I met Wyatt at a small bar in Rota about a year and a half ago. I was only visiting a friend for about 2 weeks, but we frequented this bar and talked to him and his friends just about every time. We bonded over both being from Arkansas yet meeting across the world. My friends and I loved Wyatt. He was so kind, so funny, and so fun to be around. We talk about our trip there often and the people we met, and he is always a happy memory. It saddens all of us to hear about his sudden passing. My heart is with his family and friends. He was not one to be forgotten. May he rest in peace.
I believe I was on the plane that carried this dear sailor to Tulsa last Friday. I was amazed at the space and time every passenger gave to the undertaking once we were at the gate. The honor and respect were palpable. I hope I did not violate the family’s display of affection as I was moved to take a few photos. Please let me know if it would be appropriate to share them.
Deepest condolences as it is obvious that this young man was deeply loved and admired.
