David Wright Obituary
He was a decorated Korean War veteran of the Air force and owned various upholstery and auto body shops in California and Lake Havasu City.
His lifelong passions were restoring old cars, beating his friends and family at card games, and playing the banjo. Dave was famous for telling jokes and had a joke for nearly every occasion. His true joys in life were making people laugh, making music, and his love and pride for his wife, kids, grandkids and great-grandkids.
He is survived by his wife of 54 years Angie Wright, son Michael (Deborah) Wright, daughter Patricia (Dennis) Barrell, daughter Suzanne Wright, Vince Simons, and 11 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his son Daniel Wright in 2006.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the entire staff of Hospice of Havasu for their loving care and support.
Due to the pandemic, there will be no services.

I have known this family since I was 6 years old. They were my neighbor in Chino and then some how we all landed in Havasu for a few years. I can remember hanging at their house as a child and watching him play his Banjo and wash pan. He also taught us girls how to behead a chicken and gut it. Yuk. Lol. He will be missed dearly. Prayers for the whole family and sorry I just now writing. I didn’t see the obituary until today (Sept 19). Love to all Krissy
