“He was beautiful,” she said of Wyatt. “We are so honored to have had the privilege of having him in our lives, as our Gentle Giant, our precious son.”
Wyatt is survived by his mother, Teresa; his father, Michael; and a 20-year-old sister and an 18-year-old brother.
He would have been a freshman at Valencia High School in the fall.
