I've always wanted to quit my job but do not know when is a good time.
And now my two predecessors have tendered their resignation, then this post will be just me and the executive. It seems even more unsuitable to tender my resignation.
what type of work do you do? definitely, have something lined up before you do so if you need that check. if this is not an issue for you and you're not happy, just do it.

You can't worry about what other's have done. If you feel you are better off elsewhere, find a job and quit this one. It's business, not personal.
Don't worry about the timing. Worry about yourself. If you have a job lined up and ready to quit, do so. They'll survive. Think about it this way, you are opening up a job for someone else in need.
I will suggest to at least provide two week notice just to show you did what you have to do. Leave the company at good term because you never know you might return to the same company or not in the future. Yes, you might hate it to your gut now, and very unlikely to have you return back to the same company, but is always better to be safe than to be sorry.
Before you provide that two weeks notice, make sure you are ready for the next job. If you don't have a job right away, at least have a sense of how long it will take you to land another job because you might not be able to support yourself or your family if you go down the road for too long without a job.
Unless the "executive" is a personal friend, why are you at all worried about leaving him with nobody?
If you have another job ready to go and feel it is a good career move, then tender your resignation and move on. The "Executive" may be in a pinch, but he can call a temp agency to get some bodies into seats today, and there is no shortage of job hunters for him to start interviewing for permanent replacements either.
He will be ok. Worry about doing whats best for you.
I cant speak for the OP's current situation but 9 out of 10 employers, they will fire you if the circumstances calls for it without a blink of an eye. Only thing we can do is abide by the company policies in regards to terminating employment. For example, when I signed up for my current employer, I have signed a document requiring that I will give 2 weeks notices. As someone already mentioned, its not personal. It's business.
