Dennis Wayne Wyatt

April 7, 1942 – October 4, 2022

Dennis Wayne Wyatt, 80, Noblesville, passed away peacefully at home and went to be with his Lord and Savior on October 4, 2022. He was born in Middlesboro, Ky., on April 7, 1942, to parents, John D. & Edith M. (Williams) Wyatt.

On November 21, 1962, Dennis married his lifelong sweetheart Rebecca J. (Fulton) Wyatt. Dennis and Becky would have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary this year.

Dennis was a graduate of Noblesville High School, class of 1960. After graduation, he joined the U.S. Air Force where he served as part of the Strategic Air Command from 1960 to 1964. Upon leaving the Air Force he moved back to Noblesville where he began his career with Firestone Industrial Rubber Products where he worked as a supervisor until he retired in 1992. Dennis then took a position with Noblesville Schools where he was an integral part in the growth of the facilities and grounds over his nearly 18-year tenure with the school system.

Dennis was very active in the Noblesville community over his lifetime. He was involved in youth athletics and volunteered his time to various other organizations throughout the Noblesville community. He was also a member and Past Master of Noblesville Masonic Lodge 57. In his spare time Dennis was an avid car aficionado. He enjoyed buying and restoring classic cars including dozens of Corvettes, which were his true passion.

Dennis was the embodiment of a Christian and a family man. Few things brought him as much joy as his grandchildren and he was the ultimate loving grandfather, which earned him the title of “Best Papa/Papaw” by all of his grandchildren. Dennis worked diligently in all aspects of life to ensure that his family could enjoy and reach their own success in life. He passed along a great work ethic and family values to everyone he met. After his retirement he replaced work with family. Dennis valued family above all else and took every moment possible to be with them. Anyone who knew him was aware that out of all his accomplishments, the one he was most proud of was his family.

Dennis was preceded in death by his father, John D. Wyatt; his mother, Edith M. Wyatt; his sister, Mary Helen Hall; and his daughter, Denise Marie Wyatt.

Left to carry on Dennis’s legacy is his wife Rebecca “Becky” Wyatt; children, Chris (Leah) Wyatt, Holly (Jack) Tipsword (Wyatt), Jeff (Shayna) Wyatt and Leslie (Mike) Salud (Wyatt); grandchildren, Charles Wyatt, John (Jessa) Wyatt, Natalie Tipsword, Emily Tipsword, Morgan Wyatt, Chase Wyatt, Bella Wyatt, Emma Salud, and Mason Salud; and great-grandchildren, Connor Wyatt, Brantley Wyatt, Adeline Wyatt, and Declan Wyatt.

A visitation for family and friends will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, October 9 with a Masonic Rites service starting at 4 p.m. The funeral service celebrating Dennis’s life will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, October 10.
