieutenant. He would then join Scott Police Department and serve as a Patrol Officer and School Resource Officer at Scott Middle School.

After a long, hard-fought battle with cancer, Joey passed on May 19, 2012. Scott Police Department, along with several additional law enforcement agencies, escorted Joey to his final resting place in Estherwood Cemetary.

When not working, Joey enjoyed playing golf and shooting pool. His greatest joy in life, though, was caring for his family. Joey's love of family, pride in his career, positive thinking, and courageous fight touched and inspired all who knew him. He will be dearly missed and loved forever.
