Mr. Hyatt was born March 19, 1941, in Franklin, Georgia, to the late Herman and Eunice (Gladney) Hyatt. He was retired from General Motors where he excelled as a tool and die maker in skilled trades and was a member of UAW Local 10 in Doraville, Georgia. He was a selfless person who always put the needs of his family before his and was the first to help someone whether he knew them or they were a complete stranger. He was a Christian by faith.

He is survived by his two daughters, Cindy Young (Blake) of Spring Hill, Tennessee, and Mindy Runyan of Franklin, Georgia; two grandchildren, Brent Young of Spring Hill, Tennessee, and Kayla Runyan of Franklin, Georgia; two sisters, Thelma Hooper of Powder Springs, Georgia, and Melba Templeton (Bill) of Hogansville, Georgia; as well as many nieces and nephews, other relatives, and friends. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Ray, Billy, Riley, Reese, and Bruce Hyatt; and sisters, Adele Daniel, Bertha Moore, Ruby Duke, and Bernice Lemons.

Bob was a loving father, grandfather, brother, and loyal friend and will be greatly missed by all who were lucky enough to know him.
