I remember this man being very kind to me from the young age of 9. I was a new swimmer and he was always supportive when he would time me at the Sanger Community Center pool. His daughter, Kellie, would be one of my most amazing friends. Love you all, sorry for your loss.

Even tho Sandy was a 3rd cousin, I considered him as a 1st cousin. God blessed him with many gifts but 2 stand out for me. The first gift was that he "LISTENED" to you. And when it was the right moment, he gave you pearls of wisdom and if you were low in spirits in just a few minutes, he had you laughing so hard that you had forgotten all about your troubles. The other gift was that of "STORYTELLING". Sandy would take you on adventures and you never had to leave your seat. He truly was a gift to us all! Your now in God's hands Sandy and you will be missed greatly. Our sympathy to all the families!

I was saddened to hear of Wyman's "Sandy" passing. He was a kind man, classmate at Ceres High School and a fun cousin in the Mosier/Brush tribe. I remember him with a smile on his face and as someone you always hoped to see at family reunions to share humorous memories. Rest in Peace Sandy
