Dewey Wright Obituary
August 24, 1942 - August 11, 2021
Blue Ridge, Georgia - Dewey Franklyn Wright of Eastman, GA, passed away August 11, 2021 from complications due to injuries he received from an automobile accident.
He was surrounded by his loving wife of 57 years, Brenda Darsey Wright, and his brother-in-law, Will Darsey, and sister-in-law, Carol Darsey. He was preceded in death by his father, Reece Styring Wright, his mother, Janet Wade Wright and his brother, Nathaniel Harrison Wright.
Dewey grew up in Dodge County, GA. He was a graduate of Dodge County High School, Georgia Southern University and Mercer School of Pharmacy.
He was the father of two sons; Wade Darsey Wright (Dana Evans Wright) and William Franklyn Wright (Lisa Wright). He is also survived by his grandson, Zachary Wilsson Wright, and his granddaughter, Ansleigh Marie Wright as well as by five step-grandchildren; Eli Chalfant, Holden Chalfant, JD Chalfant, Griffin Chalfant and Tessa Chalfant.
Dewey was a loving husband, proud father and grandfather, and loyal friend; all of whom were loved unconditionally. Family and friends always came first for Dewey. He will be missed beyond words and our world will be just a little darker without his loving light.
A Celebration of Dewey's Life will be announced at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to the Henry-Cochran Funeral Home, you may send condolences to the family and sign the guest register at www.cochranfuneralhomes.com.
