So sorry Tracy and Phil. My heart and Prayers go out to you and your Family and to Wyatts girlfriend and unborn child.
Everytime Wyatt came over, he’d grab my guitar and play me a few songs. The one he played the most was ‘Every rose had its thorn’. I couldn’t help but stare at him. He seemed so comfortable singing and playing in front of me. Miss you so much Wyatt’s ?
Wyatt u were a loving true redneck country boy! Thanks for allowing me to be a mother figure to you. I will always love you! xoxo R.I.P. Mama Cindy
Was a great boy. I will miss him. I remember when he and his family lived next door. He was 8 yr old such a sweet boy.
Rip Wyatt. God will take care of u now
Wyatt was such an amazing kid! I got to know him when he spent some time in Lebanon. He will forever be missed and the place he has in my heart will never be occupied by another student. You had such a sweet nature and was always offering to help me out in the office, I know that was never in an attempt to get out of class, it was just the kind of kid you were. Rest in peace Wyatt!!! ? Mrs. Markins
I had the honor of knowing Wyatt for a short time in his life. He was an amazing person with incredible potential. He was kind, intelligent, humorous, and caring…attributes seldom seen in one so young. There are many significantly saddened and impacted by his loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family at this time. Remember Wyatt will always be with you, watching over you from above. God Bless you all. Love from your cousin Brenda in New York

In memory of a fun loving person, Wyatt
when he tried to run me over with his car. he would blare the horn and flip me off every time he pulled up. when I told him the reason his jeep was broke down was because it was a jeep lol you should have seen the look on his face. then from that moment on he would give me hell about my car. the light in his eyes when he told me he was going to be a daddy. . .
Wyatt came over one day to say hi and see the kids. We were all being silly, and put a bunch of pillows under my 4 yr. old’ s shirt, to make her really big. She was dancing and rolling around on the floor. Everytime she would try to get back up, Wyatt would push her back down and tickle her. We were all laughing uncontrollably. I still have that fun memory on video on my phone….Wyatt was a good friend to my family. He was a sweet guy with a beautiful, infectious smile, and a big heart……rest in peace Wyatt. We love you
This isn’t goodbye, it is until we meet again. With all our love bubby, you will truly be missed! -The Kelly Family
Wyatt was in my first grade class at Waverly. He was a cute little guy with a BIG smile! He was smart, funny, mischievous ( in a good way), and often the class clown!!! :)He had a BIG personality in that little body! He was always chosen for a lead roles in our first grade plays bc he just had that little sparkle to him that made him a good performer!!! Everyone loved him – students and teachers alike!!! The role I most remember him in was as the Gingerbread Boy in our Christmas play!!! I made a full body gingerbread suit for him and he was the cutest thing EVER!!! After that year, whenever I did the play with future classes I always had to find another LITTLE student (bc Wyatt was a small first grader) to fit into Wyattts costume!!! I am retired now but still have Wyatt’s gingerbread costume hanging in my closet – if only we still had Wyatt.:/. A few years ago I ran into Audrey and Wyatt at a festival and he was the same cute kid with the infectious smile!!! He hugged me and talked for a long time. Some kids shy away from running into their former teachers but Wyatt sought me out to say hi and talk. My heart aches for a boy who had SO MUCH potential and whose life was cut short. Wyatt, your BIG heart and SWEET smile will be missed! Love Forever, Pam Jones
wyatt you will be so missed we love you very much….now you can be with the rest of god’s angels….we love you
To Tracy and Audree, Wyatt and Frederic were good friends growing up and we loved having him over to our house and him going on church trips. Wyatt always cracked me up with his sense of humor. Wyatt had came to Frederic’s birthday party one time at the hotel and someone said, what do you want to do and Wyatt said ‘lets paint our nails and talk about our feelings’. I thought I was going to pee my pants I laughed so hard. It was a joy knowing him and he will be missed. We are so very sorry for your loss. In Jesus’ name, Tony, Deb and Frederic Basso
I’ll never forget how Wyatt when he was about 8, he used to like to be tied up so that he could try to escape. As I got better at it one day he couldn’t get out. He asked me to let him out. Of course I thought that wouldn’t be funny at all so I went outside to shoot hoops. A few moments later he started jumping out of the garage bound with belts as some Jehovah’s Witnesses were coming up the driveway and they just turned around and we were busting up laughing. ‘Good Times’, Love you bro
Tracy and Phil, so sorry for your loss, can’t begin to know what you are going though. Prayers are with you. Just take care. If you need anything, let me know. Marsha Depinet
