Waymon Robert Wyatt

Spartanburg, SC- Waymon Robert Wyatt, 47, died at his home on Tuesday, April 2, 2019. Born March 25, 1972 in Spartanburg, SC, Robert was a son of the late Lee Jerome and Nan Mahaffey Wyatt. He attended the Spartanburg Day School where he was a star golfer. Robert was instrumental in the operations of Wyatt’s House of Flowers before he became a supervisor with JTEKT and later with Leadec. He was known for his vibrant wardrobe and was loved dearly for his welcoming, congenial nature. Robert genuinely loved people and they loved him in return. He never met a stranger and could find something to appreciate about everyone. His charismatic personality and encouraging spirit will be sorely missed.
