Dodgeville - Wyatt Dustin Caygill, age 17, of Dodgeville, died on Sunday, September 23, 2012 as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
He was born in Boscobel, WI on Nov. 12, 1994 the son of Teri Luckey and Matt Caygill. Wyatt was a Senior at the Dodgeville High School. His passion was industrial arts, and had aspirations for underwater welding. He was planning to attend MHTC and then a Florida underwater welding school after graduation.
The eldest brother of Cameron, Masen, and Chandler, Wyatt wasn't afraid to pave the way and had a fearless aspect on life. A great debater, Wyatt wouldn't back down from what he believed in. He made friends fast and left everyone he met in awe. Quick to smile and offer a punch line where needed, he supported and helped anyone he could. He looked forward to vacations every summer, and could always be found with a book in his hands. Wyatt loved easily and often, always the first to snuggle a baby, help a friend or care for animals especially his family dogs, Butters, Mazie, Apple and Tedward.
