In loving memorial of James E. WyattIt is with a heavy heart that I share the news of my beloved husband, Jim Wyatt’s, passing. He passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 6th, following a short illness. This loss leaves an immeasurable void in our lives.
Jim’s life was a testament to his deep faith, unwavering kindness, and boundless love. He was a devoted husband, a cherished father and grandfather, and a loyal friend to many. His gentle spirit and generous heart touched countless lives. A steadfast member of the First Baptist Church of Kenova, he dedicated his time and energy to serving others, quietly and without seeking recognition. His dedication to his faith and community was truly inspiring.
While we mourn his absence, we find solace in remembering the beautiful life he lived. Jim’s request was to forgo a formal memorial service. Instead, he wished for a living memorial: a butterfly garden at our home. This space will serve as a tranquil sanctuary where we can gather to celebrate his memory and reflect on his life, surrounded by the beauty of nature, something he deeply cherished.
We would be deeply grateful for your thoughts, prayers, and support during this difficult time. Your calls, cards, and visits are a source of comfort. If you wish to honor Jim’s memory, you may choose to contribute to the creation of his butterfly garden; a project that reflects his love for God’s creation. Any contribution, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated and will help us create a lasting tribute to him.
The words of 2 Timothy 4:7-8 resonate deeply with us now: “I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of life, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on the day of his coming—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” Jim’s faith, his strength, and his love will forever remain in our hearts.

I always admired Jim’s walk with the Lord. His faith was great and defined who he was. Today his faith is sight and defines what he lived for.
May the Lord comfort you in these coming days. You will be in my prayers.
