What a delight it was to have known Kenny through the years. He always had a ready laugh...or could always make us laugh, no matter the situation, and no matter how much time had passed between visits. Kenny, you will be greatly missed. Dear God, please comfort and bless the Wyatt family in the days ahead.

Kenny, over the last 40 years I've spent almost as much time with you as my wife. We've worked, played, fished and hunted together, laughed, been mad together and at each other, but that's what brothers do. The world was a better place with you in it, and now Heaven will be, too. We'll miss you greatly.
