William Edward "Bill" Wyatt, Sr.

Mr. William Edward “Bill” Wyatt, Sr., age 78, of Patrick Springs, Virginia, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday, January 16, 2025 at his home. He was born in Smyth County, Virginia on November 17, 1946, to the late Ira Bane Wyatt and Maude Evans Wyatt. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 57 years, Mary Helen Mitchell Wyatt; one son, William Edward Wyatt, Jr.; one great-granddaughter, Sadie Lou Paige Cassell; four sisters, Patsy Branson, Susie Armstrong, Janie Gillespie, Peggy Wyatt; two brothers, Joseph “Joe” Wyatt, Sr. and Richard Wyatt. Mr. Wyatt was a member of New Beginnings Baptist Church and retired as a supervisor from Fieldcrest Mills. Bill was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend to all who knew him. Bill had a strong faith, was so tough, yet had the most gentle spirit about him. He had a passion for horses and horseback riding. He will be sorely missed by many, especially his family, but we know he is at home in Heaven reunited with his precious wife, Mary. Bill will be remembered as a good man who was willing to help anyone, but most of all, he will be remembered for his love, kindness and gentle spirit.
