I met Wyatt through a friend and I did not know him long or even that well, but for the time I did know him he was very sweet and kind. I know he was loved very much and he will be missed dearly. I wish peace and love to those around him and hope that healing comes your way.
Thinking about you all here in Nova Scotia, Canada. Sending our love and strength. Wyatt, you will be missed by all who were blessed to have had you in their lives.
I went to high school with Wyatt. I was a grade above him. He always brought a smile to anyone’s face and was always happy. Although I didn’t know him well, he was a really amazing person. I’m very sorry for the loss.
Wyatt was a great friend of mine. Knew him since Junior High. He loved everyone and would
do anything to help someone in need. Always was sort of a comedian. Was no stranger to make people laugh. Was very sweet and thoughtful to my parents during track season. He was very motivating and not only to himself, but strived to make other people better. He will forever be a brother to me and will always have a special place in my heart. My deepest condolences to his family.
My friend, my little brother and one of the greatest humans I’ve ever been lucky enough to know and call my friend and my family. I can’t believe I have to say goodbye till we meet again. You should still be here spreading your amazing love for people and life. I wish I could trade you places because of how amazing of a young man you are. I will see you again my friend. RIP my brother
Wyatt was more than just a man I met at college. He became a brother fairly quick. Making sure I had everything I needed and to be held responsible. I met him through the Texas Pi Chapter of Phi Delta Theta at Sam Houston State University. And I can only pray to be half the man he was. There wasn’t a face that didn’t know Wyatt. He sure was raised right and left his mark on the world. Until we meet again brother, rest easy. I am truly sorry for the loss.
Prayers for you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. We are here if you need anything, even if it is only to listen. We are always here for you anytime.
I first met Wyatt at a solar project…. At first I didn’t really know him too well. We had a few talks about our previous jobs that we had.
Later within time he ended up working under me as a crew lead and he was pretty damn good. He worked with me for quite a while…7 months I believe but within those 7 months we became closer to where I was able to trust him and call him a friend. Wyatt always had great work ethic and was able to adapt quickly. He was my go to guy when I need that extra muscle hed be the one I call. Always willing to learn and adapt. I had him learning spanish since 90% of our co-workers were spanish speaking. Haha boy did he struggle but he did know alot of curse words haha funny ones too…. Wyatt had a great sense of humor…. He was more than just a co-worker… He was my friend and I will forever remember him. Rest In Paradise brother
