Michael Edward Wyatt

Michael Wyatt, age 55, passed quietly in his sleep at home in the loving care of his wife on September 13, 2020. He was predeceased by his father, Clyde H. Wyatt and his mother, Ione Wyatt. He is survived by his honorary mother, Jane Clemons, his wife Donna, his daughters; Holly, Courtney, Valerie and Danielle, his sons; Michael and Willie, his sons in laws; John and Bradley, his brother, Henry T.R. “Richard” Reather, his nephew Richard Reather, his niece, Shelain Harvey, and three grand nieces and nephews, and his brothers from other mothers; Curtis Willingham and Stevie "Doughbelly" Harcrow, and many grandkids! Michael Edward Wyatt’s life can be described in two words: generous and independent. He lived life on his own terms. Although never blessed with material wealth, Mike counted his wealth in friends. He would always share whatever he had. If anyone ever needed something and he didn’t have it, he would find it for them. He maintained life-long friends. He has been a farmer, cattle rancher, heavy equipment operator, mechanic, truck driver, and many other things. There is nothing that he set his mind to that he could not accomplish. If there was one sure way to get him to do something, it was to tell him he couldn’t. He loved being a shade tree mechanic, and always had at least one project going at any time. He would fix a friend’s vehicle before working on his own. He felt responsible for each of his friends and considered them family.
"You have worked hard your entire life and you will be missed. Go with peace to the rest you deserve."
