Born July 29, 1951 in Brunswick GA to Calvert Alvin and Winnie Lawanna H. Kersey. He was a graduate of Glynn Academy - Class of 1970 and was a lifelong resident of Brunswick and was a sales associate with Willie Watson Motors. A proud member and volunteer of St. Simons Community Church; you were assured to either find him playing bongos on stage, directing traffic in the parking lot or worshipping amongst the congregation. Wyatt’s passion and talent in music allowed him to play drums and percussion with many local bands throughout his life. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, grilling and was an avid reader. Wyatt truly loved others well and will be remembered as a wonderful friend, loving father to his “Sunshine” and the world’s greatest “Papa” to his precious grandbabies.

He is survived by his daughter, Lindsay Stewart (Sean) of St. Simons Island, two grandchildren, Kersey and Porter, his mother, Winnie Lawanna Thornton of Brunswick, GA, five siblings, Cheryl Turner (Jack) of Canton, GA, Gina Kelly of Brunswick, GA, Gary Kersey (Julia) of Acworth, GA, Paul Kersey (Raquel) of Brunswick, GA, and step brother, William Everett (Annette) of Raeford, NC, and several nieces and nephews.
