Dennis Wright Obituary
October 25, 2020
Orangevale, California - Dennis John Wright 1-13-1955 to 10-25-2020 Dennis was born to Marilynn and Melvin Wright. He had 3 siblings Danny, Denise and Debbie. He was a treasured husband to Glynn, proud dad to Samantha, Brittany, Heather and Taryn and fun loving grandpa to Brandon, Brooklyn, Bella, Blake and Jacob. He served his country for 6 years in the USAF and used his knowledge to become a hvac tech later in life. At ACE he found a job, coworkers and customers he loved to be with. After a very hard 5 year fight with cancer, he lost the battle but never lost his spirit. A celebration of this wonderful man's life will be held Sunday 11/15/2020 from 12 pm to 4pm at 6927 Escallonia Dr. Orangevale CA 95662. Please come to share a memory and for safety, we ask to please wear a mask.

We had dennis's celebration of life this sunday and I want to thank everyone who came and made this day special for him. I knew dennis 27 years and he would of been very happy to see all that came to say goodbye.To those who could not make it I know how much he meant by all the cards sent. Thank you for all of those. I tried very hard to get everyone included in the obituary but with the pain and pressure mistakes happened. To maricus his son in law (more like a son) who should have been listed as his first daughter samantha's husband and to his first wife sue.Again I want to thank all who came,all who helped and all who shared their memories. Dennis was special with his desire to help people in need.He was a great husband and father and even when he had so many burdens given to him he was still able to find times to smile ,laugh ,joke ,and show his love, I was so glad he was able to not fall into a trap of bitterness for the last 5 months as he lost his legs and while he had his moments of despair he was never anything but kind. This was the dennis that will be missed everyday.He amazed me with his spirit and how hard he fought. I am glad to know many felt the same.Thank you for our life together, I miss you

Dennis was always willing to help anybody who need it . I worked with him at Ace and learned a lot from him especially how honest and respectful he was to the people he came across when addressing their hvac systems and what needed to be done to fix , or even sometimes be replaced . I did many installs with Dennis and he would always answer his phone if a problem came up , or would even come to the job to assist if needed. He taught me a lot not only about work , but how to be good and loving person to all . You will be missed my brother , thank you for everything you taught me in life and may your soul rest easy now .

I knew Dennis for 20+ years. He was a great family friend to my father and I. Became a wonderful father to my sister Taryn. Always knew how to crack a quick joke at get togethers go get a laugh out of us all. I was amazed on how he always kept a good spirit after he was diagnosed. Almost seemed like he was just fine. Shows how strong he was at heart and didnt let the scary news bring him down. He will be missed. RIP buddy.
