Clyde “Bud” Wyatt Jr. passed away on Friday, March 8, 2019 at the Redbud Village in Plainville, Kansas at the age of 86. He was born on June 11, 1932 in Dawson Springs, Kentucky to the late Clyde Sr. and Olivia (Hauptman) Wyatt. Bud received his G.E.D. in 1951 then joined the United States Navy and served for 20 years until his retirement in 1971. Bud united in marriage to Bonnie (Gosser) Wyatt on September 3, 1958 in Waukegan, Illinois and was blessed with two children, Dylan and Darci.

Bud was a former member of the VFW of Plainville and an active member of the Peace Lutheran Church in Natoma. He enjoyed greeting fellow members of the church on Sunday mornings. Since his move to Codell with Bonnie and his children in 1971, he took pride in the landscaping and made sure the town was always mowed. Bud enjoyed sports and loved to play basketball and was a talented and avid bowler. He was very close to his Schnauzers Bubba 1 and Bubba 2 and ended his days with a plush Schnauzer lovingly named Bubba 3.
A hardworking and humble man of faith, hope, and love, Bud showed us all by example that the greatest of these is love. Although he will be greatly missed, he will live forever in the hearts of those who knew him.

Bud is survived by his wife Bonnie Wyatt and children Dylan Wyatt of Codell, KS and Darci Wyatt of Plainville, KS; 6 grandchildren Jeremy Montgomery, Casey Montgomery, Aaron Wyatt, Caleb Wyatt and wife Naomi, Kelsey Wyatt, and Kristen Wyatt; 11 great-grandchildren Kaytlynn, Rowen, Brevyn, Haezin, Harley, Kindra, Khloe, Chasey, Braylon, Dalton, and Jaykob.

Preceding Bud in death are his parents, Clyde Sr. and Olivia Wyatt and sisters Agnes Stevens, Frances Wyatt, Clyda Boucher, and Bonnie Robbens.
