Myron Eggman

He was a renaissance man, the man in black, the best smelling man on the planet. He was the most interesting man in the world—truly. Myron Eggman left this world on February 8th, 2017 and is now free. Myron was born in Florence, Arizona on July 17th, 1941 to Arthur R. and Dorthy R. Eggman. He shared his life with all people—none more special to him than Margie, his loving wife of 56 years. One cannot talk of Myron without talking of Margie in the same breath. Their love for each other was an example for everyone. He also left behind a beautiful son, Art Eggman and daughter-in-law, Denise; his granddaughter Cassie, and great grandchildren, Noah and Summer; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Leigh (Irene) MacDougall, Bette (Rich) Shea, Fred (Linda) MacDougall, Mary (Dennis) Goeglein; nephews, nieces and cousins; and many many friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother Dale Eggman; brother-in-law Larry MacDougall; sister-in-law Ann Downs, and nephews Mike Eggman and Kevin Kegle. While some people flow through life—others, like Myron—have life flow through them. Men go through a lifetime dreaming of camping in the mountains, or trapping, or buying a fishing boat and heading out on the high seas. Instead of saying “why” Myron said, “why not?” No regrets. One of his biggest loves was bowling. He carried a 222 average at his peak. Myron bowled at all the different alleys in Tucson including traveling leagues. He and Margie also travelled to nearly all the national events—especially if they involved gambling. The song “Rolling on the river” was always cranked as they crossed the river from Bullhead City, Arizona into Laughlin, Nevada for a weekend of bowling, blackjack, slots and fun. In March of 1991 Myron and Margie made the town of Sunsites their home. Myron opened Stronghold Auto Repair while Margie opened a cafe. The two of them worked together helping the community with their respective talents as mechanic and cook. Myron has helped create many precious memories for the likes of everyone. The fore-mentioned “in-laws” would never consider themselves so—they are surely brothers and sisters and daughters, just as his “friends” are surely family. He was kind and respectful and his sense of humor infectious—not too many men could get away with calling a female judge “sweetheart”. Myron could, and did. He was a lover of creatures, a HUGE animal lover. His little dogs meant the world to him. And if he passed a baby javelina along the roadside that had been hit by a car—guaranteed you would see a tear in his eye. He was a man of unquestioning faith and quietly shared his faith by example. He has always been a guardian, and we expect no less now. There will be a celebration of life held in honor of this man Myron Eggman (known to many as Pops) on Sunday 1-4pm, March 5th, 2017 at the VFW Post 9977 in Sunsites. Please bring a dish if you wish. God speed Myron—we will love you for eternity.
