Sterling Wright Obituary

Sterling was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Gomilla and Riley Stovall and his paternal grandparents, Clarence E. and Arnesia E. Wright.
In addition to his wife and parents, Sterling leaves to cherish his memory two brothers, Steven W. Wright Jr and Stuart W. Wright; as well as two nieces, Chrysta L. Wright and Kara L. Wright; a close brother-in-law, Kelvin Jason; mother-in-law, Ms. Valerie Walker, and a host of family and friends.
