1944 – 2019
It is with saddened hearts that the loved ones of Deane John William Wright announce his passing on Friday, March 15, 2019 on his 75th birthday. He has joined his parents Lorraine and Douglas.
Deane leaves behind his loving wife Patricia, daughter Laura (Jim), sons Troy (Loreta), and Patrick; grandchildren Spencer, Brock, Brianna (Randy), Leslie (Juan), Tyson, Rafael and Shirlita. He will be dearly missed by his brother in-law Burt (Brenda) and sisters in-law Joy and Dorothy; nieces and nephews – Deana (Lyle), Crystal, Wanda (Rene), Garry (Kim), and Dustin (Lauren), and many great nieces and nephews. He will be forever remembered by numerous extended family and dear friends.
Deane worked for almost three decades for the City of Kamloops, of which he was quite proud.
We`ll miss you, “Garbage man from hell!“
He had many interests including antiques and history, beautiful fast cars, and gardening. He loved getting his hands dirty and creating something wonderful. But his greatest passion was his family. Whether it was large gatherings or intimate one-to-one conversations, he cherished every moment. He loved having the kids running around, teaching something new, and teasing anyone who would listen.
We will always remember his booming voice, “My way is the right way!“
Big bear hugs, grumpy, gruff and gentle heart.
A family gathering will be held at a later date.
