David D. Wyatt

David (Dave) Wyatt, age 55 of Bear, Delaware passed away Sunday, November 3, 2024, from severe injuries sustained during a work accident. He was with family and friends in his final moments. Dave was born December 21, 1968, in Newark, Delaware to loving parents Ronnie and Cheryl Wyatt. Raised in Newark, Dave graduated from Newark High School and went on to join the United States Air Force in 1986. He received an honorable discharge from the Air Force in 1995 and then furthered his education at Tallahassee State College and SUNY Plattsburgh State University. In 2001, Dave met the love of his life, Alex. He knew right away that she was the one and they married the same year. They welcomed their son Jake in 2003 and daughter Leah in 2008. Dave took great pride in being a father. When they were little, Dave was the drop off and pick up every day dad. He loved watching Leah play soccer and taking beach trips and going to car shows with Jake. Dave especially enjoyed the time he spent with his family hiking, traveling to Cape Cod or North and South Carolina, and exploring new places on weekend trips with Alex. Dave spent the first 25 years of his career working with children and adults with disabilities. His dedication to the less fortunate was something he learned from his parents. In 1996, he started a seasonal side business pressure washing homes and cleaning gutters. Before long, his side business grew into a full-time thriving career, and a few years ago, he expanded his business by adding Even Glow Lights. He has been lighting up homes in the area for Christmas and throughout the year. He was known throughout the home service industry as a leader, mentor, and friend to all. Beyond his professional life, Dave was deeply involved in his community and The Town Church of Middletown, Delaware, where he became the church’s first deacon. He was a man of deep faith, unwavering dedication, and commitment to ministry. Dave was known for his genuine, encouraging nature, and support of others. Dave is survived by his loving wife of 23 years, Alex; son, Jake; daughter, Leah; aunt Gayle Welman and her husband Joe; uncle Mark Callahan and his wife Angela; and cousin Amy Waidner and her children, Bethany and Alex. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ronnie and Cheryl Wyatt. A service celebrating David’s life will be held at The Town Church of Middletown, in Middletown, Delaware on Friday, November 15, 2024, at 4pm. Dave left his mark on his community with his quiet, unassuming way, love of 80’s music, and genuine care for his friends. His legacy of kindness, service, and leadership will be remembered by all who knew him.
