Notes for Wylie Dean BRIGGS
Wylie Dean Briggs was born December 12, 1938, in Holbrook AZ to Denva and Lois Briggs. A short while after he was born the family moved to Roswell, NM where he spent the majority of his life. He was the second of six children.

Wylie was married for 23 years to Carol Alsup, and during that time they had 3 sons.

Wylie was a service station owner from the early 1960's to the early 1980's. He went on to become an outside salesman for NAPA auto parts for 20 plus years. After his time with NAPA, he worked for a retail company called Mosaic until he retired. He moved to Geneva, NE in October of 2010 and lived there until his passing. He loved the Dallas Cowboys and watched every game he could.

While enjoyed doing many things, but what he looked forward to the most was spending time with his family.

He leaves behind three sons that he loved dearly: Dr. Wylie D. Briggs, Jr. (wife Nancy), Scott D. Briggs (wife Dana), and Jason Briggs (wife Stephanie). Wylie had five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren: Tara Hayes, Shaylan Briggs, Kylie Overton, Ameila Briggs, Violet Briggs, Tripp Hayes, Aubrie Overton and Leah Caputo.

Wylie was preceded in death by his father Denva Briggs, mother Lois Briggs, brother, J. D. Briggs and grandchildren, Wyatt, Clayton and Morgan Briggs.
