Mr. Jett loved all of his family and was a kind and gentle man, hardly ever even raising his voice. He was a member of Decatur Baptist Church for 50-plus years. He served his country in the National Guard and retired as a staff sergeant in August of 1999. He also retired from the Alabama Department of Transportation, where he worked as a Civil Engineer. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
The family wishes to express thanks to all the staff at Alacare Hospice for their kindness and compassion shown to Hoyt, and to Debbie Kilpatric for the kind service as his caregiver.
Roselawn Funeral Home is assisting the family.
