At Gonzaga, he played on the football, soccer and wrestling teams. He also was active in the Support Builds Strength group.
He was an Eagle Scout from Boy Scout Troop 52, and while in high school, he worked on the Spirit of Washington cruise line, earning his captain’s license in 1996. He attended the College of Charleston and joined the Marines in 1997.
Survivors include his parents, Patricia W. and John A. Myler, and sisters Caitlin and Brigid Myler, all of Washington; a brother, Marine Lieutenant Devin Myler of Pensacola, Florida; and his grandmother, Evelyn Rose Myler of West St. Paul, Minnesota.
