Kenneth Loy Wyrick

Kenneth "Ken" Loy Wyrick ended his fourth quarter peacefully at the age of 72 on November 27, 2021 in Knoxville, Tennessee, just up the road from where he grew up to be one of the best tailbacks of all time for Central High School, Class of 1966. Ken went on to graduate from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1971 and was captain of the Army Football team. He left this physical existence surrounded by family, including his wife, Lee Wyrick, his children, Lauren, Casey, Jillian and David, and his best friend of over fifty years, Michael Masciello. His siblings are Stephen Wyrick and Janet Dempsey. He is the son of Kenneth C. Wyrick, and Inis Loy Wyrick Smelser. He is Uncle Kenny to Lisa Kate, Mary, Alex, Laura, and Rebecca. There will be a private celebration of Ken’s life in 2022. As an alternative to sending flowers, please honor Ken by making a donation to Central High School Bobcats Pride & Tradition Booster Club in his name. Checks can be made out to Bobcat Pride & Tradition, Inc. Additionally, join his family in remembrance by tuning in to watch Army beat Navy on what would have been his seventy-third birthday, December 11, 2021.
