Wyatt Berry

On Friday, June 11, 2021, Wyatt Gene Berry left his earthly home to be with Jesus.

Wyatt was born Aug. 29, 2003, to Lindsay and Dean Berry, who survive. He is also survived by two sisters, Zoe and Addie, who reside in the home.

Wyatt was blessed with the love of a large family, including several aunts, uncles and cousins.

He was also survived by maternal grandparents, Richard Baer (Patsy Lucky) of Old Appleton, Donna Thompson (Robert Mitchell) of Oak Ridge and Kerry Thompson of Cape Girardeau.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Doris Berry.

Wyatt declared his love for Jesus at an early age and was baptized at Caney Fork Baptist Church, where he was a member.

He was a true country boy at heart. He loved hunting, fishing and spending time with his friends in the great outdoors.

Wyatt was employed part-time at Voges Farms and Paving Pros. He also spent a lot of time helping his Grandpa Baer on the farm.

He was looking forward to his senior year of high school at Oak Ridge, where he played baseball and was a member of FFA.

Wyatt's sweet, gentle spirit will long be remembered by those who knew him. He spoke softly and treated everyone he met with kindness and respect.

If you wish to honor Wyatt, the family asks that you love others with all your heart and be kind.

Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. today and 8 to 10 a.m. Wednesday before the funeral service at Oak Ridge High School new gymnasium.

Funeral will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday at the gymnasium.

Memorial contributions may be given to the Wyatt Berry Memorial Fund at the First Midwest Bank in Cape Girardeau or Jackson in care of Whitney McFall and Heather Short.
