You have my most sincere sympathy. Hold on to your Memories.
Our condolences to the family of Mr. Wyatt Sr. I’ve worked with Mr. Wyatt years ago on UT campus. Mr. Wyatt was a good manager and a great man. He always had a positive word to say to you. Mrs. Keita Wyatt and family, you all are in our thoughts and prayers.
My sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Wyatt’s for your loss. I am praying for comfort and strength. I worked for Mr. Wyatt for many years as I began my career at UT. He was not only my manager, he was my friend. He instilled in me self confidence, hard work, dependability, and trust. Her once told me with these traits, you will be successful. I retired from UT after 38 years of service, him retiring before me. I will never forget his wisdom, hard work, love and friendship. May you Rest in Peace Mr. wyatt.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you in your time of loss. We pray for the comfort and peace that can only come from above.
Such a kind, humble spirit. It was our honor to know Bro. Wyatt. We pray comfort over his family at this time. May you find peace in the memories you made and shared with him.
To the family, we extend our condolences. Keira always remember all precious memories when your heart is heavy. We will continue to pray and lift the family up in prayer.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Wyatt through my friend and his daughter, Renee. He was so refined, dignified, and very obviously a very good father. At Renee’s, I had the opportunity of tasting his cooking. I am glad I got to meet him and I have to say, that man could cook! I am so sorry for your loss. I know you all will really miss him.
To the Wyatt Family:
In this time of sadness, may the Lord lead you to a place of peace as you celebrate the life of your beloved ‘Davo”.
We extend our Deepest Sympathy to all.
Blessings to you all sorry I couldn’t make it to the Service but The Lord be with you all as you go through this time of grief Pastor and Rev Sadie Darden
