It is hard to believe that after 50 years of friendship, that Wyatt isn't with us anymore. We had a lot of happy times together and couldn't have asked for a better or more loyal friend. We will miss him.

Wyatt Gordon was an integral part of our company. His professionalism and ethics were a reflection of his integrity. His thoughtful input was always welcome and appreciated. We enjoyed his enthusiasm for attending open houses and taking part in our company traditions. I will miss Wyatt and will always have fond memories of our times together over the last 20 years, and before as well.

Madeline, Diane and Lynn,
I was shocked to hear that Wyatt had passed away! I'm sure you'll miss him but be thankful for the time you've had together.
Funny to hear people refer to him as "Flash" and the "Energizer Bunny"...I remember that he held a record for most touchdown's from his Pop Warner Football days in Charlotte, he was fast!
Wyatt always had a since of purpose and a good word for everyone.

Wyatt was a kind & thoughtful person. I graduated school with him, class of 64. He would always be willing to help you with anything.
As you go through the following days, may you be comforted knowing he is with his Father.
He was one of the few good men. He will be missed.
I have to say, he was quite good looking then, & turned a lot of girls heads !
He was always a gentleman!
RIP Wyatt we will see you again!

Wyatt was such a positive presence in our community, in so many ways. I will miss his boyish grin and unmistakable laugh. He was the first person I met when I set foot on Oak Island in 1994. Madeleine, I am so sad for you and the family. You have our sincerest sympathies. Pat Maloney and Adam Hupert

Wyatt, a true real estate professional will be truly missed. Not only does the Margaret Rudd & Assoc. family have a missing member but the entire real estate community will have a hole in it's ranks. That distinctive laugh that went with his sense of humor will resonate in our minds forever. Our thoughts and prayer are with Madeline and his entire family. Rest in Peace, Wyatt.

Madeleine, Lynn, & Dianne, I was so shocked to learn of your loss. Had no idea Wyatt was sick. He was my choir buddie for many years. Loved sitting by him as he had that beautiful strong tenor which helped me as a soprano to stay on key. He was such a dedicated choir member as well as you Madeleine. I called him the "energizer bunny" as he was always full speed ahead! I cannot be at the memorial Friday as Bill has an appointment at Duke. My thoughts & prayers are with all of you at this time. Wyatt is singing in God's heavenly choir!

Wyatt was a very important part of our lives for many years. He always had a smile and a joke and would always make a pot of coffee, even though it was usually only Wyatt and me to drink it. We will miss him forever.

Wyatt and Madeleine have been such an integral part of our choir at Southport Baptist Church for so many years. Wyatt was always faithful and dedicated. You could always anticipate him bringing added entertainment to our practices with his sense of humor. We have an empty seat in our tenor section now at Southport Baptist, but the heavenly choir has gained a wonderful man. We will miss him!

Prayers for Madelyn and the family. Will always remember Wyatt with a smile on his face and always open for something funny. I called him Flash, and he seemed to like it. Rest in peace my old friend. A great Realtor.

Wyatt and Madeleine have been our friends for a very long time. They were in the adult choir at Southport Baptist Church with me for over 40 years. I will always remember Wyatt's beautiful tenor voice and his laugh. He had a very good sense of humor. He was very loyal to the choir. We will miss him terribly, not only in the choir, but as a dear friend.
