For close to 15 years I've tried to look Wyatt up and thank the man who gave me so much. I am so deeply saddened by this news. I wish I could have said so many things. Wyatt tutored and mentored me in my high school years, 5 days a week 2 hours a day and helped me learn so much. I would not be who I am today without him. I was a kid without direction and Wyatt's generosity, selflessness and friendship is something I will never forget for the rest of my life. Sending all my love to Wyatt's family, I wish I could have been there for him like he was there for me.

Heaven has truly gained a beautiful angel, and although our time together was marred by obstacles and hardships, it was always through Wyatt's guidance, perseverance, and dedication to the cause that pulled us through the toughest of times and the most insurmountable of trials. The lessons I've learned from this great, important Wizard will impact me for the rest of my life and shape the type of man that I become. Stay sweet, god speed.

Hi, Don & Marilyn, I just want you to know that I think of you so often. As the time passes, the quiet times bring back all those memories, both good times and sad times. And one can feel so alone, but I hope you know that you are never alone.
Perhaps you know that our longtime Pro here at Polo, Butch Hansen, lost his youngest son, Scott, with the same cause on Jan. 5th. There is no answer to the lingering question of "why?". We must just accept.
Your old buddy, Kathie Harvey

"As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on- in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here. Death ends a life, not a relationship."
I am so sorry for your loss.

Wyatt was and always will be kind, gentle, brilliant, funny, quiet man who will be missed by everyone. My fondest memory is when Wyatt first met me, he guessed my personality standing there with his mom in less than 10 seconds. I Laughed for days! -He was right!

Godspeed Brother.
You will be missed.
