Bryan Marcellous Wigginton, Jr., 86, of Chatsworth, Georgia, passed away peacefully

on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at Dalton Square in Dalton, Georgia. A proud American,

devoted husband, and loving father and grandfather, Bryan lived a life filled with

purpose, competition, and quiet joy.

He honorably served in the U.S. Army and Army National Guard for nearly 30 years,

dedicating his life to the values he held dear: duty, honor, and service. Bryan also

contributed to his community through his work in Information Technology in Dalton, most

notably at Coronet Industries.

Bryan is remembered for his warm, infectious smile—a smile so bright it could light up

any room. He was a lover of family, nature, and a lifelong sports enthusiast, especially

golf. On the course and off it, he was a fierce competitor, always giving his best and

inspiring others to do the same.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Bryan Marcellous Wigginton, Sr. and Ollie

Mae (Hovey) Wigginton. He is survived by the love of his life, Wallie, his wife of nearly

61 wonderful years. Their partnership was a model of enduring love and devotion and

mutual respect. Bryan also leaves behind his sons, Timothy Wigginton of Atlanta, GA,

and Bryan O. Wigginton of Portland, OR, as well as his cherished granddaughter,

Megan Wigginton of Atlanta, GA.

A memorial service will be held to celebrate Bryan's life; the date will be announced at a

later time.
