Obituary of Wyatt Thomas Lott

Wyatt Thomas Lott, a spirited soul who never met a challenge or a mountain he couldn’t charm. Left this world far too soon at the age of 25, on February 1, 2024.  Born in Mountain Home, Idaho, on May 3^rd, 1998, Wyatt’s life was a testament to the joy and laughter he spread as effortlessly; as he did the dirt with the heavy equipment he operated.

 

Known for standing up for the underdog and navigating life’s twists and turns with a moral compass that always pointed true north, Wyatt was the guy you wanted in your corner. His advice wasn’t just good- it was a "Lott" better than anyone else’s. And when it came to finding solutions, Wyatt could think outside of the box so far, you would think the box never existed.

 

Wyatt’s smile and laughter were so contagious, they should’ve come with a health warning. His ability to lift spirts was like record-breaking work at Florida Canyon mine in Nevada— earth shatteringly impressive. Speaking of which, Wyatt recently moved mountains-literally- loading a whopping 234,000 tons dirt in a single shift. And yes, that’s tons with a “T” just like the tenacity and heart he brought to every day.

 

This awesome man of many hobbies never met a river he couldn’t raft, a game he couldn’t hunt, or a fish he couldn’t catch. He was a Jack-of-all-trades, master of fun, and if life were a kitchen. Wyatt was the head chef, serving up hearty helpings of fun and laughter.

 

He leaves behind a band of loved ones who are proud to be called his family and friends. Wyatt’s legacy is carried on by his parents Lisa and Harold; brother Jack; sisters, Sarah (Tony) and Emily (Ronnie); nephew Hesston; nieces, Roca and Gemma; and a whole ensemble of relatives who were his biggest fans.

 

Wyatt’s grand entrance into heaven was surely met with open arms by his grandparents, and other angels who went before him. Likely saying, “Here comes trouble,” with affectionate smiles.

 

The final curtain call for Wyatt’s celebration of life will be April 6^th at 4 pm at American Legion post 26 in Mountain Home, Idaho. In true Wyatt style, it’s not a farewell but a standing ovation for a life well-played.  

 

Rost Funeral Home has had the honor of assisting with Wyatt’s encore, preparing for a celebration that’s less about goodbye and more about “See you later.” So, raise a glass,and give a round of applause for the man who taught us all how to make the best of any situation.

Wyatt Thomas Lott, the legend who could even make the angels giggle.
