Skyler Lee Wallace, age 13 went home to be with the Lord on Friday June 7, 2024. He was born on November 13, 2010. Skyler loved his family, video games and lived for basketball with aspirations of being a D1 athlete and a NBA star. He loved his JMS basketball team and his Run n Gun AAU team, especially his forever basketball brothers Skyler Moore and David Chase Smith. He had a smile and personality that lit the room. He was caring, charming, outgoing and very persuasive. He loved to aggravate his Mimi by riding in the backseat being chauffeured as if he was an NBA star. He loved everyone around him and never made anyone feel out of place, he truly loved his coaches and teachers.

Skyler is preceded in death by his great grandparents, Bob Martin and Lynda and Bob Waggoner; and grandmother, Delinda Wallace.

He is survived by his Pappy and Mimi, Les and Amy Martin; grandparents, Jim and Linda Wilson; aunt, Jennie Martin (Scott); uncles, Isaac Martin, Josh Martin (Kristin) and Christopher Wallace; cousins – Gabrial, Ashland, Hunter Martin, Daegan Conrad and Tinsley Effler; biological parents, Kelly Martin and Bobby Wallace; many great aunts and uncles and cousins too many to list.

The family will receive friends on Friday June 14, 2024 from 3 PM to 7 PM in the gym of Jacksboro Middle School. Funeral service will follow at 7 PM with Rev. Tom Reese officiating. Family, friends, teammates, and classmates will meet on Saturday June 15, 2024 at 9:15 at Jacksboro Middle School to go in funeral procession to Campbell Memorial Gardens for a 10 AM interment.

The family would like to offer a special thanks to Ashley Whited Moore and David and Jenn Smith for being his parents when he was away from home and his chauffeur when Mimi and Pappy couldn’t. 

The family has entrusted the care of Skyler Lee Wallace to Martin Wilson Funeral Home “Where Families Matter Most.”
