Wyatt Mooring Obituary

Wyatt Harold Mooring, Jr., 83, formerly of Rome, Georgia, passed away on March 4, 2026. Born in El Dorado, Arkansas, on April 10, 1942, he was the son of Wyatt Harold Mooring, Sr. and Mary Louise Franklin Mooring.

A graduate of Texas Tech University, Wyatt was commissioned through the NROTC program and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1965. He earned his wings of gold in 1966 as a Naval Aviator. His love for international travel began while he was stationed in Rota, Spain, on reconnaissance missions in the C-121. In his 20 years in the United States Navy, he rose to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Following his military service, he had a 30-year career as a captain with Delta Air Lines. In retirement, he enjoyed archery, restoring old homes, and spending time with his family along the barrier islands of North Florida.

Wyatt was a devoted Christian, family man, and is survived by his wife of nearly 50 years, Julia Jackson Mooring; his five children, Lisa Mooring, Lianne Grant (Trevor), Molly Melin (Philippe), Wyatt III (Tracie), and Mark (Lauren); ten grandchildren; Wesley, Lizzy Kate, Maddie, Charlie, Maizy, Allie Gray, Wyatt IV, Marion, Ashley and Georgia; and his brothers John Mooring and Mark Mooring. He was preceded in death by his parents.
