Robert Wright Obituary

Robert "Bob" Wright
April 9, 1955 - September 5, 2023
Boise, Idaho - Robert Carloss (Bob) Wright passed away on September 5th, 2023, at 68. He is survived by his wife Kathryn (Kathy) and his two children, Robert William (Stephen) and Alexander Ian "Alex" (Hannah). Bob was born in Boise, Idaho, on April 9th, 1955, to Dellis Wright and Betty Pearl Harris. He was the oldest of their four children, Edwin Andrew Wright, Anna-Marie Robertson (Doyle), and Donald Phillip Wright, along with siblings Harry Warrick (Terri), Ginger Simosko (Ken), and Angela Notarangelo (Nick).
Bob was raised in the Treasury Valley, living in Boise and Murphy. After he graduated from Melba High School, Bob attended college for a short period before entering a career in sales. Bob had experience in automotive and construction sales and finished his career as a realtor.
Bob met his future wife Kathy in 1980, quickly making an inseparable pair. Married in 1981, they enjoyed ten happy years of marriage before they decided to grow their family. Bob was a caring father whose proudest achievement was his two children. He left the workforce after the birth of his first son and took on the role of full-time parent.
Bob will be remembered most for his protective instincts and extraordinarily subtle humor. His service will be Thursday, September 14th at 11 a.m. at Reylea Funeral Chapel in Boise, ID. The family would appreciate it if anyone would like to honor Bob by making a donation to The National Alliance for Mental Illness. www.NAMI.org
