Neal Guy Wyatt was born to Nelson Guy and Vergie (Murphy) Wyatt on Sept. 18, 1924, in Prague, Okla. He graduated from Prague High School and attended Seminole Junior College prior to enlisting in the Army Air Force in 1943.
He served as an engine overhaul mechanic and was in special services as a member of the Army Air Force boxing team. He fought in the Golden Gloves finals in Los Angeles.

He married Nita Walker on Nov. 19, 1952. They resided in Powell, Wyo., for some time, where Neal worked for Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp. The family later moved to Cushing, Okla., where he was employed by U.S. Industries.
In 1967, he moved to Sterling as district manager for U.S. Industries. In 1969, the Wyatts built and managed the Sterling Skate Center on N. 10th Avenue. The Wyatts resided in Long Beach, Calif., from 1985 until 1994; during this time, Neal was semi-retired. In 1994, they returned to Sterling.
Neal was active with the Boy Scouts, serving as treasurer of Troop 15; the Sterling Lions Club; American Legion; Elks Lodge 1336; Sterling Masonic Lodge No. 54; A.F. & A.M.; and York Rite Bodies. Neal was an active member of Christ United Methodist Church, serving on many committees, and president of Methodist Men's Club.
He was an avid sports fan, attending as many football and basketball games as possible. He also loved to fish and play golf.
He is survived by his wife, Nita; a daughter, Debra Wyatt of Sterling; a sonk, Randall Wyatt and wife Kimberly of San Leandro, Calif.; sister, Virginia Norman of Bozeman, Mont.; and numerous nieces and nephews.
