Ronald Wright Obituary

Ronald Mac Wright, Sr., 79, of Mahaffey, passed away peacefully at home on Feb. 19, 2026.
He was born on April 29, 1946, in Burnside to Ross J. and Mae (Bouch) Wright.
After serving in the U.S. Navy during Vietnam, he spent many years running heavy equipment for Benjamin Coal Co. Ronald had a passion for the outdoors and hunting, but he especially enjoyed fishing with his son Ronnie and grandson Nick in the Gulf of Louisiana. One of his fondest memories was when Ronnie and Donnie took him to Texas to cheer on the Dallas Cowboys, his favorite football team. Ronald was a member of The Church of Christ and he loved spending time with family, creating memories that his loved ones will always treasure.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 58 years, Patricia (Hilliard) Wright, his children: Ronald Jr. (Jacque) Wright, Louisiana, Melissa Wright Termin, Mahaffey, John (Kelly) Wright, Missouri, Donald (Christine) Wright, Mahaffey, and Bridgett (Skip) Buterbaugh, Cherry Tree, 21 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, brother Dan (Carol) Wright, and many nieces and nephews who will miss him dearly.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Larry Wright and Thomas Wright and Robert Wright.
