Larry will be remembered as a loving family man who will be missed dearly.  After retirement, he and his wife Pat moved to the Tennessee Mountains and enjoyed many road trips and being in the outdoors.  He was a current member of Gum Stand Baptist Church, and loved to sing and play guitar in his spare time.  His calling also came in the form of singing at local nursing homes to the residents which brought him joy.  He also found happiness feeding his pet squirrel Rufus peanut butter crackers.  

Those left to cherish his memory include his wife Pat Wyatt; his children: Loretta Pilgrim (Nathan), Darrell Wyatt (Kristina), and Ashley Evans; his stepdaughter Tricia Schwartz (Jesse); his siblings: Judy Adams (George), Gail Kirby (Richard), Kathy Garst, and Bob Wyatt; his grandchildren: Matthew Fuller, Brandon Wyatt, Morgan Lynch, Noah Pilgrim, Philip Wyatt, Lexie Pilgrim, Logan McNeely, Savannah Neese, Annabelle Schwartz, and Mae Schwartz; as well as 7 great grandchildren.
