We are deeply saddened by the passing of Ron “Duck” Wyatt, who faithfully served as the Iredell County Register of Deeds from August 22nd, 2016 to January 4th, 2021.
Ron left a lasting footprint on this office and on every person who had the privilege of working alongside him. As a leader, he set the tone with integrity, professionalism, and genuine compassion. He believed public service was not just a position, but a responsibility to serve every citizen with fairness, respect, and efficiency. Ron worked diligently to ensure the office operated with transparency and excellence, always striving to improve processes and better serve the people of Iredell County. He made it a priority to be accessible and supportive, leading by example and stepping in wherever he was needed. Above all, he cared deeply about his staff—encouraging them, recognizing their hard work, and creating an environment where they felt valued and appreciated. His steady guidance and servant’s heart defined his leadership.
Ron demonstrated his commitment to education and professional development by rejoining the North Carolina Register of Deeds Association during his tenure as Iredell County Register of Deeds. He ensured that his staff had the opportunity to attend NCARD District Workshops and Conferences, enabling them to stay current with new processes and laws and better serve the public.
Ron was a wonderful man with a giving heart. His presence, leadership, and deep care for Iredell County are irreplaceable, and he will be greatly missed.
We extend our sincere condolences to his wife, Julie, and his sons, Parker and Ethan, during this difficult time. Please join us in keeping his family in your thoughts and prayers as we remember and honor his life of service.
