Wyatt Sidney Duckworth

With great sadness, we announce that Wyatt Sidney Duckworth passed away on October 17, 2024. Wyatt was born on February 18, 2008 to Joe and Nikki Duckworth. He was 16 years old and wildly loved. 

Wyatt lived boldly and independently, with an admirable determination to do things his own way. Wyatt had a great love of sports that began at an early age as he fell in love with the game of baseball, and this love continued for the duration of his life as he showed talent and passion for a variety of sports. Wyatt took any opportunity he could to step out onto a field, court, or course to play a game he loved. 

Wyatt will be remembered by his family and friends as an intelligent young man with a pure soul and infectious laugh. His sense of humor will be remembered fondly with laughs that will be shared with him in spirit. Wyatt lived his life loudly, leaving echoes that will be held close to the hearts of those of who were blessed enough to know and to love him. 

In addition to his parents, Wyatt is survived by his siblings, Eli and Callie Duckworth; grandparents Steve and Kathy Duckworth, and Ron (Donna Russell) Betz; great-grandmother Jackie Young; uncles Aaron (Stacey) Duckworth, and Richard Betz; cousin Perrie Grace Duckworth; and other aunt and uncles who will cherish his memory. Wyatt leaves behind a beloved girlfriend, and countless friends that he shared his life with. He is preceded in death by his grandmother Debbie Betz, and great-grandfather Bud Young. 

A celebration of life will be held Thursday, October 24 from 5PM to 8PM at First Southern Baptist Church, 35 N. Liberty Street, Camden, OH 45311. 

"I know I'm bound to die one day
So when I reach those golden gates
I pray to say I did the best I can
Sit with my mother and the dearly departed
Send a prayer down to the broken-hearted
Let 'em know it all turns out just fine"
