Brian Wright

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Brian Richard Wright of Raymond, AB, who left us peacefully on Wednesday, Jan 8th 2025 at the age of 70 years.

Brian will dearly be missed by his son Nephi, his sister Norma (Wright) Zemp and her husband Mark Zemp and their children Jessica (Rodney) Peart, Russell (Kristina) Zemp, Kristin (Cord) Ross, Logan (Amy) Zemp, Brittany (Brad) Kartchner, Mason (Kennedy) Zemp along with numerous cousins and friends.

Brian was predeceased by his parents, Garth and Donna Wright, his grandparents, Golden and Eunice Snow and Fred and Elizabeth Wright. As well as Nephi's mother, Venita Toone.

Brian was born in Calgary, AB and lived in Brooks, AB until he was nine, then moved with his family to Raymond, AB where he resided until his passing.

Brian has always loved trucks, trains and most everything with a motor. His profession as a truck driver took him to almost every state in the United States and the prairies across Canada, seated behind the helm of an 18-wheeler. He was the happiest when he was working hard and driving down the road. There wasn't a better, more meticulous truck driver than Brian.

Brian also enjoyed scuba diving, two-way radios, listening to the police scanners, Chinese food, tables of it and more than anything else - his family. Brian's nieces, nephews and cousins played an important part in Brian's life.

Brian was kind, generous and extremely loyal to his friends, family and employers.

The family wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff at Prairie Ridge Good Sam's in Raymond for the kindness and great care Brian received while living there.

A Celebration of Brian's life will be held on Monday, Jan 13th at 11:00 am at the Raymond Stake Center. Family and friends are invited to meet the family from 10:00 - 10:45 am prior to the service. Interment to follow.
