Dusty Meyer
Chilton WI
Gordon “Dusty” Meyer, age 74, of Chilton, passed away at his home on September 8, 2025, surrounded by his wife and his children. He was born March 3, 1951, son of the late Gordon and Evelyn Meyer. He met Nancy Gruett in 1970 and they were married in 1973.
Dusty led by example and never made an enemy on this earth. His faith and service to community were shown through his time spent away from his work and family. He was a Grand Knight in the Knights of Columbus, a firefighter for over 30 years in the Chilton Fire Department, reaching the rank of Captain, and a member of the Fraternal Order of the Eagles. He enjoyed bowling, playing cards, and he was a huge Packers fan.
Dusty is survived by his wife of over 50 years, Nancy; his children: Melissa Meyer and Chad Meyer; grandchildren: Averi Meyer (Special Friend, Marq Barton), Patrick Noelke, Ashlyn Jennings, and Aydrie Jennings; a great-grandchild: Lilly Mae Behnke; a sister: Barb Meyer; and a brother-in-law: Ronald (Margie) Gruett.
Dusty was preceded in death by his parents, Gordon and Evelyn; his biological mother: Libby Harden; siblings: Jess (Joyce) Meyer, Sondra (Pat) Metoxen, and Donna Weigert; Nancy's parents: Leslie and Irma Gruett; and a sister-in-law: Linda Gruett.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 5:30 pm on Friday, September 12, 2025, at Good Shepherd Catholic Church (54 E. Main St.) in Chilton. Friends may call from 2:00 pm until 5:15 pm at the church on the day of service.
In lieu of flowers a memorial fund has been established in the name of Dusty Meyer.
The family would like to give a special thank you to Calumet County hospice, especially Michelle Klotz; and Keith and Tammy Woelfel for their help and unwavering friendship.

Dusty was a truly special person. I had the privilege of getting to know him over the last years of his incredible life, and will always remember him fondly, in the memories we made together and going forward alongside his incredible family. The world was a brighter place with Dusty in it, and now a dimmer place with him gone from it. Rest easy Dusty.
