December 2, 2025
Mr. Wildy Alvoid Boutwell, who was 88 years old, sadly passed away on Monday, December 1, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his beloved family. He was originally from Flomaton, Alabama, and had spent many years living in Atmore, Alabama. His life was filled with love and memories shared with those closest to him.

Each morning, he would feed his cow with a smile, enjoying her gentle company. In the evenings, he’d settle down to watch his favorite westerns, a twinkle in his eye as he got lost in the stories. He often said, “Ya’ll be particular on that road,” reminding everyone to tread carefully and appreciate the journey, just like he did.
Mr. Boutwell is preceded in death by his parents, Jefferson Davis and Ora Jane Lynch Boutwell; two sisters, Beatrice Emmons and Hazel Walston; brothers, J L Boutwell, Herman Boutwell, Floyd Boutwell, Jimmy Boutwell, Buddy Boutwell and Chester Boutwell.
