To the Wright and Nick Family: I remember Elder Wright as a man of integrity and honor. He was always a light in the community. He was an encourager. He was dedicated and hard working. He was a man that you could have depended on. He had characteristics like Jesus. He was lowly but meek in heart. He baptized like John. He preached like Paul. He played music like David played the harp and dance like David danced. He sang like the angels. He shouted like the trumpet s and he walked upright like a king. He spoke with wisdom and did not tolerate “foolishness”. Yes, he stood on a rock that will never give away. That rock is Jesus. Family hold onto God's unchanging hands. For if we live right, love right and hold on until God comes; we will see Elder Wright again.
