John Philip Myer, a 32 year resident of Churchton, MD and previously of Edgewater, MD passed away on Wednesday, January 26 at home surrounded by family after a 20 month fight with pancreatic cancer.  Also known as Phil, Pop and Philip (only allowed by a select few) he was born on February 27, 1956 in Cheverly, MD to Sally Jane and the late Walter L. Myer.
