Wyatt Gordon

He misses jumping on his grand paw paw's lap.

I recently heard about Wyatt and am so sad for our loss. I got to know my grandfather's brother more since I was an adult and always enjoyed a conversation with him! (He was even kind enough to come out to some of my art shows/talks.) What a good man... my prayers are with the family.

My memories of Uncle Wyatt are special. My father was his older brother and our two families spent many wonderful times together. Uncle Wyatt always shared his time with the children as well as the adults. He was a caring and understanding soul that took time to explain new adventures, whether how to play pool, make ice cream or build a play toy. Nearly a decade ago when we moved to a new home Uncle Wyatt gave us a butterfly bush from their lake home garden. That bush has spread over both...

I will miss the trips to "Camp Gordon". I won't forget the daily feeding of the ducks and catfish at the lake. The day was always ended with a ice cream sandwich on the porch. Paw-Paw gave me the encouragement to know that I can do anything that I put my mind to doing. The memories of him bring much joy to my life.

To everyone: Dad looked peaceful tonight at the funeral home. There was a picture of Dad & his two brothers, Jim & Richard when they were real young & another picture of the 3 brothers when they were in their military uniforms. I want to THANK everyone that signs the guest book online.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My father loved to tell the story of how his brother, my Uncle Wyatt, asked him to name me after him when I was born. My father told him, "I couldn't do that to him, Junior." Whenever he told this story, my father would laugh and then say that's why my middle name is "Albert."

We love you Paw-Paw!

I am Uncle Wyatt's niece, Cindy, elder daughter of his younger brother Richard. I was sorry to hear of Uncle Wyatt's passing Monday but as I told Mike, after being greeted by his Savior, Jesus Christ, Uncle Wyatt was able to see Dad for the first time in 10 years. Like Lynn I can say that he and Randy (Du-Babe as he was known way back then) taught me how to water ski. I'm sorry not to be able to join the family Wed and Thursday but know that Nancy (my mother), Leonard (my husband), and I...
