Douglas Wright Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Douglas passed away after living 78 years of powerful self-reliance, dedicated brotherhood, and spiritual lovingkindness. He is survived by his loving partner, Cheryle Lees Lawson, and three daughters. He leaves a deep void in the hearts of many.
Doug was a devoted family member, and his gifts of nurturing and guidance were shared with a broad community of loved ones he cultivated. As he moved to different places, he always found a church home, and he was an avid participant in book clubs and men's study groups, focusing not just on biblical texts but Luther's works and philosophers such as Bonhoeffer. He also was a member of the Normanna Male Chorus of Tacoma and the Pilgrim Lutheran Church of Puyallup choir.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the American Heart Association, Inc., a nonprofit organization, EIN 13-5613797, with address at 7272 Greenville Avenue, Dallas, TX 75231 or its lawful successor.
