Mr. James Kevin Wright of Summersville, son of Jamie Mae (Jaggers) Wright and the late Bernie Edward "Buddy" Wright, was born in Ft. Carson, Colorado on December 10, 1962. He departed this life on Sunday, July 20, 2025 in Lexington at the University of Kentucky Hospital. He was 62 years of age. He had made a profession of faith in Christ and was non-denominational in his beliefs. Mr. Wright was a talented bodyman and was the owner of Wright's Rebuildables. If you knew him, you loved him – and he knew many, many people. His genuine kindness and good heart glued his family together, and that love will continue to hold them together.

Three great-grandchildren,
Five sisters-in-law: Karen Pulley and husband Mike, Vickie Webb, Alicia Webb, Barbara Boils and husband Gillis, and Sissie Bennett and husband Eugene,
And countless other extended family members and friends.
