So sorry to hear of the loss of Jimmy, I remember him when I was growing up. His dad would always give us candy when we came to visit Grandpaw and Grandma Wyatt. Radar & Beaula. Everyone love him. He was a good Christian man. We pray for peace and comfort to you all. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
Our sincere sympathy to the Wyatt Family in the passing of Mr. Wyatt. We both had him as our chemistry teacher. He touched many lives.

Sue, our deepest sympathy on your loss. Jim was a childhood friend and I will always miss him. Love to you and your boys. I have you in my prayers
To be so fondly remembered as Jim is a great legacy and comforting to the family. I'm glad that I too have known him. My prayer is that your sorrow and pain be brief and replaced with the many great memories that will change your tears into a smile. Jim's humor always made you smile.
Sue, our prayers are with you all.
We'll miss Jim. He was a great cousin.
I always enjoyed seeing him at the reunions.
Mr. Wyatt taught all of my science and chemistry courses at Pleasant Plains. He was only about 10 years older than his senior students so he was our "cool teacher". He was also our senior class sponsor. Most importantly he was the great example of honor and family and influenced so many students to further their education. He is remembered fondly. Prayers for the family.
Mr. Wyatt was my teacher for 10th grade biology and 12th grade chemistry. He stimulated my interest in science. Because of his excellent teaching and inspiration, I pursued a scientific career and became a university professor. I am currently Professor of Agronomy at Kansas State University. Thank you, Mr. Wyatt. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
My thoughts and prayers go out to your family in this time of loss. I have nothing but fond memories of my time as one of his students. He always made the class interesting and fun, while also teaching good life lessons.
So many memories, One of my favorite teachers..Sue your family is in my thoughts and prays..
Thinking of the Wyatt family during your loss. I have very fond memories of seeing cousin Jimmy when I was a young kid running around Rosie. He was always good to me and showed me attention that not all "grownups" show to kids. He was a good one and will be missed. Prayers to you all.
