My sincere condolences and prayers for God's peace for your family.  Working with Bob was always enjoyable and his dedication to his work, family, and friends was obvious to all.  He touched many lives and will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.

We were devastated to to hear of Bobs accident and passing and we wanted to take a moment to tell his family how very sorry we are.
We worked in the same building as Bob and we never passed him with out stopping to talk for at least 20 minutes...He loved talking about his family, job and life. We totally enjoyed our brief times with him and will miss seeing him
Steve and Lucinda Newman

He was my mentor, my co-worker and my friend.  I have incredibley fond memories of Yakima and Bob was a big part of that.  Thank you Bob.  You are missed.

There are no words that I can think of to express my heartfelt wishes for The Wyatt's. Bob was truly an awesome man to have had in our lives, no matter the length of time.  He was an honorable man.  It was with pride that I was fortunate enough to call him brother-in-law.  Gone from our sights but you will live in our hearts forever.  Prayers and condolences to his beloved family.

Heartfelt condolences to Bob,s family.  He was one of the best.  God Bless.  John Bobb, ATF retired, Anchorage.

I had the privilege of knowing Bob through my work with the Yakima Co. Sheriff's office.  He was one of the good guys!  He always had a smile for you and he was a true gentleman.  Bob will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.  My prayers are with his family and friends.  Robin Karp

Bob is truly a legend in Yakima law enforcement and I'm privileged to have known him.  We didn't get to work any cases together but he always had time to stop and chat.  He often talked about his family and it was obvious how important his family was to him.  My deepest condolences to his family and friends.  RIP Bob - you will be missed by many.

Bob you were a good friend
and never judged anyone from 
there past.. Best agent I ever
met, and I'm sure your already
working in heaven.....may god 
bless your family....

Dear Pam. Lynn and Wyatt families,
You are in our prayers and thoughts at this time of your loss.
May our God surround each of you with comfort and peace.
Matthew 5:4  Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Grace & Peace

I had the privilege to work with Bob while I was still on YPD.  He was a true professional.  We never ran into each other anywhere without at least a 20 minute visit!  Bob was one of the good guys.

 So very sorry for you and your  family ..May you find  strength  and comfort in Gods grace during this  sad time

My heart aches for you as this is truly a traggic loss. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all.  May the good Lord surround you with his grace and peace during this must difficult time.

Bob was a legend and will continue to be a legend throughout the law enforcement community, as well as with the unlucky violators who drew Bobs attention. The criminal's knew when they saw the man with the big belt buckle,shined cowboy boots and the newly pressed jeans their day was turning bad.  I worked with Bob from 1991 to 1999 at the Yakima Office and can honestly say that Bob was the hardest working, persistant, and loyal  Special Agents I have known or worked with.There will never be another Bob Wyatt.  To Marion, Chris, Randy and Riley and other family and friends my thoughts and prayers are with you. Bob was an honest and good man, and I feel fortunate to have been able to have shared many good and funny times. I will miss you Bob Wyatt.

My thoughts and prayers are with Bob's family during this difficult time.  I pray God's comfort and peace upon you.  Bob was an outstanding investigator and someone I looked up to during the years I knew him.  His work ethic was stellar, and his professionalism was exemplary.  I will remember his sense of humor.  He had great stories and a ready smile.  He was always friendly and welcoming whenever we crossed paths.  He will truly, truly be missed.

Though I only knew you briefly, I was ever impressed with your vast capabilities. I wish we could have worked together more often. To your family are friends, please know that your grieving is a beautiful testament to the love and friendship you all shared with Bob. My thoughts and prayers are with you all

Bob--- You were legendary amongst the rank and file of ATF. You were one of a kind. I had the pleasure of working with you while stationed in the Army at YTC in the late 90's, and while working as an Agent in the Seattle Field Division with you until you retired. You were looked up to as a role model. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Absent from the body--present with the Lord--never forgotten!!!

To an uncle who cared so very much, you will be greatly missed.  
My thoughts and prayers are with his family who are grieving the loss of this great man.  Bob is watching over all of us.  He is a hero to many and now an angel for us all. May he rest in peace.

My prayers and love to Marion, the kids who arent kds anymore, their families, Alan, Lynn & Pam in the loss of such a beautiful person.....May God hold you in his loving  arms until you meet again...Debbie

Our love, thoughts & prayers are with you all today & in the days to come.  We rejoice that Bob is in Heaven with many loved ones & we will see him again one day.  With much love, Wayne & Barbara

Bob--I'm going to miss you so so much.  You were my Big Brother, My Rock, and My Hero.  You were always there with Compassion and Understanding.  I know that you are in heaven now with all your family and rejoicing and saying  "You should see this"!  I Love you and Thank you for being my Big Brother.

Our prayers are with the family; we will deeply miss Bob. Lt. Keagle (Yakima Co. Jail)

I had the opportunity to work with Bob when I worked in the criminal history area of the Yakima County Sheriffs Office to me he was the George Strait of the ATF, he was always pleasant and fun to work with, my prayers and thoughts are with you!

Our heart breaks at the loss of Bob.  Wish we could be there to give our support and love to the family.  Keeping you close in prayer.

From your little sister -- may this candle light your way to Heaven to be with your Heavenly Father and all of our loved ones who went before you.  I love and miss you so much.

From your little sister.  I love you and will miss you more than you could ever know.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I had the honor of working with Bob when I was a new agent in Seattle.  It was great to "learn the ropes" from a skilled Agent and I will never forget his passion for his work and his family.  RIP Bob, there aren't many like you.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
