Ricky Wright Obituary
Ricky was born in Oregon, on September 18, 1961, to his parents, Ronald Wright and Linda Rose Mergel. He moved to California as a young man, eventually settling in Watsonville, where he would meet and marry the love of his life, Donna Jean Radel. They shared 28 wonderful years of marriage until his untimely death.
He loved working as a truck driver, riding motorcycles, and flying large-scale airplanes. Above all, he loved spending time with his friends and family, especially his wife. He was a kind man with a quick smile and will be missed dearly by those who were close to him.
Ricky is survived by his devoted wife, Donna Jean Wright, his son, Richard William Wright, and his siblings, Tawny Marie DesGeorges, and Donald Mergel.
