Wyatt Reed Carmichael

Wyatt Reed Carmichael, age 18, of Bellefontaine, Mississippi, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, after a tragic accident in Webster County, Mississippi. Wyatt, just celebrating his eighteenth birthday, was born on September 4, 2008, in Starkville, Mississippi to Ken Carmichael and Erin Morris Pittman with beautiful blue eyes and soon enough a head full of blonde curls. 

Wyatt attended Clarkson Baptist Church in Webster County and was also a 2027 Senior at Eupora High School in Eupora, Mississippi. He loved all things about country living. He had a true passion for target shooting with multiple Nerf guns at the ready. As he got a little older, his passion quickly turned to hunting deer, squirrel and most recently ducks. His recent birthday request was a pair of new waders for the anticipated upcoming duck season. He often would bring home not only the first buck of the season, but the most in quantity as well. Along with his love for the outdoors, tennis was a perfect fit for him and his extra energy he always had. In earlier years, Wyatt ran cross country and this afforded him a way to run between tennis matches--just for the fun of running! He could hold his own with a round of golf as well. When the outdoor activities weren't keeping him busy, Wyatt enjoyed video games with his buddies. He was good at so many things and was so easy going with his friends. Life was a good fit in all directions. And to fuel all these likes, games and matches, he had a very healthy manly appetite. He was often teased about eating so fast it didn't have time for the calories to stick to his bones! He was such a big hearted, kind, loving, silly and fun big brother, big cousin and best friend to so many. He was a precious one-of-a-kind son, grandson and nephew. 

Wyatt is survived by his mother, Erin (Austin) Morris Pittman of Bellefontaine, Mississippi; father, Ken (Natalie) Carmichael of Lincolnton, North Carolina; brother, Westyn Carmichael of Bellefontaine, Mississippi; sisters, Kenley Carmichael of Lincolnton, North Carolina, Adalynn Edmondson and Kaelynn Edmondson both of Caledonia, Mississippi; grandparents, Charlie and Becky Morris of Cumberland, Mississippi; Mary Catherine Carmichael of Walthall, Mississippi and David and Lisa Pittman of Bellefontaine, Mississippi; great grandfather, James Ray of Walthall, Mississippi; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family friends and classmates. He is preceded in death by his grandfather, Kenny Carmichael; great grandparents, Ralph and Jo Alice Bigham, Charles and Gerda Morris, D.C. and Doris Carmichael, Dorothy Ray, Robert and Laraine Pittman and Bill and Libby Middleton.
