Wyatt “Y-IT” Smith

Wyatt Dalton Smith

December 20, 1994 – November 9, 2025

Wyatt Dalton Smith, 30, passed away suddenly on November 9, 2025. He left this world surrounded by his family and wrapped in the same love he gave to everyone around him. Born on December 20, 1994, Wyatt lived with a huge imagination, a kind heart, and a way of making people feel like they mattered.

Since he was little, Wyatt found joy in the simple things. Toys were never just toys to him. They were comfort and connection. He loved collecting them with his family, and that spark never went away. As he got older, that love turned into creating. He could spend hours with his 3-D printer or laser engraver, putting his ideas together piece by piece. Everything he made had thought, care, and a little bit of his personality in it.

Music was another big part of who Wyatt was. He sang with so much heart and played guitar like it came naturally to him. He once had a stage in the backyard because he loved performing and sharing that joy. From Disney songs when he was small to school talent shows that brought crowds to their feet, Wyatt always had a way of shining. He made people stop and listen. He made people feel good.

More than anything, Wyatt was a good friend. The kind of friend you could count on without thinking twice. If someone needed him, he showed up. If someone called, he answered. He had a way of making people feel supported and never alone. That is something his friends will always remember.

Wyatt is survived by his parents, Kerriann and Gary Smith. He is also survived by his sister, Jamie, his grandmother Cathy Smith Brooks, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends who loved him deeply.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Joseph "Papa Joe" Brooks, and his maternal grandparents, Randy "Pops" and Lula "Nangs" Wilson.

Wyatt filled his world with joy, creativity, music, and heart. He made life lighter for so many people, and his memory will stay with us forever.

As we say goodbye for now, we carry his love forward. And we hold close the words that meant so much to him:

You've got a friend in me.
