Obituary — Jeremy James Wyatt,
July 19, 1974 – Aug. 4, 2024

CLAYTON, CA (Oct. 30, 2024) — Our son, Jeremy James Wyatt, left us way too soon. Born on July 19, 1974, he passed on Aug. 4 in a tragic drowning accident while fishing in San Pablo Bay.

Jeremy was born in Concord but lived most of his life in Clayton, on Morgan Territory Road. He loved wrenching on cars and anything that had a motor. Thank you, Mr. Harvey (Clayton Valley High School).

Out of high school, he ventured on to Wyoming Tech Institute and became a diesel mechanic. Twenty-eight years later, after many years of working with Local 3, he found his “happy place,” Dutra Quarry in San Rafael. He loved his job and his crew mates. The perks were fishing after work and on weekends.

He had a lot of hobbies: fishing, camping, motorcycles, gold panning and he loved tools. Jeremy loved his dogs and Kimber was his last, passing on that tragic day also. Jeremy loved his family and friends and would be there in a heartbeat to help those in need.

Jeremy is survived by his parents, Brenda/Steve Benkly and Terry/Leslie Wyatt, along with aunts/uncles, nieces/nephews and cousins.

A Celebration of Life was held Oct. 26 at the Concord Mt. Diablo Trail Ride Association in Clayton.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that you consider donating to the International OCD Foundation in Jeremy’s memory.

Peace, Jeremy. You are loved immensely by your family and oh so many friends.
