Honoring the Journey of Mark Wright
Mark Daniel Wright, 57, of Fort Smith, Arkansas, passed away at Mercy Fort Smith. He was born on August 7, 1968, in Fort Smith to Peggy Louise Almond Wright and Billy Ray Wright. A proud graduate of Southside High School's Class of 1986, Mark built a dedicated 15-year career with Pepper Source. Known for his vibrant personality, Mark was truly the life of every gathering-his warm smile, easy humor, and gift for making others feel welcome were trademarks of who he was. He enjoyed movies, music, collecting model cars, cooking, and had a special fondness for John Wayne. Whether he was grilling outdoors or trying out a new recipe, Mark found joy in sharing food and laughter with those he loved. Every future meal shared among family and friends will be a celebration of his spirit. Mark is survived by his two daughters, Emily Louise Wright and Alexandra Nacole Wright; and his brother, John David Wright, and wife, Cindy. He is preceded in death by his grandparents, James W.M. Almond and Della A. Almond; Ray Wright and Lorraine Wright; and by his parents, Peggy Louise Almond Wright and Billy Ray Wright.
