To the family of Mr. David Wright you have my condolences. I did not know him but my father drove school buses for years and the school bus casket made me and my brother think of our father. It takes a special person to drive children around for years. Rest in peace Mr. Wright.

I am so very sorry for your loss! It sounds like Mr. Wilson was a huge part of your school district. As a long-time bus driver myself, I can assure you he loved his kids, all of them!! And, he only had their interest at heart with any decisions he made! May he rest in peace!! Nanette Oswald

I would have liked to know Mr. Wright. Anyone who has worked for the good of children in anyway for as long as he did has certainly left a legacy for all of them...a good heart, loving, caring, responsibility, hard worker, he had to be a man of God, leaving wonderful memories for those who knew him. At age of 76 a life gone too soon.
II Timothy 4:6-8 reads: "...the time of my departure has come. I have finished the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Therefore, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day..."
May the God of Grace and Mercy fill your hearts with His Love and Peace, and comfort you in the days ahead in this most difficult time in the lives of many.

I cant think of a better or kinder person than he was. All of my 4 boys rode his bus at one time. He was always so good to them. I know this isnt good bye it's just I'll see you again soon on Gods golden shore cause if ever a person went to heaven it's David Wright. He is an example of what a good Christian should be.
