Dr. Wright was the ideal role model for patients, parents, family, associates and Bible believers alike to emulate. From our first visit, Howard and I knew he was genuine. He had a godly heart and keen insight for his patients' welfare. Dr. Wright's actions spoke louder than all accolades of thanksgiving for the life and memory of our dear friend and physician, Dr. Harlan Wright.

what is a grandad? a grandad is someone to love, cherish, hold dear to your heart.go to them when you can't talk to anyone else. a grandfather who is a doctor is there to heal his loved ones when they are ill. a grandfather is there for his children in every way no matter what is going on. yet when he goes to heaven he is there as an angel watching over his family.he still comforts us without us knowing. he is like a candle which is warm and loving.yes it is hard for me to say good bye,and yes there will be time when tears flow but he will be there to wipe them away.he says just wait till we see each other again in heaven. Grandaddy thanks for loving each one of us.

Dr. Wright, was a blessing beyond discription. After years of illness and being without much hope, I found Dr. Wright. I had just moved from Lubbock to Miami, Fl when I began to make regular flights back to see him. He was the instrument God used to restore my health and Life. Not only was he my physician, but a caring Father-image and trusted friend! It gives me great joy to know, that though we must say goodbye for now, soon we will enjoy his smiling face again, in Heaven. What a comfort that must be for his family, as well as we, his friends. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

I have had the pleasure and honor to see how his legacy is living on through his wonderful daughter Carol and her great batch of kiddos and now the darling grandkids. His wisdom and high standard of enjoying his life on earth in a healthy and energetic manner has been passed on to his great grand children. Could not ask for a better role model. Although he is missed...it wonderful to see his legacy living on.

Dr. Wright saved my marriage and the life of my children. I was never as trusting to any physician as I was to this compassionate knowledgeable doctor. Since he quit practicing, I have yet to find a family doctor that I can completely trust like I could him. He was the best and was my favorite. He always took his time with me being informative and gentle and especially bubbly. Truly a remarkable man!

Dr. Harlan O.L. Wright was a man of great stature in the life of anyone that knew him at all. He cared about the quality of life for all he came in contact with. He loved the Lord Jesus, and lived fully, engaging all of his gifts and talents to God's glory. This man lived well, and encouraged any that would listen, to do the same.
Thank you Granddad for calling me to a higher standard. I love you,

In 2002, I went to Dr. Wright as a patient. I had had many tests and had seen many doctors. He was working part-time, but took me on as a patient. I have no doubt that if Dr. Wright had not made me well, I would have died long ago. I am thankful to Dr. Wright for giving me good health so I could see my children grow up.

As I sit in silence looking out my kitchen window, wondering how to express my thoughts about "Grandad" who has been such a positive influence in my life, the image of his soft smile and open arms is my most prevalent memory.
Unconditional love and a nurturing heart is what I will remember most.
I love you Grandad.

It is with great sadness that I mark Dr. Wright's passing from this life. He was a good man and physician. He was also admired by my late father Wm. H Brown D.O. of Idalou. It was my good pleasure and good fortune to have been a patient and acquaintance of his also.

I am sorry to hear about Dr. Wright's passing. I remember him as a little girl in Sundown and later as my doctor when I moved to Lubbock. He was a wonderful and kind person. May God comfort you during this time.
