I will never forget Coach Wright.He was my favorite teacher for so many reasons. He really cared for his students, you dont see that anymore. Kim, you cant even think what it was like to have a class of all girls for health when we were at the age we had stupid questions and Coach never skipped a beat. He was special. My prayers are with you and the kids.

"Coach" Wright influenced my life more than any other teacher. His words of wisdom and jokes made my high school years so special. I was his aide my Sr. year and I always felt like I could talk to him when my parents weren't available. He was a great man and a godly influence on all those around him. Kim, you will never know how much he was loved. Heaven is gaining a very special man. Thank you for sharing him with us.

"Coach" Wright was my high school basketball coach @ Graford High School 23 years ago.. My basketball career was cut short but with Kim and Royce's words of advice I knew things would be okay... I will never forget those hours of racketball with "Coach" Wright and "Coach" Spain. Great memories, and i only had him in my life a minut time and what an impact he made. Kim,you and the family are in our prayers and hopefully I will see you soon.

Coach Wright was a coach, administrator, & mentor to me for most of my academic career at Graford. He always took time out to help any kid or just shoot some baskets. He will always hold a special place in my heart.

I attended Millsap High with Royce. Sat near him in some of my classes. Royce was always a fun guy, quiet at times, but really a nice guy. I'm sure he will be missed by many. My prayers are with his family and close friends during their time of sorrow.
