Wyatt James Caris, 22, of Blanchard, passed away Friday, January 11, 2019 at Geisinger Medical Center, Danville.

Wyatt was born in Portland, Oregon on June 25, 1996, the son of Jason and Emily Hoy Caris, whom survive in Blanchard.

He was a 2017 graduate of Central Mountain High School.

Wyatt had a heart of gold that stretched to all who knew him. He loved everyone he met and would often introduce himself with a big high five. He enjoyed socializing and being a jokester with his friends and family. His iPod was a big part of his life – especially finding videos on YouTube. He was a fan of the Price Is Right and Wheel of Fortune, enjoyed his books and liked Snoopy. Wyatt also cherished the time he spent at Clinton County Community Connections with his friends and helpers.

In addition to his parents, he is survived by his maternal grandmother, Glenda Hoy of Mill Hall; paternal grandmother, Carol Caris of Nevada; maternal great-grandfather, Richard Meyer of Milesburg; his uncles and aunts, Jaime (Amanda) Hoy of Mill Hall, Shannon Caris of Nevada and Brice Caris of Oregon; two special friends who were like uncles to Wyatt, Kenny Matter of Jersey Shore and Randy Laubach of Beech Creek; his cousins, Erin Caris, Corrin Hoy and Bella Hoy; and his caregiver who was like his second mother, Terri Probst of Lock Haven.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Robert Hoy; and paternal grandfather, Wayne “Butch” Caris.
