Jerry Marvin Wyatt

Born April 4, 1940 to Marvin and Virginia Wyatt in St. Francisville, Illinois, the family shortly afterward moved to Centralia, Illinois. He was in the class of 1959 at Centralia High School and a member of the Orphan's Basketball, Track and Football teams where he accomplished the All-State title. Football ultimately took him to Southern Illinois University where he studied Nuclear Engineering.

After college his career took him to the leading edge of computer science; working at Univac, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, General Motors and then retiring from EDS in the late '90s. He did not slowdown in retirement. He was a computer security consultant for the Y2K scare in 1999. As a member of the local country club Board of Governors, his love of cooking drew him to being Chairman of the Food and Beverage committee. He also authored two unpublished cookbooks.

His passing follows that of his parents and his sister, Linda Webb. He is survived by his loving wife, Karen, sons, Keenan and Jeremy and also his granddaughter Mattesyn.
