U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. David Allen Wyatt, one of five servicemen who died in last week’s assault at local military buildings, will be laid to rest in the Chattanooga National Cemetery.
Wyatt’s obituary, released Monday afternoon, said he leaves behind his wife of 10 1/2 years, a son and a daughter, as well as his mother, father, stepparents, two brothers, four sisters and four brothers-in-law.
Robert Schrader, director of the Chattanooga Funeral Home, said Wyatt’s body has not been released. Until then, his family does not know when the celebration of his life will take place. There will be two services: a private one and one for the public.
He will then be buried at the Chattanooga National Cemetery, where plots are reserved for military veterans. Members of the Marine Corps who served alongside Wyatt will serve as pallbearers.
