In Loving Memory of Rhett Wayne Marriott 💔

August 2021 – September 7, 2025

It is with shattered hearts that we share the tragic and unimaginable loss of our beautiful son, Rhett Wayne, at just 4 years old.

Rhett was a vibrant, loving, and deeply special boy who brought light and laughter into every room he entered. He was autistic, and while he experienced the world in his own unique and magical way, his smile, his joy, and his pure spirit created instant connections with everyone who had the blessing of knowing him.

On September 7th, our worst nightmare became a reality — Rhett was lost in a tragic drowning accident. In one heartbreaking moment, our world was turned upside down, and we are left trying to navigate the immense and unthinkable pain of losing our little boy.

Rhett loved Cocomelon, hugs, and especially playing with water — it brought him peace and pure happiness. His energy was unmatched, his cuddles the warmest, and his love, unconditional.

We are reaching out during this time of immense grief to ask for your support. The funds raised will help us:

• Cover funeral and memorial expenses

• Take time away from work to grieve, heal, and care for our family

• Create a sensory-friendly memorial space to honor Rhett’s life and legacy

If you are part of the firefighting, first responder, or autism community, we would be grateful if you could help by sharing this page.

Your support — whether through donations, prayers, or kind words — means more to us than we could ever express. Thank you for loving our boy and for helping us keep his beautiful spirit alive.

With broken hearts,
The Marriotts
