The family of Randy E. Wyatt, of Manhattan, Kansas is saddened to announce his passing on Sunday, January 8, 2023, at the age of 60.
He was born January 12, 1962, in Lincoln, Nebraska, the son of George and Lilly Wyatt. He graduated from Manhattan High School in 1980. After graduation, he completed his Associate Degree at Manhattan Area Vocational Technical School. Randy then began his career as an autobody technician at Jack’s body shop and went on to dedicate 40 years to his field. During that time, he forged lifelong friendships in every body shop that he worked in.
He met the love of his life, Sandy Wyatt, in Manhattan, Kansas the fall of 1995 on a blind date. On October 26, 1999, they were married on a beach in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Together Randy and Sandy raised three children, Michael, Ashley, and Cassondra.
His true passion was spending time with his parents, siblings, wife, children, and grandchildren. He was a true creator with an unparalleled ability to make things, he could take pieces of anything and turn them into something beautiful. Randy was blessed with the gift of leaving all things better than he found them.
Randy could engage in conversation with anyone, if you needed sound advice, he always seemed to have it, or if he needed to just sit and listen, he would. His love for his family was the driving force for his whole being here on this earth. He was not only an inspiration but was also irreplaceable to everyone that knew him.
He is survived by his wife Sandy, and three children: Michael Wyatt, Ashley Behney and her husband (Derek), Cassondra Sharpe and her husband (Tyler).
