Obituary of David Wright
Wright, David John
February 17th, 1960 - November 8, 2024
David Wright of Ridgetown passed away suddenly at home on November 8, 2024.
David was the second eldest child of the late Ralph Sr. (1984) and Elva (Ecker) (2008). Pre-deceased by his oldest brother Ralph Jr. (2020)
David is survived by and will be deeply missed by his brothers Paul (Philippines), Tom (Moe) (Julia), Gerald (Howie) and tremendously missed by his only sister Laura (Gary) all of Ridgetown.
David will also be greatly missed by his nephews Ryan (Domino) and Chance (Alexis) Huff, Skylar (Harley) and Sheldon (Fiona) Wright, Michael Aers and his great nieces Graciee Young, Makenna Huff and his great nephew Chance (CJ) Huff Jr.
David was a 42-year employee of Pinnell’s Pastries, Town and Country Meats from 1984 till closing; but Dave is probably best known for his lawn care and snow removal around town for over 50 years. Most of all Dave was dependable till the end no matter what the task!
Donations made in memory of David to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
He was our protector in life.
Now we will be the guardians of his memory.
RIP Brother, Uncle, and Great Uncle
