James Floyd "Jim" Wright

James "Jim" Floyd Wright, 62, of Myrtle Beach, SC, passed away on Sunday, February 9, 2025 at Grand Strand Regional Medical Center.
Born in North Carolina, Jim grew up in Cherryville before moving to Myrtle Beach, where he graduated from Myrtle Beach High School and then Western Carolina University.
He was the beloved son of Sara and Hugh "Floyd" Wright, a cherished brother to Mary Wright Painter and David Wright, a loving husband to Pamela Wright, and devoted father to Andrew and McKinsey Wright.
Jim was a loyal friend, a respected teammate, and a dedicated coach. His time playing and coaching football at Myrtle Beach High School left a lasting impression on him and shaped many of his relationships throughout his life.
Beyond his love for sports, Jim enjoyed watching movies in the theater, riding his motorcycle, and spending time with his daughter and their dogs, Buster & Belle Belle.
Jim passed away on Superbowl Sunday, and took his place at The Great Gig in the Sky, a fitting reflection of his soul.
