Paul Henry Wyatt, 79, passed away peacefully on October 4, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia.

Born in Crossville, Tennessee, Paul was the son of Daisy and Woody Wyatt. After graduating from high school, he honorably served in the United States Navy. His adventurous spirit then led him into a successful modeling career that took him throughout Europe and across the United States.

Paul later pursued his passion for the law, earning his degree from the University of Maryland. He went on to build a respected legal practice in Atlanta, where he served his clients with dedication, integrity, and sharp wit. In 2020, he retired to Florida, embracing a slower pace and enjoying the warmth and water he loved. After a hurricane struck the Fort Myers area, he returned to Atlanta-an unexpected blessing that allowed him to spend time with his daughter, cheering her on at soccer games and sharing plates of buffalo wings or going to El Azetca. These weekly traditions became some of his most cherished moments.

Paul had a vibrant personality-fun, spontaneous, and a little spicy. He found joy in being on the water, savoring good Mexican food, and cheering from the sidelines as his kids played soccer. Above all, he cherished his family.

He is survived by his daughter, Meghan Wyatt, his son Paul Henry Wyatt, Jr., and his beloved grandson, Noah. He was preceded in death by his daughter Emily Jewel Wyatt, his parents, and all of his brothers and sisters.

A burial service will be held on November 29, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at 68 Woody Cemetery, Crossville, TN 38571.

Paul's memory lives on in the stories he told, the laughter he shared, and the love he gave so freely.
