Willard Wright Obituary


Willard Clinton Wright, the ultimate cowboy, also known as "Ol' G" and "Big Daddy" to many, passed away in Odessa, Texas on Thursday, February 9, 2017. He was born to the late, Clinton Merle and Carolyn Lois Green Wright on September 17, 1938 in Odonnell, Texas. Clint was a man who left a mark on those he encountered. He was known as one of the most unique people you could ever meet. He had a strong will and independent streak, some might even say he was mischievous. Clint was a man who lived his life on his own terms. He was generous to a fault, always putting others above himself. Clint believed in having an open home to anyone who might need it. He was an animal lover, especially of his dogs and horses. He was a horse-trainer and farrier by trade, which afforded him the opportunity to meet people of all walks of life. He was extremely loyal to his friends and family. Clint was the blond headed cowboy with the smile that you never forgot. His open heart, love for life and infectious laughter will be missed greatly. He is preceded in death by his parents and son, Mark Wright.

Survivors include his daughters, Cee-Cee McMullan, Keila Wright, Kenda Wright, Karolyn Wright, and Kat Snowden; 18 grandchildren; 16 great grandchildren; sister, Marilyn Brown; and a host of other relatives and friends.

Graveside funeral services will be held at 2:00PM on Saturday, February 11, 2017 in the Johnson's Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens of San Angelo. Dr. James Miller will officiate. Family and friends are encouraged to share photos and memories as well as sign the online guestbook at www.johnsons-funeralhome.com .

I love and miss you dearly! You were an amazing person. God knows you did many things for me through out my life. Seen at my worst and helped me up when I fell down. Encouraged me to do better and proud of me when I finally crossed over to the better side of life. Love you always. There's a hole in my heart and I will miss you everyday. I know your with Jesus! ❤
