DAVID BRADFORD WRIGHT

WRIGHT, DAVID BRADFORD, 57, Orlando, passed away Saturday, August 7, 2010 just three days after being diagnosed with leukemia. Remembered as the absolutely nicest guy, he always gave of himself, serving as an exceptional role model to the young and not so young around him. A Mayflower descendant born in Plymouth, MA, Dave's Winter Park childhood was filled with Boy Scouts (where he earned the rank of Eagle), choir and youth activities at First Congregational Church, and football at Edgewater High School. He continued Scouting for many years as a leader. For 20 years he served on Orlando's Fiesta In the Park Committee, helping to organize art festivals, upgrade Lake Eola Park, and provide downtown Orlando with Fourth of July fireworks. Dave loved radio and rock music, and after graduating from U.C.F. he worked for 14 years at WOMX(BJ105) as Announcer, Music Director and Promotions Manager. For the next 22 years he worked around the country in attractions management for Six Flags and Wet 'n Wild, where he was a Sales and Marketing Director. Dave leaves behind his loving wife of 23 years, Cynthia; sons Daniel (Michelle) and Adam; parents Herbert and
Barbara; sister Susan; grandchildren Braeden and Olivia. Dave loved to travel and explore with his family. He shared his love of sports with his boys and strongly supported his extended family. A Celebration of his Life on earth will be held at Spirit of Joy Church, 1801 Rouse Road, Orlando, at 11 a.m., Saturday, August 14, with a reception to follow. As Dave supported feeding and housing the poor his entire life, the family suggest in lieu of flowers memorial contributions be made to Habitat For Humanity or Spirit of Joy's Burundi, Africa mission fund.
