On Sunday, September 17, 2023 beloved father, uncle, brother, and friend Bruce Wright, 77 of Gainesville went to heaven. While he’s likely still explaining some of his jokes to St. Peter he is no longer “dog tired”.
Bruce was born in August 30 1946 Gainesville to Fred & Bonnie Wright and was the 2nd youngest of the Wright clan. He lived most of his life in Ozark County and attended Gainesville high school. He was a dairy farmer for many years but felt a calling to do home health after taking care of his mother when she had cancer. He raised daughter Scarlet in the family home in Hammond and regularly took local kids to church in Ava so that seeds were planted in their heart from an early age.
He leaves behind his daughter Scarlet, her son Marshall; step kids Maverick, Helen, & Rocco; best friends & partners in life Teresa and her husband Joe. As well as older sister Beverly Jo and younger brother Roger and countless nieces, nephews, and friends.
Siblings Freddy, Ralph, John Wesley, Bonnie, and Janis welcomed him in heaven with open arms.
His service will be held at True Hope General Baptist in Theodosia at 2 pm on Sat Sept 23rd. In lieu of arrangements please send live plants or make a donation in his name to the charity/church of your choice. Or take someone to church!
Cremation services are under the direction of Clinkingbeard Funeral Home, Gainesville, MO.
