Carl Wright Obituary

Carl Michael Wright, a cherished soul known for his deep love of music, his roaring Harley Davidson, the tranquility of fishing, and a contagious zest for celebrating life, passed away peacefully at the age of 59. Carl's devotion to these passions filled his days with joy and purpose.

Born to Roger and Diana Wright in Lynchburg, Ohio, Carl leaves a void in the hearts of his surviving family: his adored girlfriend, Teresa Fransis of New Albany, Indiana; his beloved son, Christopher Dean Wright, and daughter-in-law Morgan, both of Louisville, Ohio. He is also mourned by his dear siblings, Carla and Donnie Cherry of Greenville, Indiana, and Tracy Kelley, alongside her husband Brian, of Wilmington, Ohio.

Carl's memory will live on through his nephews: Malachi Kelley, Hayden Kelley, and the late Bryce Kelley, who now rests in peace. His nieces, Shantae Schaaf, along with her husband Bryan Schaaf of New Albany, Indiana, and Chanda Kelley, along with her husband Dan Blackburn, of Grove City, Ohio, cherish the moments and memories they shared with their uncle.

Throughout his life, Carl touched the lives of many with his unwavering enthusiasm for music, the freedom of riding the open road, the tranquility of a fishing line in the water, and his infectious celebration of each passing day. His laughter, kindness, and vibrant spirit will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Carl's departure from this world leaves a void that cannot be filled. However, the warmth of his love and the echoes of his laughter will continue to resonate in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to share in his journey.

A celebration of Carl's life will be held at a later date, where friends and family will gather to honor and reminisce about the life of this remarkable man.

Met Carl when he lived in Holt, MI. I met him when he came to Zion Lutheran with a friend. There was nothing Carl could not fix on a home or business property. He made preetty good moonshine also. We always had a good time when together at the campground or local pub.
