Olin L. Gammage & Sons Funeral Home in Cedartown this morning announced the death of Wyatt Pilgrim, a local boy struck by a school bus in a Wednesday, Sept. 9 accident.

According to the death notice, Pilgram passed away Sunday.

Pilgram was transported to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite after the accident. He remained in critical condition a week after he was struck.

Family members reported that the boy sustained brain damage from the accident.

“They are working to assist in counseling and working with the family," he said.

My sincerest condolences to the Pilgrim family. I've been praying for Wyatt ever since the accident and was so hoping that there would be a better outcome. May God bless you all and give you strength in this very sad time.

To everyone else: Remember that there is a fund set up at !st National Bank for Wyatt's family. I'm sure that they could use the help for the medical expenses and funeral expenses. Just ask any teller and they'll help you make a donation.
so sorry

I am so sorry to hear Wyatt Passed away.

I am from Cedartown moved away about 22 years ago. I have never seen so many people who have nothing better to do than sit on a computer.

And complain about every thing under the sun . Think about the pilgram family and have them in your thoughts for one day . and say a pray for them .Instead of he said she said bull . Think of something good to say for once.Their are some comments from some people who never have a good word. Hey I know someone will have something mean

to say about this comment . And I have never written one before . So please forgive me if I spelled a word wrong or stepped on someones toes . but there is more important things to talk about . like the very sweet little boy who's life ended way to soon .
