Reverend Wright officiated our wedding 37 years ago and we are still going strong today by God's grace and guidance! Reverend Wright's ministry leadership was a true example of a man after God's heart. My family (Whittington/Jones) and I have attended First Baptist Church for as long as I can remember...and under the leadership of Reverend Wright. I fondly remember him baptizing me at the former First Baptist Church location when I was a child. His impact and influence on our family will be...

We were very sorry to hear of Reverend Wrights passing. I worked for him years ago when he was director of the Neighbor Hood Youth Corp of Montgomery County. He was a kind Christian man and gave me some good advice for how to live a good life. Our sincere condolences to the immediate and extended family. May God comfort you and bless you during this difficult time.
