James Edward Wright, age 64, of Milford, Ohio, passed away peacefully on January 23, 2026. Born on November 30, 1961, in Cincinnati, Ohio, he was a devoted father, brother, and friend who touched the lives of many.

James was a man of few words, but his actions spoke volumes. He believed in sharing kindness with everyone he met. A skilled mechanic, he took great pride in his work and was often known as "Mr. Fix-It." Whether he was fixing cars or riding his beloved Harley-Davidson with the wind in his hair, James found joy in life's simple pleasures.

He is survived by his beloved daughters, Samantha Buckley (Daniel) and Kristy Brock (Corey); his cherished grandchildren, Collin Wright, Kiki Wright, Chase Taylor, Addison Brock, Mark Brock, Kaitlyn Lafferty, Connor Lafferty, Ethan Lafferty and Cohan; and his great-grandchildren, Theo Taylor and Rowan Garza. He will also be deeply missed by his sister, Tammy Wainscott (Henry); brother-in-law, Tim Myers; and nephews, Matthew Myers and David Wainscott.

James was preceded in death by his parents, James and Carol Wright; his son, Jason Wright; and his sister, Teresa Myers.
