On December 17, 2003, the Meazells and their beloved dog Spike were enroute to Nacogdoches in their propjet for the Christmas holidays and to attend the SFA graduation of Justin Armonstrong, their oldest grandson. Their plane went down 10 miles outside Daytona Beach, and all aboard died in the accident.
Three days after the accident, the Meazells’ grandson Armstrong graduated from SFA. As a way to honor his grandparents, the 2003 graduate suggested the Meazell family set up the Bill and Muriel Meazell Memorial Scholarship.
The Meazells lived in Nacogdoches for almost 30 years. They had seven children and 11 grandchildren. The couple made friends all over the country through their love of cars, racing and flying.
