With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we gather in memory of a truly remarkable man — Don Wright. His passing leaves behind a profound sense of loss for all who knew and loved him. Don was not only a beloved father, husband, grandfather, and friend — he was a cornerstone of strength, kindness, and quiet wisdom in every circle he touched.
Don Wright was a man who led by example. Humble in nature but mighty in character, he didn’t need grand gestures or loud words to make his presence known. His actions spoke louder — whether it was offering a helping hand, a listening ear, or a quiet moment of support when someone needed it most. He carried himself with integrity, treated everyone with dignity, and had a gift for making people feel truly seen and heard.
To his family, Don was everything. He was the steady hand in times of uncertainty, the one who always showed up, and the kind of man who taught others how to live with patience, respect, and unwavering love. He worked hard, never sought recognition, and gave generously — not only of what he had but of who he was. His family was his world, and he took immense pride in watching them grow, guiding them not just with words, but by the values he lived every day.
To his friends and neighbors, Don was the type of man you could always count on — the one who would lend a tool, share a story, or show up unasked when you were struggling. His laughter was warm, his advice was thoughtful, and his company was a comfort. He had a way of bringing calm to chaos and light to even the heaviest of days.
Don’s passions were simple but deeply rooted. Whether it was working with his hands, spending time outdoors, enjoying a good meal with family, or simply sitting in peaceful reflection, he found beauty in life’s quiet moments. He never asked for much, but gave more than most could ever measure.
As we say goodbye to Don Wright, we also celebrate the life he lived — a life marked by purpose, by generosity, and by a love that will continue to ripple through the lives he touched. His absence is a tremendous loss, but his legacy is lasting. It lives on in the stories we share, in the values he instilled, and in the love that continues to surround his memory.
There are no words strong enough to capture all that Don meant to us. But what we can say is this: we were better for knowing him. We are better for having been loved by him. And we are forever changed by the quiet strength he gave to this world.
Rest in peace, Don.
Your life was a gift, your memory a treasure.
You are loved beyond words, and missed beyond measure.
