Michael Wright Obituary

Michael Lester Wright
September 3, 1955 - May 16, 2022
Modesto, California - Michael, Michael, Michael
What can I say? You were our baby brother. We love you so much and you left us way too soon and unexpectedly. There will forever be a hole in our lives that you once filled.
Mike was a very hard worker. He was always helping friends, family, neighbors and even strangers whether it be home projects, cars or any number of things. He was a jack of all trades. Mike had friends at Trailer Haul Concrete and Rock that were like family. He was a very generous big hearted man. From 2004-2008 he had his own business and truck, Wright Mixer Rental. Mike loved fishing and always planned to live on a river when he retired.
Michael was preceded in death by his life partner Cindy Hewitt, his brother-in-law Jerry Lee Silva (Pamela) many aunts and uncles, grandparents - paternal William and Helen Wright, maternal Earl and Dorothy Williams and our dad Neal Bruce Wright. Mike leaves behind our mother Imogene Wright Shepard (she sadly passed a week later) brothers Ronald N Wright, Bruce Dwain Wright (Janice) as well as his sister Pamela Wright Silva, one daughter Tammy Wright Adams, one son J.R. Wright (Sara) 3 grandchildren, nieces and nephews, Aunts, lots of cousins and also Cindy's sons.
Mike was a great animal lover especially his dogs.
A heartfelt thank you to Dennis Lopez (You are family) for being there with us, we know it meant a lot to Michael and all of us for your spiritual support as well as your shoulder to cry on.
Mike you are loved and will we be truly missed by all.
Until we meet in that big fishing hole in heaven Climb high on that mountain and ROCK ON brother Dear.
